This has been one of the most shared series in the history of the Jamie Kern Lima show and brand new today backed by popular demand. She's often called the top menopause doctor in the world. Dr. Mary Cla Haver is here in this part four menopause masterclass episode where today we're talking all things GLP1s. Those are the weight loss and weight management drugs that are taking the world by storm. Are they right for you? What are the risks versus rewards? All the things your doctor might have forgotten to mention. We are going there today. And whether you're listening for yourself or because someone you love shared this episode with you, I want to welcome you to the Jamie Kernina Show podcast family. Ompic we go Zepbound.

GLP1s are a class of medications that are peptides found naturally in the body. They've been around for over 20 years. We have all of that safety data. They're blocking the things that drive us to eat. It's also blocking things that drive us to drink or drive us to gamble. Kind of these compulsive behaviors. Wonderful studies coming out on the mental health benefits of GOP1s. It slows the food emptying from the stomach. It's really for my patients been miraculous. Muscle mass has a dramatic loss through pmenopause. Body fat has sees a tremendous uptick and increase in the percentage of body fat across the menopause transition. We're losing muscle and gaining fat just from being menopausal people. Right now, 1.2 billion women are in pmenopause or menopause. And whether or not you're experiencing this personally in your life right now, I guarantee you someone in your life is. Can you get GLP1s

covered by insurance if you're not obese? It's getting harder. cost of these medications is outrageous.

It's like $1,000 a month. It's ridiculous. More coupons are coming. But just to demonize a patient and tell her it's her willpower.

Yeah. Is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of medicine, which now with the obesity genes, all these other things, they're proving it's her willpower.

No, it's not talking. And I was taught in that generation of it's her fault. Yeah.

She's just lazy until I believed that my whole life like, "Oh, I'm gaining weight. It's definitely my fault." you know, I've been tested for the obesity genes now and I actually have two of them and I'm like, oh, you know, and your brain works differently. So, there's so much science.

The entire biological drive is working against you. GLP1s are far superior to metformin.

Do you prescribe both to your patients or you predominantly do GLP1s? If somebody's doctor says no,

no. If somebody's like if they go to their doctor and say, I'm really really interested

in GLP1s and they go, "Oh, you should just work out and eat better." What? and then you turn around and tell them I'm doing that and they say no you can't be therefore you wouldn't be obese then you need to find a new doctor

what are some of the resources that exist online cuz there's now through tellaalth you can get prescriptions in other ways

cuz it's not just take this medication woo go be thin and off you go it is really rewiring your brain a lot of people worry about like ozumpy face or oympic is that simply just you've lost

massive weight loss you've lost weight fast right and when you lose weight fast the elasticity of the skin struggles to keep up and so we see more of the hanging skin. So GLP1s don't change your face or your body. That's more the result of

skin from weight loss. Okay. I think there's a misconception out there. They're like, "Wait, I don't want to get that

with GLP1s, the risk of losing muscle." Because if we're not eating enough, we might not be eating enough protein. We might not be lifting weights. And you talk about how critical it is.

Prioritize your protein. Strong over skinny. Okay. They're balling, crying in my office when I'm like, "You're amazing. Oh my god, look at all this muscle." I can think about the times in my life where I've been the thinnest. I've felt the worst. I have felt the wor. And I've also felt the hardest confident. The least confident, too. I feel like the more we're focused on the wrong things, the more insecure we feel. You look at the data, it's like 91% of girls and women literally opt out of meaningful activities in their life when they're worried about how they look or they don't like how they look or and I just feel like we've bought into diet culture in the wrong way for so long.

It's just a hack. It's such an easy hack that almost anybody can do. I want to just announce it to the world. You're hearing it first here that

menopause is inevitable, but suffering is not. and you can make a change, but you're going to have to advocate for yourself and you're going to have to educate yourself. There's so many incredible resources that you share. A lot of them are free. Whether you're a man or a woman, menopause is going to affect you because it's going to affect 50% of our society right now. Whether you or someone you love is experiencing pmenopause, which can start at 30 or even younger, or menopause, which can typically start in your 40s, 50s, or 60s. There is so much conflicting information about the subject. So few doctors are well trained and there's so many things our mothers didn't tell us or even know about it. And it's time that you feel informed about what's going on with your body, your brain, and your hormones. Today is your menopause master class and you're going to leave this episode with your own menopause

toolkit equipped with the info and tools you need that I know are going to impact your life today.

The three stages of menopause on what's actually happening in your body on your changing hormones on hormone replacement therapy including the risks versus the benefits. Should you do it? How? and when on belly fat and weight gain linked to menopause and what you can do about it right now and on the surprising symptoms happening to so many women that go untreated and overlooked by the majority of doctors

Welcome to the Jamie Karn Lemish Show. Oprah, how have you defied the odds? Her show is unlike any I've ever done.

