Summary

EP. 226: Grab my FREE 4 Part Video Series: GLP1s Uncovered: https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered In this episode, I’m getting real with you because I’m seeing way too many people getting caught up in peptide hype and misinformation, and it’s honestly potentially dangerous. From misunderstanding microdosing GLP-1s to following peptide advice from influencers who have zero medical background, the whole conversation around peptides and weight loss has been twisted into a craze at this point. I want to break down what actually matters for your health, what’s worth your time, and what’s just noise. Topics Discussed: → What are the risks of following influencer health advice? → How can I avoid scams and unsafe peptide use? → What is the truth about GLP-1 microdosing? → How peptides are NOT hormones and don’t replace them.→ Why nutrition, exercise and foundations matter more than hype Sponsored By: → Manukora | Head to manukora.com/DRTYNA to save up to 31% & $25 worth of free gifts in the Starter Kit, which comes with an MGO 850+ Manuka Honey jar. → Puori | Go to Puori.com/drtyna and use code DRTYNA to get 20% off → LMNT | Get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT’s most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at drinkLMNT.com/drtyna. → Liver Love | Go to https://store.drtyna.com/products/liverlove Use code LIVER20 for 20% off On This Episode We Cover: → 00:00:00 - Introduction → 00:01:05 - Regenerative medicine background → 00:07:23 - Health influencers & online discourse → 00:16:00 - Microdosing Is A Scam → 00:20:25 - “Bonking” & the struggles of plateauing → 00:24:20 - Dangers of incorrect dosing → 00:28:29 - Influencer scams & medical malpractice → 00:33:57 - Patient intake → 00:36:28 - Resources → 00:38:06 - GLP1s, nutrition, & exercise → 00:42:52 - Grey market peptides → 00:46:16 - Integrative health & HRT → 00:48:59 - The gym & biochemical reactions Show Links: → Pain Free & Strong (book) → Metabolic Revamp Toolkit → Podcast Search → Strength Corner Further Listening: → EP. 221 | The GLP-1 Microdosing Lie: It's NOT a Weight Loss Strategy | Solo → EP. 214 | Histamine Hijack: What Every Woman Needs To Know | Solo Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for informational purposes only.

0:00.0	On this episode of the Dr. Tina show, we're going to have to have a talk because I am seeing an absolute disaster unfold,
0:08.9	and I want to make sure that I at least try to intervene before the train wrecks completely.
0:15.8	Here's the thing. All the peptides you guys are being sold by the pro science guys online, all the hormonal advice that's being slung around, all the magical GLP1 microdosing conversation that has gotten completely twisted and bastardized.
0:30.9	And my original messaging has been completely destroyed and sold to some kind of weird vanity weight loss situation.
0:40.7	None of it is worth a damn if you're not going to the gym and eating nutritionally dense food and doing all the things,
0:49.0	as I call it. So on this episode, we're going to break down what all the things means. So let's jump in.
0:55.5	You are tuned into the Dr. Tina show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit Dr.tina.com.
1:04.7	Okay, so how do I know what I'm talking about? Why should you listen to me? My background is in
1:09.5	regenerative medicine. I've been in regenerative medicine i've been doing
1:11.1	regenerative medicine since i've been involved in it and engrossed in it since the 90s in 1995
1:18.3	i got my undergrad in biology from university of Oregon i ended up moving back home and getting a job
1:25.7	as a receptionist for dr. Rick Marinelli.
1:27.7	Dr. Rick Marinelli was a proletarapist. He did prolotherapy. I'll explain what that is in a minute.
1:33.2	He was also an acupuncturist, Chinese medicine, naturopathic doctor, full-on Jedi. This guy was amazing.
1:39.6	He was doing IVs back in the 90s long before anybody was setting up these ivy drip stores, right?
1:48.6	So all this stuff is new again. And I've been in this world forever. I was his receptionist for
1:55.7	years. I ended up going to school. I ended up getting both my licenses, my naturopathic
2:00.0	license, my chiropractic license. And for those listening who don't think naturopaths are worth a damn, you're confused by the fake NDs out there. There's several fake NDs out there on the scene. They have big followings. They call themselves doctor. They put NDF to their name. They are not doctors. They went through some kind of online health coaching program. I did a whole podcast episode about it. You can go back and listen to that. A lot of the big ones that you guys trust and
2:22.0	love, maybe not real. There's a lot of made-up board certifications. There's a lot of nonsense going
2:28.1	around. So anyway, I actually have a medical license and I can stick four inch needles into people's
2:33.5	spines and I can prescribe virtually inch needles into people's spines and I can
2:34.4	prescribe virtually everything. There's a few limitations on my formulary, but otherwise I've been
