    Perimenopause Explained: Symptoms, Diagnosis & What to Expect

    Perimenopause: What Every Woman—and Her Partner—Should Know In this episode of the Endocrine Echo Lounge, Doctor Henry explains what perimenopause is, when it begins, and why the transition can look different from woman to woman. We discuss the common symptoms of perimenopause, how the diagnosis is made, and the important hormonal changes that occur as the ovaries gradually become less predictable. We also explore how these changes can affect sleep, mood, menstrual cycles, weight, metabolism, and overall well-being. Most importantly, this episode helps separate what is a normal part of the menopausal transition from symptoms that may require further evaluation. This conversation is not just for women. Perimenopause can affect relationships, families, and partners, making understanding and communication an important part of the journey. Takeaway: Perimenopause is a natural transition, but that does not mean women should simply suffer through their symptoms. Understanding what is happening—and knowing when to seek medical guidance—can make this stage of life much easier to navigate.

    “GLP-1s in the Real World: What You Need to Know”

    In this episode of Endocrine Echo Lounge, Dr. Henry explains what patients really need to know about using GLP-1 medications in the real world. GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, but their use also raises important practical questions. What side effects should you expect?

Dr. Henry discusses common gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and dehydration, and explains why these effects occur and when they may require medical attention. The episode also explores muscle loss during weight loss—why preserving muscle matters and the important roles of adequate protein intake, physical activity, and resistance exercise. Dr. Henry also addresses what to do when a GLP-1 dose is missed and discusses the considerations surrounding GLP-1 medications before surgery and other medical procedures. The goal is to move beyond the hype and provide a balanced, evidence-based conversation about the benefits, limitations, and practical safety considerations of GLP-1 medications.
