Filling in the Gaps:
GLP-1 in Perimenopause through a Functional Medicine Lens
GLP-1 receptor agonists are transforming the way we manage metabolic health — but perimenopausal women present unique challenges. From hormone shifts to autoimmune risk and GI side effects, this population requires more than a “one-size-fits-all” prescription.
I NEED THIS!
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
➤ Explain the mechanisms of GLP-1 receptor agonists and how perimenopausal hormone changes alter their efficacy and side effect profile.
➤ Identify common adverse effects in perimenopausal women (nausea, constipation, SBO, pancreatitis, hair loss, sarcopenia) and apply evidence-based management strategies.
➤ Interpret functional/ advanced metabolic labs to stratify risk and personalize care.
➤ Evaluate the intersection of GLP-1 use with autoimmune disease and MCAS, recognizing red flags and adjusting treatment accordingly.
➤ Design a comprehensive care plan that integrates GLP-1 pharmacotherapy with functional medicine interventions in gut health, hormone support, nutrition, and lifestyle.
➤ Collaborate effectively with registered dietitians and multidisciplinary providers to optimize outcomes for women in perimenopause.

Who You’re Learning From:
Stacy Marie Ronquillo MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, IFMCP
Hi, I’m Stacy Marie Ronquillo—double board-certified Family & Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, certified by The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), former ER lifer turned functional medicine provider, and founder of Remedy Functional Medicine.
After nearly two decades in conventional medicine, I saw firsthand how often midlife women were dismissed, misdiagnosed, or put on medications that didn’t truly address their symptoms. I knew there had to be a better way.
Through my functional medicine practice, I help women navigate perimenopause and menopause by looking at the full picture—hormones, gut health, metabolism, and stress—all connected.
But more than that, I created this course to clear up the confusion surrounding functional medicine. It’s not just about supplements. It’s not only for the wealthy. And it doesn’t mean throwing out everything you learned in your conventional medicine training.
This course is for providers like you—curious, grounded in science, and tired of saying “everything looks fine” when you know it isn’t.
I’ll show you how functional medicine can be practical, accessible, and clinically impactful—without the overwhelm.
