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.

I am 75 years old and went for my first blood test of my life. My last physical was in 1969. The doctor asked if I smoked. That's it. Didn't ask what I ate, how I slept or if I exercise. I told her I fast and she said "Why would you fast?". No paperwork for the blood test. Just a call saying my cholesterol and LDL are a bit high. It was a joke. Guess I'll wait another 55 years for my next physical.

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Regular mds are utterly useless. Going for a yearly “ checkup” frankly is a total waste. They test almost nothing. Best to just get your own blood test the. Read it or hire a real knowledgeable person to read it. My wife gets a blood test with 200 markers read by a functional medicine doc. Md said he didn’t know 90% of what the tests meant. That said it all. Func doc caught stuff regular md never knew about.

[@dr.samierasadoonalhassani2669]

Why did you go? Once 93 years old lady came for check up first time , healthy living with her brother, the young primary care doctor told her please go , don’t come back as your health will be ruined, please don’t tell any body I told so . She asked why? He told her will lose my job as my mother medical doctor did ,asked her to resign. True story.

WHY IS NOBODY ASKING THIS QUESTION: If Ozempic slows gastric emptying to such an extent that food is sometimes still in the stomach days later, is it even physically POSSIBLE for a patient to digest the required amount of protein in a day to avoid muscle loss? Everyone keeps saying Ozempic is safe so long as you exercise and eat enough protein, without asking if their bodies can even digest that amount of protein while on the drug.

[@LeahBrooksJeremiahGardens]

Interesting question! I had to think a bit on this, and tho I'm no expert, in general, people are eating a lot less on these meds, so the total amount of food is much less. Many people are eating less carbs, since they aren't as appealing while on Ozempic.

As a school lunch lady I know first hand how poorly we nourish kids at school. Having to follow the government food guidelines, which require grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, milk. Believe me, the meat is minimal and usually contains sauces and gravies, which stretch the amount and add sugar and seed oils. The fruit is canned also containing sugar. The breads , which we do make fresh each day, yet made with shortening, sugar and flour. Breads also often times are bread sticks covered with margarine and spices. Vegetables are canned ( often sweetened) or frozen to which is added margarine and salt. Then there’s dessert which we usually make from scratch, but again more shortening, sugar and if it has fruit it’s sweetened. Beverages served are milk, white and chocolate ( and of course most children choose chocolate MORE sugar) and fruit juices ( MORE SUGAR). The meals are extremely high in carbohydrates! Extremely high in sugar! It fills their belly’s with basically no good nutritional value at all!! It breaks my heart

I get where Calley is coming from but i had the same idealism in nutrition until I was the one needing to lose weight. I was raised on all Whole Foods with minimal processed food and then after having my two kids I blew up and weighed more than when I was pregnant. Healthy foods, fasting, and all the usual options didn’t lift the weight. Then the disappointment makes you want to eat whatever you like if it doesn’t change how you feel and look.

[@sugartreatments]

It’s not about them. A regular person can be develop self awareness about their health. If you are counting on doctor to tell you what is wrong you will most likely be suffering a long time until you find the one who actually cares. You are responsible for your health. You can do better by picking and choosing your food. By making sometime to walk or exercise. By practice proper breathing. It is not their job to teach you that. Are they responsible for not caring and thinking of the money? Absolutely, but at the end of the day, you are responsible for YOURself. If you are waiting for them to say «change your life still » when you know you should, you are the one responsible, sorry. It’s easy to put the blame on others and trust me I hate doctors and went through experiences, but I also know that no one is responsible for me, how I feel, what I do, how I choose to react to things. Because most people don’t care about anyone else, it’s best to care for yourself and that means taking accountability for yourself.

You know what people who have never been obese miss? They miss it every. Single. Time. It's not about eating less and moving more. It's about the food noise experienced by people with obesity. They also miss the chronic feeling of hunger and the inability to feel satiated. I just started taking Wegovy and overnight that all stopped. My self-control, my motivation, my drive did not change. I am the same person. I just don't wake up thinking about food. I don't feel constant hunger. I don't feel the need to keep eating after I know I've eaten enough. If I never lost another pound I would keep using Wegovy to just have the peace in my own mind. All of the sudden I am enjoying healthier eating and exercising. All of the sudden I am able to "eat less and move more" without feeling deprived. This is a turning point in obesity treatment. I agree that our food environment is toxic. If 30% of the population suddenly were eating smaller portions and eating healthier it would change our whole economy and ultimately our food environment. I am team semaglutide for sure. It may not work for everyone but it will change obesity treatment, and how we understand obesity and that is a very good thing.

