I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Tyna Moore today. She is a naturopathic physician and chiropractor, host of the Dr. Tyna podcast, a best-selling author, and an international speaker who offers a unique perspective for those seeking a stronger foundation for their health and well-being. 

Recent statistics indicate that approximately 13% of Americans have used GLP-1 agonists, a class of drugs primarily prescribed for weight loss or metabolic health issues. According to a KFF health tracking poll, over 15 million people were prescribed GLP-1 drugs as of May 2024, and a Truvada report revealed that more than a million patients used those medications between January 2018 and September 2023. 

Dr. Tyna thinks outside of the traditional media narrative regarding GLP-1 drugs and has been very successful in using them with her patients. In our discussion today, we explore the underlying reasons for the metabolic health crisis in our country, looking at sarcopenic obesity, why we are malnourished yet over-fed, and the impact of a sedentary lifestyle. We also dive into GLP-1 drugs, discussing their origin and their neurologic benefits, debunking the myths surrounding them, and examining their use during perimenopause and menopause. 

Stay tuned for today’s enlightening discussion with Dr. Tyna Moore on these incredible new weight-loss drugs and their application.
