Elizabeth welcomes Dr. Tyna Moore for a straight-shooting conversation on one of the most talked-about topics in wellness right now: GLP-1s. A naturopathic physician, podcast host, and expert in regenerative medicine, Dr. Moore has been at the forefront of the metabolic health conversation for years, and she’s not afraid to challenge the hype.

In their chat, Elizabeth and Dr. Moore get into what GLP-1s actually do in the body beyond weight loss, from regulating blood sugar to calming inflammation and supporting brain health. They unpack the potential of microdosing peptides as a tool, not a quick fix, and talk through the lifestyle habits that make or break your results. They also explore the limitations and risks of using GLP-1s without context, and the role of strength training, sleep, and upping your protein intake in hormone health.
