Optimizing Hormones for Women in Their 30s, 40s & 50s

Описание: Root-cause strategies for perimenopause, thyroid issues, and GLP-1 use—helping women achieve sustainable, muscle-preserving weight loss.

In this episode, we talk with Margaux Cousturian, PA-C, about the real reasons women struggle with stubborn weight gain—especially in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. We explore how perimenopause, thyroid health, stress, inflammation, and GLP-1 medications intersect, and why lasting results require more than calorie counting. Margo shares practical steps, smarter lab testing, and simple strategies to support muscle, metabolism, and sustainable weight loss.
