GLP-1s for Menopause, Brain Health + Wei...

Chalene Johnson
About this episode

If you've been curious about GLP-1s but assumed they're only for people with diabetes or major weight to lose—this episode will absolutely shift your perspective. Chalene sits down with Dr. Kathleen Jordan of MIDI Health to unpack everything from microdosing GLP-1s (like Ozempic and Wegovy) to their shocking brain-protective benefits, and even their potential role in reducing addictive behaviors like snacking or drinking. They cover why perimenopausal and menopausal weight gain feels so defeating, how compounding pharmacies work, and why GLP-1s might actually be part of a longevity plan. Oh, and if you’ve ever worried about backlash from “cheating” with a medication… this one’s especially for you.
