Summary
This conversation discusses weight loss strategies for women over 40 using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and terzepatide. Lori emphasizes that weight loss may take more time in this age range due to hormonal changes and insulin resistance. The key strategies discussed include lowering carbohydrate intake, ensuring adequate protein and healthy fat consumption, and incorporating weight training exercises to build muscle and improve insulin resistance. Lori also shares a patient case study and highlights the importance of focusing on overall body composition rather than just the number on the scale.
