In this action-packed episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz to unpack the biggest misconceptions surrounding menopause, and introduce the concept of using GLP-1 medications in chorus with hormone replacement therapy for positive health (and weight-release) outcomes.

An OB/GYN, Integrative Health Practitioner and author of Menopause Bootcamp, Dr. Suzanne’s insights sound like a battle cry for women to optimize their health and empower themselves and flourish as they age.

Throughout the high-energy discussion, Elizabeth and Dr. Suzanne discuss the biggest myths about menopause, and dive into the real deal about HRT—what works, what doesn’t, and what you need to know if you’re thinking about adding it to your GLP-1 journey.

If you’re interested in a holistic approach to GLP-1s, this combo could be a game changer—not just for weight loss, but for inflammation, energy and even long-term brain health. As Dr. Suzanne says, we seem to have entered the Wild West of discovering the full potential of GLP-1 agonist medications.

So if you’ve been wondering how to feel better, think clearer, and actually release weight—body, mind, and soul—you’re going to want to give this one a listen!