I absolutely agree when you start gaining weight the your health can start spiraling downhill causing weight in the midsection causing heart attacks high blood pressure medication and so forth.if you're able to lose weight you could drop medications be more productive and be more active I don't know what the long-term side effects of this medication is but I think it can work wonders for a lot of people not everybody's overweight issues can be fixed I believe .I don't believe in one size shoe fits everybody.I'm overweight and in an elderly woman and I don't eat no snack food and eat only maybe one meal a day and therefore I store fat it's what I've been told what I do eat I store because if your body is not used to getting food they say it stores it but if that was the case my body should be used to it because they would say well I'm not going to get fed again so I'm going to hold on to this but after years and years of eating a approximately 1 to 2 ml a day if that true how do you still gain weight and that was my primary goal was not to spiral downhill and I see a lot of that happening once you gain weight you have health issues and then you're not able to be active can you develop high blood pressure can can steam from being overweight midsection weight can they say can cause heart issues and so on.. I have seen people that take this and they don't exercise and they lose weight I did not know it was a lifetime medicine and I'm curious about the future side effects because sometimes it takes years for a new things come out about medications but I think it would be a plus for lots of people there's women with in their 50s or 60s that lost hormones deficient their body doesn't lose weight as fast as a man that's been proven that women that's never been overweight become overweight at that age it's because we have deficiencies we start losing things in our body we have a lot of deficiencies in our food we need minerals we need vitamins hormones and a lot of people don't want to do hormone replacement it's been a study that can cause cancer and then I read there was a study after that that said it did not I'm looking into all that that's why this got my attention I feel like a lot of women are misdiagnosed untreated with antidepressant pills and I think that's the answer for everything once they get into these changes in their body I don't really see an expanded help for HRT because you know I don't think there's a lot of women that cared for it because of cancer causing issues about the research that I read that it they done another research after that that said that it did not that that was proven not to be quite so but I don't know how true that is but how it could be beneficial because most of the American people are overweight and is our food is it regulated like the people in the other countries? their diet is different and they are skinny .. I can see where a lot of women would turn to this in a crisis where they gain weight, they're just basically handed anti depressant and then you have to go through how many to the right one? trial situation a hit or miss you have to try different ones well who wants their brain chemistry messed with that much

[@dr.peterfischer1322]

You should know by when you are an athlete that the body adapt to situations. Micro dosing is still a pharma intervention with side effects. The metabolism change and adapts, so do your hormones. That is one of the reasons why you have trouble with the weight management. Yes the food industry is lying. But with the right food choice and possibly a metabolic rest, hormone adjustment, training adjustment the weight management is better to handle. I say all that without knowing you, because everyone is individual, but there a some common nominator. Ans in my experience especially athletes doing those mistakes, by not considering the adaptation. I'm 65 and in a shape like in my 30ies and see people every day with problems you describe. No one of them need ozemspic. Because no one want to die because of the side effects.

@@Mona-Faye It can not be and is not micro dose, it is low dose. No one knows the long term side effects of low dose. Yes any effect or side effect is dose dependent. Thats how the body is working. But again: the question is always: why is the body not producing or working that way. That has to be addressed. Just to give the substance/ pharmaceutical doesn't solve the problem and we can not call it healing. Just because only the body can heal them self. It's about the WHY and not to stop when an intervention shows an effect.

I have never commented on a podcast but I want to thank you for this. I am a 50 yr old female who had a normal high BMI at 24 and couldn’t find a functional doctor for insulin resistance and brain fog. I went to a medispa for bioidentical hormones and the doctor there recognized my metabolic disarray. I already eat reasonably clean but she convinced me to try semaglutide to help with the insulin resistance and high ldl and bp. I did drop some weight but very slowly and took lower doses to help with the inflammation. She also put me on testosterone cream but my world changed. I can think clearly and I have maintained my muscle mass. There is definitely a population of people perhaps like me this can help and I haven’t heard anyone talk about this. The sad thing is the absorbent cost that stretches my budget but I don’t plan to be on for life but to try to see how I can manage how I feel. My wish was there were more cost effective ways to help the population and more functional physicians out there to help. My Medispa doctor is wonderful but she doesn’t do what you do.

