Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn

104: Understanding Hormones, Metabolism & Modern Medicine with Dr. Tyna Moore


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn sits down with Dr. Tyna Moore for a bold and unfiltered conversation about hormones, metabolism, and the urgent need to rethink modern medicine.

Together, they share their personal journeys with plant-based nutrition, the breakdown of conventional medical thinking, and the real-world struggles patients face when trying to get holistic, informed care. Dr. Tyna brings her no-nonsense approach to key topics like GLP-1 medications, peptide therapy, hormone balance, and the power of physiologic (vs. high-dose) dosing.

From the limitations of mammograms to the influence of pharmaceutical incentives, this episode explores why critical thinking, muscle mass, and true patient education are the future of healing. If you’ve ever felt disempowered by a diagnosis—or wondered if there’s more to your care—this conversation is your blueprint for reclaiming your health.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Why microdosing GLP-1s may be a safer, smarter option
  • How personal nutrition journeys shaped Dr. Jenn and Dr. Tyna's views
  • The overlooked power of muscle, metabolism, and hormonal balance
  • How pharmaceutical and insurance incentives influence care
  • Why informed consent is crucial—and often missing
  • What peptides offer in the evolving landscape of holistic health
  • Why childhood obesity demands a multi-pronged, educational approach
  • How to identify truly hormone-literate, patient-centered providers
  • What a new model of medicine could look like—and how to get there
