The medication works.

The science is solid. The data is there.

But the conversation around the medication — perimenopause, body image, the psychology of significant weight loss, what weaning actually takes, the mindset work nobody tells you to do until you're already stuck — that conversation has been scattered everywhere except where it should be.

GLP-1 Decoded for Women pulls it together. The first summit built specifically for women on these medications. Hosted by my friend, Insiya Klapper , running June 8–12.

I really appreciated the depth of discussion we had and here are some key takeaways:
➡️ we can help our patients move away from weight-related goals and move towards behavior and self-talk/thought change goals
➡️"name it" is a real change tool...only by tuning in and paying attention to our emotions can we learn to sit with and tolerate them and therefore not engage in self-harm actions to avoid them
