Peptides and Weight Loss

Peptides like GLP-1 are creating quite the buzz lately, especially when it comes to weight loss and metabolic health. So, I brought in Dr. Tyna Moore—licensed Naturopathic Physician, Chiropractor, and all-around expert in holistic regenerative medicine—to break it all down. With nearly 30 years of experience, she knows how to blend cutting-edge science with practical, everyday solutions. We talked about what GLP-1 does in your body, how it connects to weight loss, and why personalized approaches make all the difference. Trust me, her expertise will leave you rethinking what you know about health and healing.


We also got into the natural side of things—simple ways to boost your body’s GLP-1 levels without needing a prescription. Plus, Dr. Tyna shares her no-nonsense take on the controversies swirling around GLP-1s in the weight loss world. It’s refreshing to hear someone cut through the noise and get real about what works. Whether you’re curious about peptide therapy or just want practical tips for better health, this episode is packed with nuggets you can actually use.

Memorable Quotes:


"Focus on getting strong. Don't worry about the weight. Focus on muscle, focus on strength. Get your metabolic health in order. Really, the whole foundation of everything I speak from is about metabolic health." [00:05:06] – Dr. Tyna Moore


"It's the maintaining the weight. It's much, much harder because literally, your body is fighting against you in a myriad of ways in that case. That's a real pickle, and this is where I think GLP-1s are an incredible tool and maybe necessary long-term." [00:34:15] – Dr. Tyna Moore
