Cynthia Thurlow on GLP-1s, Hormones & Fat Loss | SNH Podcast #155

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice December 24, 2025 Duration: 1:04:29

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Cynthia Thurlow joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation about fasting, female hormones, GLP-1s, and navigating midlife as a high-performing woman. With clarity and nuance, Cynthia breaks down what works — and what backfires — when it comes to metabolic health for women over 35.

Join us as we delve into:
• Why intermittent fasting isn't a one-size-fits-all solution
• How hormone shifts change the fasting game for women
• What GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy really do — and don't do
• How to stay metabolically flexible through perimenopause

This episode is for you if:
• You're a woman over 35 trying to fast smarter, not harder
• You're curious about GLP-1s but want balanced, science-based insight
• You've hit a metabolic wall and need smarter strategies
• You want practical, hormone-informed tools for fat loss and focus
