How I Used Low-dose GLP-1 For My Menopause Inflammation

Written By Jessica Brown

Menopause isn’t just hot flashes—it’s often a storm of inflammation that feels never-ending. In my latest video, I share how I used low-dose GLP‑1 medication to ease the physical and emotional chaos that came with perimenopause. Here's the story, straight from my experience, crafted into a blog-ready post:

💡 Why I Turned to Low‑Dose GLP‑1

  • Traditional hormone & supplement fixes weren’t enough – I tried herbal blends, anti-inflammatory foods, and stress work, but inflammation still ruled my days.

  • GLP‑1 isn’t just for weight loss – These meds help regulate immune response and calm systemic inflammation, making them ideal for hormone-related flare-ups.

  • I chose a gentle approach – No mega dose. Just enough to support my body without causing overwhelm.

What Changed After a Few Weeks

  1. Inflammation and discomfort took a backseat.
    Swollen joints and mysterious aches? They eased. I woke up feeling less puffy and more like my old self.

  2. Mood and mindset smoothed out.
    The constant irritability and brain fog lifted. My mind felt quieter, less riled up by hormonal shifts.

  3. Energy levels stabilized.
    I had steady, calm energy, without the peaks and troughs that made my days feel unpredictable.

  4. Health habits felt easier to hold.
    Without the emotional rollercoaster and inflammation, I naturally drifted toward better food, sleep, and self-care, without forcing it.

Why Microdosing Was the Key

  • Minimal side effects – Mild digestion changes at first, but they faded quickly.

  • Body-friendly adjustments – It wasn’t about pushing hard - it was about supporting my system.

  • Ideal for peri-menopause symptoms – If you're battling hormonal shifts, inflammation, mood swings, fatigue, or brain fog, you may not need a full-dose prescription to feel better.

Is This Right for You?

If you're in perimenopause or menopause and experiencing:

  • Persistent inflammation

  • Mood instability or anxiety

  • Unrelenting fatigue

  • Brain fog that won’t clear

…then a conversation with your doctor about low-dose GLP‑1 might be a game-changer—especially when combined with nourishing foods, gut support, nervous system care, and self-kindness.

Takeaway

Low-dose GLP‑1 wasn’t a shortcut—it was a gateway. It didn’t "fix" menopause, but it created the space for real healing to begin. By easing the inflammation, it gave me back clarity, calm, and energy, and guided me gently back to my best self.
