The GLP-1 Truth Files
Everything midlife women need to know about weight-loss medications — modern science, Mother Nature, and honest perspective from the best.
Private Digital Premiere Screening
Tuesday 24th February 2026 19:30 UK time.
A one-night exclusive release.
The GLP-1 category is moving fast.
Clinics are prescribing.
Social media is amplifying.
Headlines are polarising.
And midlife women are often navigating powerful medications without joined-up, physiology-led support or clear perspective on what we know — and what we are still learning.
We wanted the most informed, clinically grounded and independent voice in this space. So we secured Dr Gordon.
Given her clinical commitments, we captured this conversation in advance — allowing us to go deeper, ask the questions that matter most, and ensure every insight was delivered with clarity and precision.
Now, we are releasing it as a private premiere to the MPOWDER community.
A Shared Viewing Experience.
On Tuesday 24th February at 19:30 UK time, all registered attendees will receive digital access to the masterclass.
Hundreds of women will press play at the same time.
Listening. Learning. Reflecting — together.
For the hour following release, the MPOWDER Health Concierge team will be present on Instagram (@mpowder.store), holding space for your reflections, questions, and observations via Direct Message — creating a shared moment of enquiry and insight.
You may also choose to watch privately, in your own time, and submit questions or reflections to healthconcierge@mpowder.store, where each message will be read and responded to with care.
This is not simply content to consume. It is an invitation to witness, to question, and to understand — alongside a community of women doing the same.
Thoughtful. Informed. Evidence-led.
Why This Conversation Matters.
GLP-1 medications are powerful. They are reshaping how medicine approaches obesity, metabolic disease and — potentially — aspects of cardiovascular and cognitive health.
But power without understanding creates confusion.
And medication is only one part of the picture.
Few discussions explain:
- Why midlife physiology fundamentally changes weight regulation
- How hormonal shifts influence insulin sensitivity, fat distribution, muscle preservation and inflammation
- Why weight is a complex metabolic condition — not a failure of willpower
- What happens when GLP-1 therapy intersects with HRT
- What weight loss medications are designed to treat — and what they are not
- What we know — and what is still emerging — about possible wider impact and potential of GLP1s
- Why muscle, bone and metabolic resilience must be protected alongside weight loss
- What the science really says about discontinuation and long-term outcomes
Midlife bodies are not generic bodies - They require precision
- This masterclass is not about persuading women to take medication.
It is about restoring agency for our health and our bodies in a rapidly commercialising space - No hype
- No shame
- No sales agenda.
Just physiology, evidence and clarity.
What You’ll Learn.
- Why midlife weight gain is biologically driven
- Why traditional dieting strategies often fail after 40
- How weight-loss medications work at a metabolic level
- Specific considerations for perimenopause and menopause
- Their potential impact beyond weight loss — what we know, and what we are still learning
- The muscle preservation question — and why lean mass is central to long-term resilience
- How to stay metabolically well on GLP-1 medication
- What to consider when navigating GLP-1 alongside HRT
- Common side effects and why discontinuation rates are high
- Where current care pathways are falling short — and what truly joined-up care should look like
- How to remain informed in a rapidly commercialising space.
About Dr. Michelle Gordon
Dr. Michelle Gordon, DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) is triple board-certified in Surgery, Obesity Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, with advanced expertise in metabolic disease and the clinical application of GLP-1 therapies. Her work sits at the intersection of hormones, midlife physiology, inflammation and long-term metabolic resilience — bringing clinical clarity to one of the fastest-growing and most commercially complex areas of modern medicine. Trained in surgical precision and grounded in evidence-based practice, she is known for challenging oversimplified narratives around weight and for helping women understand the physiology behind their symptoms. Dr. Gordon runs a private medical practice in the United States, independent of insurance systems, where she delivers comprehensive, personalised care.
