EP. 201: On this quick-and-dirty solo episode, I'm diving into a brand-new article just published in Diabetes Care (March 2025, Vol. 48):
"One Size Does Not Fit All: Understanding Microdosing Semaglutide for Diabetes and Multi-Dose Pens."
This opinion piece by respected endocrinologists signals a massive shift in the conversation—one I’ve been screaming from the rooftops for over a year. While I’m not claiming credit (ok maybe a little), I am thrilled to see microdosing GLP-1s being acknowledged by mainstream medicine… even if they’re still getting a lot of it, well, OFF.
Let’s be clear: microdosing was NEVER meant to be a weight loss strategy, even thought that’s what everyone seems to think it’s for. And if you’re NOT using these drugs without a full metabolic support plan—protein, lifting, hormones, insulin sensitivity—you’re setting yourself (or your patients) up to fail.
Topics Discussed:
- What the pen-click method is and why it's a game-changer
- Why splitting up a full dose is not microdosing (despite what TikTok tells you)
- The difference between low-dosing, standard dosing, and true microdosing
- Why microdosing isn’t a long-term solution for weight loss or type 2 diabetes
- How this concept can support tolerability, access, and personalized care
- Why most “microdosing” marketing is just sloppy semantics
- The real clinical rationale behind true microdosing
- How to use GLP-1s intelligently as part of a broader metabolic protocol
I break it all down in this episode, and if you want to go deeper, grab my free 4-part video series at drtyna.com/ozempicuncovered — it’ll walk you straight into the most comprehensive GLP-1 course available for clinicians and smart self-healers alike.
