If you're experiencing menopause and considering Ozempic (semaglutide), you're likely wondering whether this popular weight loss medication can help with the hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and other symptoms that often accompany this life transition. While Ozempic doesn't directly treat menopause symptoms the way hormone replacement therapy does, it may provide indirect benefits by addressing weight gain and metabolic changes that can worsen during menopause.

At The Blood Sugar Method, we bring in monthly experts to give our members practical tools that support metabolism, hormones, and long-term health. This month, we hosted Andrea Dahr, clean-living educator and founder of The Natural Beauty App, for a highly requested workshop on a topic many women overlook: The hidden chemicals inside everyday personal care and home products and how they influence metabolic health.

Perimenopause brings significant hormonal changes that often lead to weight gain, particularly around the midsection. As estrogen levels fluctuate and eventually decline, many women find that their usual diet and exercise routines no longer work the same way. This has led to growing interest in GLP-1 receptor agonists—medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes that have shown remarkable effectiveness for weight management.

After more than two decades of fear and misinformation, the FDA has announced the removal of black box warnings from hormone replacement therapy (HRT/MHT) products for menopause. This historic decision represents a monumental shift in women's healthcare and restores evidence-based science to menopause treatment. Here's what just changed and what it means for you.

If you've noticed an intense desire for cookies, chocolate, or ice cream since entering menopause, you're not imagining things. Research shows that hormonal changes during menopause can directly trigger sugar cravings, affecting up to 60% of women during this transition. Understanding why this happens—and knowing it's a real physiological response—can help you manage these cravings more effectively.

Many women going through menopause wonder whether menopause hormone therapy (MHT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), will impact their blood sugar levels. The relationship between MHT/HRT and glucose metabolism is complex, with research showing predominantly positive effects on blood sugar control. Understanding how MHT/HRT affects your body's ability to manage glucose can help you make informed decisions about your health during and after menopause.

Managing your metabolic health shouldn't break the bank. Whether you're navigating menopause, dealing with prediabetes, struggling with weight management for medical reasons, or experiencing blood sugar fluctuations, you might be wondering how to afford the comprehensive support you need without relying solely on traditional insurance coverage. The good news? You may already have access to funds specifically designated for healthcare expenses through your Health Savings Ac

Menopause brings many changes to your body, and one of the less talked about, but increasingly important, effects is how it impacts your blood sugar. As estrogen levels decline, your body's ability to manage glucose can shift, potentially increasing your risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The good news? Exercise offers a research-backed solution that can help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout this transition and beyond.

If you've ever noticed your blood sugar rising around your period, during pregnancy, or as you approach menopause, you're not imagining things. Your estrogen levels have a huge impact on how your body handles blood sugar, and understanding this connection can be a game-changer. Many women struggle with unexplained blood sugar swings, weight gain, or energy crashes without realizing their hormones might be the culprit. The good news? You can work with your body instead of aga
