Summary

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.

0:00.0	Menopausal weight gain is the bane of so many of our existence, whether it's perimenopause,
0:06.3	or you're just feeling like I'm putting on weight in areas I've never had body fat before.
0:12.4	Maybe you've even considered doing a gLP one, but you thought that's something only people
0:16.5	who are clinically or morbidly obese are candidates for.
0:23.3	But if you are considering, is it something that makes sense if you only have like 10 or 15 pounds to lose? And what about the new research
0:28.6	that seems to suggest this might be the answer when it comes to protecting our brains,
0:33.4	reducing our risk of all-cause mortality? How do you find a compounding pharmacy or a doctor to prescribe this?

0:54.7	want to maintain your weight? Answers to all those questions and more today here on the
1:00.0	Shalene Show. Really exciting stuff happening in the field of hormones, in the field of helping
1:07.5	women who are struggling with perimenopause and menopause and weight gain and all of the
1:12.3	symptoms that come with it. So today I am really excited to have a guest on her show. She's been
1:18.2	featured before. She has over two decades of experience in internal medicine. She is the chief
1:23.3	medical officer at Middy Health. She is an outspoken advocate for women who deserve to have