A revelation. When you listen, it feels like a hug, but your brain and your spirit and your heart is like, "Wow, Melinda French Gates."

When I look into Jaime's eyes, I feel like I am on some other cosmic level with her. I could see the light around her. She's infused with light. Imagine overcoming self-doubt, learning to believe in yourself and trust yourself and know you are enough. Welcome to the Jamie Kern Lima show.

Jamie Kern Lima is her name. Everybody needs Jamie K Lima in their life. Jamie Karn Lima.

Jamie, you're so inspiring. Jamie Kern Lima. When it comes to belly fat, weight gain, visceral fat,

all of the symptoms associated with weight gain that come with parmenopause and menopause. And when it comes to GLP1s,

I want to ask you about this because this is an issue facing so many people and one of the biggest questions I get and I am not a doctor. I get people asking me about GLP1s all the time meaning ompic we go zbound all of them semiglutide.

So GLP1s are a class of medications that are peptides found naturally in the body. So when I was researching for the Galveston diet, my first book, and I was looking at the hormones that affect where and how we gain weight, and I was kind of astounded, not only is it insulin, but things like leptin and grein that control our hunger and drive fat to certain areas, and then things like GLP-1s and hormone PPY. So what science has been able to do is pull out the that you know make the GLP-1 which is a natural peptide and get it into a form that it actually lasts longer in the body. So natural GLP1s actually only have a halflife of a few minutes. You know your body creates it and within like two or three minutes it's out of your system. It gets used and done. With the commercially available JLP1s in the medication form they've been able to tag them where they can last for about a week. So, we're seeing the benefits of

what they do for us in a very short term when we create them in the body and they can extend the life of that benefit forever. They've been around for over 20 years.

They've been used in the treatment of diabetes for 20 years. They've known about these medications forever. So, we have all of that safety data. What happened was we've known forever that people who are adequately treated for their diabetes lose weight. And they were starting to do testing to see if people who were non-diabetics would they lose weight as well who were obese. Okay.

Mhm. And as we know now, yes, it worked very very very well. And so then the frenzy kind of started. It was the next like WHI study, right? And what what was the bigger medical news story last year or year before than the use of what was ompic for the treatment of obesity and how would that help, you know? And it turns out

when we, you know, GLP1 seem to have independent action in the brain, they're blocking the things that drive us to eat. It's also blocking things that drive us to drink or drive us to gamble. Kind of these compulsive behaviors. Wonderful studies coming out on the mental health benefits of GOP1s. Um, also on it slows the food emptying from the stomach. So food stays longer in the tummy longer, which is why we see some of the nausea and some of the other issues with GOPs. But when you slow food down, you're not as hungry, right? The tummy is feeling full and is feeding back other chemicals to the brain saying, "We're good. We don't need to eat." that drive to eat the next meal decreases. Um, when we slow things down, we also decrease how fast um, the food is being absorbed into the system, blood system. So, we're seeing lower insulin spikes. I mean, everything kind of gets better when you've struggled with those

things before that were driving people's obesity. And it's really for my patients been miraculous.

Absolutely miraculous. So, when I first opened, GLP1s were not kind of a thing back then. I knew about them because I went to medical school, but it was never anything I ever um considered learning about or or introducing into my practice because that was for diabetes and we treat menopause and not diabetes. But the majority of my patients were coming in with either new or continuing issues with weight, especially the new fat gain. So what happens across a menopause transition a beautiful study done uh in 2019 studied 1,200 women across the transition track their hormone levels and tracked their body fat their visceral m their total body fat and their muscle mass and their BMI and what they saw is this S-shaped curve. So when they were their muscle mass has a dramatic loss through pmenopause and then it continues to decline but that stabilizes the loss their bone their and but their body fat has sees a tremendous

uptick and increase in the percentage of body fat across the menopause transition and then but the weight gain is steady state. So we're losing muscle and gaining fat just from being menopausal people. If you look at visceral fat distribution, which is where I kind of zone in on, a woman can expect to have 8% of her body fat as visceral fat when she's premenopausal. And we take her twin who doesn't go through menopause till 5 years later. Okay? Her risk increases to 23%.

And that's the dangerous fat in your menop. That is the fat that is dangerous, inflammatory, and linked to hypertension diabetes high cholesterol, stroke, all of the cardioabolic diseases.

That is the fat that is dangerous. Subcutaneous fat is actually not that harmful. It gives us curves. We're cosmetically distressed by it. We've been conditioned to think it's bad. It's horrible. But it really more represents just our beautiful genetic expression of our bodies, our natural curves. It's the intraabdominal fat where I get nervous and I start talking about diabetes. And so when my patients are coming in with elevated visceral fat, we start them on hormone therapy. We give them a nutrition plan. We do all the things.

