Many patients experience changes in weight, energy, appetite, and body composition during midlife — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Unfortunately, these conversations can feel rushed, confusing, or overly simplified in the exam room.
This free one-page patient handout helps support more productive discussions about metabolic health by clearly outlining the key foundations that influence metabolism.
Designed for clinicians to share with patients, the handout covers:
• The core lifestyle foundations of metabolic health
• Biological factors that influence metabolism in midlife
• An introduction to evidence-based medication options
• Patient-friendly explanations of how GLP-1 medications work, who may be a candidate, and common side effects
• QR codes that allow patients to check GLP-1 medication coverage and explore additional resources
This resource can be used during visits, included in after-visit summaries, or shared with patients who are asking about GLP-1 medications.
