Does Ozempic affect menopause?
For women who are going through perimenopause or menopause, GLP-1 drugs might be helpful. During menopause, women often become more insulin resistant, as estrogen levels lower and a pituitary hormone called FSH rises, which can also lead to weight gain. “Twenty percent of women gain about 10 pounds or more during their menopause transition,” says obstetrician, gynecologist, and certified menopause practitioner Alicia Robbins, MD. These anti-diabetic drugs can help with the hormonal changes and weight. “Estrogen is really important for where you distribute your fat. When you start to lose estrogen and go into perimenopause in your 40s, you end becoming more insulin resistant,” Robbin says.
The Best Cooling Sheets for Menopause
“The severity of hot flashes really varies from woman to woman—for some women, they can be very debilitating,” Alicia Robbins, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn and North American Menopause Society-certified practitioner tells Allure. “Women with more severe hot flashes have higher rates of cardiovascular disease because every time a woman has a hot flash, her blood pressure and heart rate increase. When this persistently happens, it can actually increase one's risk of cardiovascular disease.” Dr. Robbins notes there are hormonal and non-hormonal interventions that can make life more comfortable—and safer—during menopause, including a set of the best cooling sheets (and pajamas, even).
