Like most things in life, when it comes to optimizing metabolic
health, a nuanced perspective can help. Rather than viewing it as a
black-and-white issue, we can take into consideration the
big-picture social context we’re facing that encourages
ultra-processed foods, obesity, and lifelong medication as well as
the micro-level of what people are experiencing as individuals and
understanding how to help them when all else fails. Today I’m
thrilled to sit down with Dr. Tyna Moore and Calley Means for a
grounded discussion that explores both sides of the spectrum, and
everything in between.  In this episode, we discuss: The
controversial discussion of GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, weighing
the pros and cons of these new drugs in treating obesity and
metabolic crises (3:34) Challenging the notion of treating obesity
with drugs like Ozempic (10:35) An unsettling revelation about the
push for using Ozempic in children (12:04) Digging deeper into
GLP-1 research and some of the benefits (32:51) Why are children
being born metabolically challenged? (41:11) Dr. Moore’s approach
to using peptides with her patients and for her own crippling pain,
and what they’ve seen (45:19) How our current healthcare system
lacks policies and support for behavior change (1:27) While there
are always differing views, we know for sure that our food and drug
policies aren’t serving the best interests of creating sustainable,
empowered health for the masses. I hope you’ll tune in to hear more
from this comprehensive and lively discussion.  This episode