And for about 60% of our patients, they do great with that. That's all they needed. Especially if they'd never had a weight problem before. You know, if fat distribution was not a problem before menopause. We give them hormones. We teach them all about nutrition and things we need to change in menopause. And they do great. But another 30%, the last 30 to 35% are still struggling, still have elevated risk factors for, you know, chronic disease. And then we start the GLP-1 conversation with them. Now, what's happening is GOP1's are becoming widely available, and I don't think patients are getting the right counseling. We spent another hour with her talking about muscle mass and loss and what happens with when your hunger cues go down and really making yourself eat enough protein and it's time to get to the gym. But with the mental health changes going along with the medication, I have never seen my patients more

motivated to stick to a plan. So, you're passionate about GLP1. Yes. They get it. They get it. They get it. It's happening. They're going to the gym. They're they're focusing on their muscle mass. They're buying the home scales and measuring their muscle mass at home, which aren't quite as accurate as my fancy machine in the office, but it's something. And they're learning to track health and not weight. And it is absolutely miraculous. So, we do use them in clinic judiciously. We give incredible amounts of guidance. We're tracking muscle mass and fat loss through the process. And our patients who are choosing to do it are doing really well. Can you get GLP1s covered by insurance if you're not obese?

Um, it depends on the insurance company. And what's happened is the generosity generosity, it's getting harder.

So, I was having patients being who had pre-diabetes and things and having it covered, but that is getting harder and harder. The cost of these medications is outrageous. And when you look at the the like global economics of it to get it in the UK is like I want to say like $100 a month. It is at, you know, what the UK is able to get it for because they negotiated with Nova

Nordisk is so much less than what the in the US were just the cash cow. It's like $1,000 a month.

It's ridiculous. And most of my patients that is a really really hard thing for them to try. Now again, more coupons are coming. I just had a patient call me and say she was able to get the pens for 500 and that was a lot more affordable. But still for you know the the sweet lady listening on Ohio she's like what do I do? Okay so good news is that with you know things in administration with the government it's all about government contracts and how much they can get it for. You know the the the head of the treasury for I think North Carolina this wonderful man came out and said if we were able to give every patient who deserved it

a GLP1 it would bankrupt our state at the current cost. It cost them about $2 to make those pens and put the medicine in it and they're charging over $1,000. The markup is outrageous, but this is a supply and demand issue. So, I'm hopeful that who whatever the new administration, all the policy changes that are happening, one of the things hopefully that we'll see is better negotiation to get these prices to come down so we can make this medication available to more patients. Do I wish we lived in a world like 50 years ago when only 10% of people would need this medication to be healthier?

You know, there's so many things that feed into why this country is struggling so much with obesity in multiple other count, not just us. You know, we live in an obesogenic society. The most readily and cheap food available is the food that is trying to kill us, you know,

the heavily processed foods, you know, and so all of this is feeding into it. But just to demonize a patient and tell her it's her willpower,

Yeah. is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of medicine, which now with the obesity genes, all these other things, they're proving it's not willpower. No, it's not power. And I was taught in that generation of it's her fault.

She's just lazy until I believe that my whole life like, "Oh, I'm gaining weight. It's definitely my fault." You know, I've been tested for the obesity genes now and I actually have two of them. And I'm like, oh, you know, and your brain works differently. There's so much science.

The entire biological drive is working against you. Yeah. And it's really the rare person without cutting everything else in their life. How can you be a balanced human being and a mother and do carpool and do all the things and fight these two genes? Okay, this is big. I got to ask you this with all the studies on GLP1s because so many people now are, you know, saying, "Oh, I really really want to try to do, you know, Zepbound or Ompic or any of those those drugs out there for a lot of the studies on them. I've heard that we need to pause for a super brief break.

And now, more of this incredible conversation together. Okay, this is big. I got to ask you this with all the studies on GLP1s because so many people now are you know saying oh I really really want to try to do you know

zeppound or ompic or any of those those drugs out there for a lot of the studies on them I've heard that the a lot of the people studied were actually also on metformin when they got those results is that true and what

I'm not sure I haven't you know I'd have to ask my endocrine friends um metformin so when I talk to like my endocrine gurus

they say Metformin is a very poor man's GLP-1. That when you look at visceral fat loss, when you look at, you know, diabetic control, that GLP1s are far superior to metformin.

Do you prescribe both to your patients or you predominantly do GLP1s? Um, if somebody uh if somebody's doctor says no,

no. If somebody's like if they go to their doctor and say, "I'm really really interested in GLP1s." And they go, "Oh, you should just work out and eat better."

