Curious about how rapid weight loss might be affecting your muscle and bone health? In this episode, Louise dives into the risks associated with popular GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, particularly for active women and runners going through perimenopause.

In fact, there are many unexpected consequences for active women and runners that even the medical community never saw coming! 

Louise doesn’t just talk the talk; she also shares her personal struggles with hormonal imbalances, emotional eating, and how she’s navigated these challenges. You'll gain practical tips on overcoming late-night cravings, the importance of community support, and how to maintain healthy habits as your body changes.
