Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women

122: Dr. Tyna, ND, DC: GLP-1, Muscle, and the Real Drivers of Midlife Weight Gain

Episode Summary

Midlife weight gain, burnout, and metabolic changes often get mislabeled as willpower issues. This episode challenges the oversimplified weight loss narrative and unpacks why many women feel blindsided by changes even when their habits stay solid. We dive deeper into this in the Broads episode with Dr. Tyna Moore. We also chat about why GLP-1 was never meant to be a vanity weight loss tool, why microdosing doesn’t mean what most people think it means, and the real risks of frailty and why strength equals long-term freedom. Dr. Tyna Moore is a Licensed Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractor with over 30 years in the medical field, specializing in holistic regenerative and metabolic medicine. She earned her degrees from the National College of Natural Medicine and the University of Western States Chiropractic College. Dr. Tyna is also the host of The Dr. Tyna Show and an international speaker.
