GLP-1 medications have transformed weight loss and metabolic health for millions of women. They can be incredibly effective at helping reduce body weight and improving metabolic function.
But they don't address the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause.
As a physician with training in obesity medicine and women's health, I often see women losing weight on GLP-1s but still struggling with low energy, maintaining muscle, and other symptoms of hormonal changes.
For many women, the missing piece isn't another weight loss medication. It's addressing the hormonal changes that GLP-1s weren't designed to treat.
That's where FountainHRT comes in.
Why Women on GLP-1s May Also Consider HRT
Help Preserve Lean Muscle - Maintaining muscle becomes more challenging as estrogen declines. Preserving lean muscle is an important part of supporting long-term metabolic health, strength, and healthy aging, especially during weight loss.
Support Metabolic Health - GLP-1 medications support metabolic health through one pathway. HRT addresses hormonal deficiencies through another. For appropriate candidates, these therapies can work alongside one another by addressing different aspects of overall health.
Treat Menopause Symptoms - Weight loss medications don't replace declining estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. HRT is designed to help restore hormone levels in women who are appropriate candidates, helping address symptoms related to hormonal changes rather than weight alone.
Why I Recommend FountainHRT
Not all hormone therapy providers take the same approach.
FountainHRT stands out because treatment is built around your individual needs. Depending on your symptoms, medical history, and provider evaluation, your treatment may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a personalized combination of these hormones.
Unlike many HRT providers that primarily focus on estrogen and progesterone, Fountain also offers testosterone therapy for eligible women. This gives your clinician more treatment options to create a plan tailored specifically to you, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, health history, and goals before recommending treatment. If prescribed, your plan is refined through ongoing video follow-up appointments to help ensure your treatment continues to meet your needs over time.
Fountain also makes expert hormone care simple and convenient.

If You're Already Taking a GLP-1, Don't Overlook Your Hormones
GLP-1 medications can be an important part of improving your health, but they don't address the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause.
If you're losing weight but still struggling with symptoms related to changing hormones, personalized hormone therapy may be another important step to feeling your best.
Take FountainHRT's 5-minute online quiz to see if you're an appropriate candidate for personalized hormone therapy. It could be the first step toward a treatment plan that's designed specifically for you.
