We thought we knew everything about GLP-1s like Ozempic, but we got it wrong. Dr. Tyna Moore reveals what’s actually right about these weight loss drugs, microdosing, and metabolic health.
GLP-1 medications have completely transformed how we treat obesity and metabolic disease. But as their popularity has exploded, so have the rumors and misconceptions. Are they really causing severe muscle and bone loss? What actually happens to your metabolism when you stop taking them? And is the standard pharmaceutical dose doing more harm than good for the average person?
In this episode, I reconnect with regenerative medicine expert Dr. Tyna Moore to revisit our viral conversation from two years ago and uncover the truth. We explore the massive difference between standard dosing and microdosing, how GLP-1s might actually protect muscle when used correctly, and their surprising off-label benefits for addiction, immune system regulation, and fertility.
A lower number on the scale isn’t the same as better health. Ultimately, how we use these powerful tools—from mandatory strength training and high-protein nutrition to highly personalized dosing—matters just as much as using them at all.
