What’s really going on with women, weight loss, and hormones?
In this tell-it-like-it-is episode of Possibilities with Monique de Maio, we’re joined by board-certified OB/GYN and retreat alum Dr. Cindy Parnes, who’s spent over 30 years treating real women with real questions about their health.
We get into the nitty-gritty of hormonal imbalances, menopause myths, metabolism shifts, weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, and the truth about what’s normal vs. what you’ve been told to “just deal with.”
This is your no-BS medical primer with warmth, humor, and a whole lot of facts.
You’ll learn:
→ Why we need to stop ignoring perimenopause symptoms
→ How stress and cortisol wreak havoc on your hormones
→ What to know before trying weight loss injectables
→ The difference between lifestyle “hacks” and medical science
→ Why advocating for yourself is not optional
Whether you’re in your 30s or your 60s, this one’s for any woman trying to understand her body better and reclaim her vitality (without shame).
Listen now and get the inside dope from a doctor who actually gets it.
