Menopausal Weight Gain: The ”Skinny” with Dr. Daniela Hurtado

Ozempic? Wegovy? Zepbound? Menopausal women are being bombarded with new weight loss medications as the possible answer to menopause weight gain. 

But, are they the right answer?

We went straight to the source and spoke with Dr. Daniela Hurtado.  Dr. Hurtado is a physician and scientist and she is part of the Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine for Obesity Program.  She explains why weight gain is happening to midlife women, a variety of different options that may help and the "skinny" on these medications.

As always, talk to your doctor about your personal journey before making any decisions.
