What Is a GLP-1 Moment
USP Regulations Noom has carefully selected pharmacy partners that are held to strict standards to ensure quality and compliance
Beyond hormonal changes, several interconnected factors may contribute to perimenopausal weight gain: Metabolic slowdown : Basal metabolic rate naturally decreases with age, meaning the body burns fewer calories at rest Muscle mass loss : Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) accelerates during perimenopause, further reducing metabolic rate Sleep disruption : Night sweats and insomnia, common perimenopausal symptoms, interfere with hormones regulating appetite and glucose metabolism Mood changes : Anxiety, depression, and stress during this transition may lead to emotional eating patterns Reduced physical activity : Fatigue, joint pain, and other symptoms may decrease exercise tolerance Research suggests women may gain weight gradually during perimenopause, though individual experiences vary considerably

Metabolic Health Clinical Implications: While human trials are limited, they demonstrate significant metabolic improvements particularly with respect to insulin resistance and glucose control
Retatrutide is becoming the focus for studies that require aggressive lipid clearance, extreme metabolic stabilization, or investigations into thermogenesis and energy balance
