The Metluma Edit from Dr Nic: Metabolism & Menopause
3 minute read
You’re not imagining it — your metabolism really does change in peri‑/menopause.
As oestrogen ebbs and flows, many of us notice new belly weight, sugar or cholesterol numbers creeping up, or just feeling more tired despite doing “all the right things”.
It’s confusing — and the noise around GLP‑1s and “fixing metabolism” doesn’t help.
This month, let’s cut through that noise together. I’ll be going live with our amazing team — Jarrah Eddy and Dr Jo Sharp — to unpack what’s actually happening to your metabolism, how GLP‑1s work (and where they don’t), and what truly supports long‑term health and energy in midlife.
No hype, no shame — just real talk about what your body’s doing and how to work with it, not against it.
Warmest,
Dr Nic, Specialised GP
