In this special replay episode of 1,000 Waking Minutes, Dr. Wendy Bazilian joins Jenny Hutt on the Just Jenny podcast for a real, energizing, and thoughtful conversation about midlife, metabolism, hormones, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro, and what it truly means to feel good in your body.
Originally recorded for Jenny’s “Weight Wednesday” series, the recent conversation explores the evolving ways we think about weight, wellness, and identity in the shifting seasons of life. From the emotional complexity of body changes to the science of food, cravings, muscle, and movement—it’s an unfiltered, honest exchange between two women with decades of lived and professional experience (and a shared Tufts University connection).
Whether you’re navigating midlife, feeling overwhelmed by wellness headlines, curious about medication, or looking for a grounded perspective on your health—this conversation brings science, strategy, and self-compassion together.
It’s exactly the kind of episode that belongs here on 1,000 Waking Minutes: real life, lived well.
We Discuss:
(8:21) The public scrutiny around how people lose weight—and why it’s no one-size-fits-all
(10:50) GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro—how they help, how they don’t, and what still matters most
(16:55) “Resizing” vs. 'losing' weight and why words matter when it comes to health
(20:57) A superfood brownie debate, and the role of food joy
(31:43) The role of nutrition during weight loss, especially with medication support
(37:37) A refreshing take on movement and exercise: finding what you’re “least allergic to”
(42:05) Midlife metabolism shifts, cravings, and hormonal realities
(36:07) The value of humor, honesty, and hope in navigating body changes and self-talk