What? And then you turn around and tell them I'm doing that right and they say no you can't be therefore you wouldn't be obese then you need to find a new doctor

you need to find a new doctor and what are some of the resources that exist online because there's now through teleaalth and through other ways you can get prescriptions in other ways

Alexandra SOA has written an incredible book called the ozic revolution and it's not just about ozic but she goes through the history the causes of obesity And you know she has resources on how to help you find a clinician who's educated and she's abs she also goes through nutrition exercise you know she goes through her toolkit as well because it's not just take this medication woo go be thin and off you go. It is

really rewiring your brain right with this new tool it's a tool it's nothing more

than to help you kind of reconfigure your life so you live in a less obesogenic world. A lot of people worry about like oympic face or oympic is that simply just you've lost massive weight loss,

you've lost weight fast, right? And when you lose weight, the elasticity of the skin struggles to keep up and so we see more of the hanging skin and I've seen in some of my patients, you know, they're coming in complaining. And what we're hoping is that, you know, once your weight stabilizes, as long as you feed that collagen and, you know, nutrition and everything's on point, you're not malnourished, that the elasticity will kind of catch up and we won't see as much as the sag.

So, GLP1s don't change your face or your body. That's more the result of skin from weight loss. Okay? I think there's a misconception out there. They're like, "Wait, I don't want to get that. I don't want my face to change."

And then they're putting other things in to fill. And you know it is a little bit of a catch but you know when people we know from the gastric bypass patients who had massive weight loss quickly this is the exact same phenomena that was same thing

you know you talk about both with GLP1s the risk of losing muscle because if we're not eating enough we might not be eating enough protein we might not be lifting weights and you talk about how critical it is

prioritize your protein strong over skinny okay share all this with us you know I grew up in the 80s everything was about aerobics I was teaching step aerobics. I didn't pick up a weight, Jamie, until I and it was little tiny hand weights, right, for Zumba. I didn't even think about my muscle mass. I was always thinking about be thin, be thin, be thin. That was the whole reason I moved my body to work out was to be thin because thin was healthy, right? I had thin privilege. I wanted to hang on to it. Now, what I realized is that this whole generation was chipping away at their bone and muscle strength. Unless you were like a unicorn college athlete or something, you know, and that women when I put them on the body scanner and they're athletic and they're like really muscular and they've been told their whole life they were obese and overweight. They're balling crying in my office when I'm like, you're amazing. Oh

my god, look at all this muscle. They're like, I've always felt fat. Like, no, you're so healthy. So like helping people develop habits and it's a really a mind shift to get away from eating for strength, eating for strong, eating for your old lady body

rather than eating to have some random diet, you know, thin body that is cosmetically appealing to a certain percentage of the population is a really huge gift I am giving to my patients.

It's so good. And I know you've talked about this with younger women, but it's really all women. I mean, you know, so often I can think about the times in my life where I've been the thinnest. I've felt the worst. I have felt the wor and I've also felt the least confident. The least confident, too. I feel like the more we're focused on the wrong things, the more insecure we feel. You look at the data, it's like 91% of girls and women literally opt out of meaningful activities in their life when they're worried about how they look or they don't like how they look or and I just feel like we've bought into diet culture in the wrong way for so long. I love that you talk about how critical it is to focus on being strong over skinny and how it not only change it changes all parts of your physical and your emotional and mental health um and your joy. So is that what you focus on now in your life? So mostly when I do cardio, I

just throw on my weighted vest and I jump on the treadmill and I'll do a Zoom call or I'm just walking and reading or I'm, you know, doing internet stuff and I've turned my um treadmill at home into a walking desk. So that's my cardio or I'll go walk with my girlfriend. Tell us tell us about that. So when I was seeing all my, you know, I'm recommending earlier DEXA scans for my patients. And so I was looking to see what do we know works, what works for women who to avoid osteoporosis or to help with their osteoporosis. And I ran across two or three articles talking about using weighted vests on women in nursing homes and how they're seeing improvement in their bone and muscle strength, their balance, and decreased fragility. And I was like, what do these things look like? So I like go on Amazon. Yeah.

And find one. I order one. I start wearing it all around Galveastston and I start talking about it on the internet and then suddenly I become the queen of the weighted vest. You know, they even wrote about it in a newspaper article and all my friends have them. We see people on the seaw wall in Galveastston like hey you know we're walking with our weighted vest on but you know the body responds to resistance in a positive way and that weighted vest will put pressure on the axial skeleton and so what we worry about in osteoporosis is spinal fractures and hip fractures. So, we're putting the weight where we need it

to put that little extra stimulus to get stronger for the both the bones and the muscles. So, it's just a hack. It's such an easy hack that almost anybody can do. I love seeing you on Instagram with your weighted vest doing doing all your content.
