How do weight management and peptide therapies fit into perimenopause care?

Weight changes during perimenopause are often driven by hormonal fluctuations, increased insulin resistance, changes in cortisol and stress response, and loss of muscle mass rather than lifestyle alone. For many women, traditional diet and exercise strategies become less effective during this transition.

Weight management and peptide therapies are used to address these underlying drivers. This may include medical weight management strategies, GLP therapies when appropriate, and targeted peptides to support fat loss, muscle preservation, appetite regulation, sleep quality, energy levels, and metabolic stability.

At Vital Living Healthcare, these therapies are integrated thoughtfully into a broader perimenopause care plan, ensuring weight and metabolic support aligns with hormone balance, lifestyle factors, and long term health goals rather than focusing on weight alone.
