GLP-1

If perimenopause or menopause has left you struggling with weight gain, cravings, fatigue, or blood sugar changes, you’re not alone—and it’s not a failure on your part. Hormonal shifts during this phase of life can increase insulin resistance, inflammation, and stubborn abdominal fat, even when your habits haven’t changed.

GLP-1 medications work by supporting the body’s natural appetite and glucose-regulation pathways. Beyond weight loss, studies show GLP-1 therapy may help improve insulin resistance, cardiometabolic risk factors, and markers of inflammation—issues that commonly affect women as we age.
However, GLP-1 therapy is not one-size-fits-all and should always be used under close medical supervision. Proper dosing, lab monitoring and side-effect management are essential for both safety and success.

At Ramos Women’s Wellness Center, we have seen positive results in many patients when GLP-1 support is carefully prescribed and monitored as part of a comprehensive, individualized plan. In some cases, GLP-1s are used alongside thoughtfully managed HRT, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle strategies to support long-term health—not quick fixes.

Dr. Ramos’ goal is to help women in this phase of life feel their absolute best—strong, energized, and confident—while prioritizing safety, sustainability, and whole-body wellness.

If you’re curious whether GLP-1 therapy might be right for you, we invite you to schedule a conversation with Dr. Ramos and her team. Together, we’ll determine the safest, most effective approach for your body, hormones, and goals.
