  Beyond the Scales: Menopause, Metabolic Health & the Role of GLP-1 Medications

  Jul 25, 20261 hourS1

  Why does weight suddenly seem to increase during perimenopause and menopause, even when nothing has changed? It's one of the most common and frustrating questions women ask during midlife, and in this episode of The Healthy Menopause Podcast , I'm joined by Dr Angela Kwong to unpack the science behind weight change, metabolic health, body composition, and the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications. Dr Angela Kwong is a General Practitioner with a special interest in obesity management, metabolic health, and women's health. She is the founder of Enlighten Me, a medically supervised digital weight management program, and the NSW State Lead for the RACGP Specific Interests Group in Obesity Management. Together, we explore why the old advice of "eat less and exercise more" often falls short during menopause, what is actually happening physiologically, and how women can take a more informed and compassionate approach to their health. We also dive into one of the biggest health topics of recent years, GLP-1 medications. How do they work? Who might benefit from them? And why is preserving muscle mass just as important as losing body fat? In this episode we discuss: Why weight and body composition often change during perimenopause and menopause The hormonal and metabolic changes happening beneath the surface Why traditional dieting advice doesn't always work in midlife The difference between weight loss and improving metabolic health How GLP-1 medications work and who they may be suitable for Why resistance training and adequate protein are essential for preserving muscle during weight loss Common misconceptions about menopause, metabolism, and obesity Practical strategies women can start implementing to support long-term health This episode is a reminder that menopause is about far more than the number on the scales. It's about understanding your changing physiology, protecting muscle, supporting metabolic health, and making informed decisions that help you feel stronger and healthier for years to come.

  Women's Health at Work™ The Missing Conversation in Modern Leadership

  Jul 11, 202614 minS1

  Why this episode is different... This episode marks an exciting new chapter for The Healthy Menopause Podcast . For years, my work has focused on supporting women through perimenopause, menopause and midlife health- helping women understand their bodies, build strength, improve their health and feel empowered through this important stage of life. But over time, one thing became increasingly clear: Women's health does not exist in isolation from the environments we live and work in. The workplace plays a significant role in women's health experiences, yet many organisations and leaders still feel unsure about how to support women through the health transitions they may experience throughout their careers. In this special episode, I introduce my new initiative: Women's Health at Work™ a framework designed to help organisations better understand women's health across the workforce lifecycle and equip leaders with the knowledge, confidence and tools to have more supportive conversations. Together, we'll explore why women's health is not simply a wellbeing issue, but a workforce issue. We'll discuss: ✨ Why supporting women's health matters for organisations ✨ The health transitions women experience throughout their working lives ✨ Why leaders often want to help but don't know where to start ✨ How workplaces can create cultures where women feel supported, understood and able to thrive This episode represents the next evolution of my work- bringing together more than 20 years of experience in exercise physiology, workplace rehabilitation, corporate wellbeing and women's health. Because supporting women isn't just about helping individuals. It's about creating healthier workplaces where women can continue to contribute, lead and thrive. If you're a leader, HR professional, People & Culture specialist or workplace wellbeing professional, this conversation is for you. Want to learn more about how i can support your organisation?
