I’m delighted to bring you a midlife metabolic health masterclass for women today, with experts Dr. Yael Joffe, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Lara Briden, Dr. Felice Gersh, and Dr. Alexandra Sowa. In this masterclass, our panel of experts explores how women’s metabolisms change in perimenopause, how our fat cells change with age, and how those changes influence our estrogen, insulin, and body composition. We examine how muscle, estrogen, and satiety mechanisms can improve or worsen metabolic health, the roles of aging, stress, inflammation, and ovarian health, and how body changes become metabolic risks. Join us for today’s impactful masterclass with our insightful panel of metabolic health experts. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why the amount of body fat you carry does not necessarily determine your metabolic health How declining estrogen during menopause can change where women store their body fat Why women have to work harder to maintain and build muscle as estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause How women can continue building muscle at any age Why progesterone is not only a reproductive hormone or something prescribed to protect the uterine lining The changes women may experience as their estradiol and progesterone production declines in midlife What women considering GLP-1 medications for menopausal weight gain should look at, beyond the number on the scale How to support your gut health and manage gastrointestinal symptoms when taking a GLP-1 The factors Dr. Joffe takes into account when evaluating women during their menopausal transition Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website.
