In this episode, Tina is joined by fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Margaret Powell, to explore microdosing GLP-1s and how it may support body composition and overall health (not just a lower number on the scale). Rather than relying on higher doses for rapid weight loss, they break down how a more strategic, lower-dose approach may help support appetite regulation, muscle retention, and metabolic health, while potentially minimizing some of the common side effects seen with standard dosing.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- How stress impacts blood sugar, inflammation, and fat gain

- The right way to use GLPs so you don’t wreck your metabolism

- Why microdosing peptides and going slow leads to better results

- How reverse dieting (eating more) helped her finally lose 20 pounds

- The biggest mistake she made with training and what finally worked

- How a constant “go, go, go” lifestyle was keeping her inflamed

- Her exact microdosing protocol for improving her body composition

About Margaret Powell, FDN-P:

Margaret is the Founder of Fueled & Free Nutrition, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Holistic Health Coach since 2019, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and owner of an integrative virtual wellness clinic that has helped hundreds of women on their journey to optimal health.

She knows from her own personal health journey that it’s possible to reclaim her body after years of struggling. Her health journey led her to become the practitioner that she is today — She created the programs that she wish she had 10 years ago when she struggled mentally and physically with her own chronic digestive and hormonal symptoms.

She was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn’t take the time to understand the “why” behind her symptoms. When she discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind her struggles, everything changed.
