Summary

On this week’s podcast, Morgan has a candid conversation about aging with Katy Whalen, co-founder and CEO of the interactive women’s telehealth community Joi Women’s Wellness. After a long battle with infertility that included fatigue and weight issues, Katy went on a healing journey using peptide and hormone therapy. Katy discusses the stigma and misinformation surrounding perimenopause and how testosterone and other supplements can be used to treat symptoms, along with Ozempic peptide treatments and compounded medications. Morgan and Katy also get real about the guilt that may surface when women use supplements or medications to help them lose weight and how to deal with that “cheating” feeling.
