Women’s Health: Dr. Jagriti Upadhyay What Women Must Know about GLP-1s

“GLP-1 medications are not a shortcut—they are an assistant. Rather than viewing GLP-1 medications as a short-term solution, I encourage patients to see them as one tool within a comprehensive, long-term approach to metabolic health.” Meet today’s Woman Dreamer, Dr. Jagriti Upadhyay, an endocrinologist at Lahey with expertise in obesity medicine and medical weight management, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and reproductive endocrinology. In this interview, Dr. Upadhyay breaks down some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding GLP-1 medications, what women should know about weight regain after stopping treatment, and how hormones, stress, sleep, and lifestyle can impact weight and insulin resistance. Importantly, she also shares her expertise on weight loss and management beyond GLP-1s and reflects on her own approach to wellness and why she believes in “consistency over perfection.” A must-read for all women, we are excited to share Dr. Upadhyay’s insights as part of our Women’s Health series at Women Who Win!
