🎙️ In this episode of the Valeo Health Podcast, we sit down with functional health specialist Jelena Petelinkar — a practitioner with over 14 years of experience in root-cause, women’s health, and metabolic support.
Together, we explore the real science behind GLP-1 medications — from how they affect your gut, brain, hormones, and metabolism, to what most people get wrong when they take them without proper supervision. 🔍 In this episode, we cover:
What GLP-1 really does in the body (gut, brain & satiety)
Why muscle loss and nutrient intake matter during weight loss
The importance of blood testing before, during, and after GLP-1
Hormonal shifts, methylation genes & folate misconceptions in fertility
Why women need personalized care, not generic protocols
