Life With Danni Duncan

Who should avoid Ozempic? Who is Ozempic for? What are the side effects no one is talking about?

Today’s episode is Part 2 of my interview with Amelia Phillips, a nutritionist, exercise scientist and co-founder of Vitality 360, to help us unpack Ozempic, GLP-1 medications and what women in midlife really need to know before considering them.

In Part 1 we spoke about what actually changes in perimenopause, why weight can feel harder to shift, how much of it is hormones versus lifestyle, fasting, protein, and the very inconvenient truth that yes… calories still matter.

BUT we ran out of time right as we were about to get into the stuff everyone has questions about.

So today we’re talking about Ozempic, GLP-1 medications, healthy fats, longevity, and what a 3-step plan could look like if you’re a woman in midlife who wants to lose weight without losing your mind.

We recorded this from a bath in Bali… 

Em and I have just wrapped my 8th retreat and are equal parts cooked, sweaty and ready to unpack everything that happened. What started as chaos (and a few random tangents) turned into some pretty honest chats about why people hold themselves back, why everything feels so hard, and what needs to change so that people can start being happy again.

Also… if you’ve ever been personally victimised by chocolate, other people’s opinions, or Bali humidity… you’ll feel seen.

I’ve also already locked in the next two retreats, so if you’re sitting there thinking “I need something like this”... come. 2026 Byron Bay Retreat is here, 2027 Bali Retreat is here.

I got a phone call a few weeks ago and as someone who used to work in a doctors clinic - it’s never a good sign to get a phone call before the weekend.

Genuinely - I was watching my kids and thinking I wouldn’t see them grow up.

Does a 7 time Olympian have their life and motherhood together?

This is one of the first questions I asked, Libby Trickett. I’m sure she needs no explanation but just in case - Libby is an ex competitive swimmer who was a gold medalist in not one but THREE Olympics, and held the world record for the 100m free style. 

We’re chatting about everything, including why being an Olympian does not mean you have your life together, what it’s like going from being the best in the world, to living a normal life, and what she’s seeing happening too often with kids and sport right now (this part’s really interesting).

We chat about:

> “What did we even do before kids?” because somehow there was SO much time and now there’s none

> Libby’s morning routine with 5 kids

> Getting five kids out the door in the morning (and how that that alone feels like a huge win)

> The devastating race Libby didn’t watch for 15 years… and what happened when she finally did

> The shift in your 40s where you genuinely don’t give a f about what other people think of you 

> That feeling of “am I even doing a good job?” (and why it doesn’t just go away)

> Why we’re seeing less “body trust” in women + how that all links back to kids not moving as much

… and SO much more
