- Women are struggling with different issues at different stages of life, whether it be infertility, peri/post menopause symptoms, metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, and more.
GLP-1s have sparked interest as a tool for improving these conditions, but haven’t come without criticism.
Some fear dependence on the medication, others fear muscle loss, and others fear increased cancer risk.
Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD, Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD, Dr. Shannon Ritchey, DPT, and McCall McPherson, PA-C, lead this conversation surrounding how these medications can affect women at different stages, who they are and aren’t indicated for, and how to avoid side effects. Â