It didn’t work long term as it was too hard and too slow. Know what worked for me in my 60s? Intermittent fasting with no prescriptive diet. Lost 40 lbs, felt easy, kept it mostly off for 3+ years, helped to “unspoil” appetite. Now I’m in early stage of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, trying to reverse this with lifestyle before turning to meds-wish me luck.

You can actually reverse any condition and any "disease" using these books. Good luck to you! Intermittent fasting is dangerous because it makes your body run on adrenaline which feeds viruses like Epstein Barr which then drill into your thyroid and give you a thyroid condition

They need to get to a certain place to reduce them and hopefully eliminate them. I reduced one drug down to 25% and eliminated two as I learned things (mostly from KZbin and not from doctors-with one notable exception) like resistance training while I have impaired mobility, fermented foods to heal my gut and to change my sugar addiction-because it is an addiction, foods that heal inflammation, how important things like nitric oxide are and why-it is a process of learning, implementing, and reassessing-then learning and implementing again and reassessing.

And 55 and perimenopausal. I had my first blood test in 14 years in September 2023 and discovered that I was extreme type two diabetic. That’s going from a belief that I was perfectly healthy. In response to that diagnosis, I have become the poster child of willpower, diet, and exercise not fixing the problem. I exercise about 150 minutes per day. I walk between two and 6 miles per day, I dance four times a week, I play tennis twice a week, and I strength train three times a week, this is a change I made and response to the diagnosis. I also completely cut processed foods out of my diet. I eat only whole, real foods that I prepare in my house - mostly organic, many locally sourced. I limit my carb intake. I get around 25 to 40 g of fibre per day. at my follow-up blood test in December, I had reduced my A1c by about 4.2, but my fasting blood sugar was still elevated and even with that large reduction in my A1c, I was still severely diabetic. I also had lost 16 pounds. And since then I don’t know my blood results yet, but I do know I haven’t lost even an ounce. Even with all the exercise, even with the careful diet even with the willpower - and I’m good at willpower because I used to have Anorexia so restricting intake is easy for me. I have to push back against the urge to not eat at all and force myself to get to 1500 to 1800 cal a day. I don’t take Ozempic, met Forman didn’t help me and it gave me very severe side effects so I don’t take that either, I’m doing this completely unmedicated. I will never take those epic, but I think there has to be more to the problem than just willpower, diet, exercise because I am on point on those things and I’m still fat and diabetic.

I was diagnosed with afib, which I, believe, was from a long period of sleep deprivation. I did not want to go on drugs and blood thinner, the standard for this condition.. Since I had no other risk factors, and my afib was intermittant, my doctor agreed to let me not take the drugs. I had the afib for three years, had gone to a sleep specialist to correct my sleep habits, and studied what foods could trigger the heart rhythm to go off. I am happy to say I have not had any afib for six years, when I was told by specialists I would only get worse as I get older. I'm 67 and doing well.

I’m a 64 year old woman, 5’2”, with thyroid and cholesterol issues and have never been obese but over the years slowly gained about 30 lbs that I couldn’t lose unless I starve myself which isn’t easy to do. I also have worked out my entire life. This has been a game changer for me (semaglutide). I love my wine and believe it has been a culprit to my inflammation & weight gain. Guess what? I have no desire to drink now. If/when I go off this stuff, will my desires come back? Maybe! But I will say bad habits die hard and I will be much more cognizant about my wine intake in the future as well as what I eat in the future. I REALLY appreciate the gal talking about dosage control as my symptoms have been terrible and now I know it’s about dosage. Let me add I’m under no doctor’s care for this. Yup, it’s easy to get and I increased my dose on my own. Bad idea on my part. I care about what I’m doing to my body which is why I watch these shows to educate myself. I’ve lost 18 lbs in 8 weeks and want to lose 10 more and thanks to the doctors here I am changing my future doses so I’m not so sick.

I tried this medication and couldn’t handle the nausea as the dose increased. At the time I was so sad because I loved the “calm” of never thinking about food. I have recently decided on my own to try it at a low dose cycling on and off of it. It helps me remember that while I do have a food addiction that I also have the ability to maintain control of the addiction. It has helped me regain control of my exercise and diet regime. I’ve been telling everyone I know with weight issues who got their dr to prescribe the medication for weight loss (not diabetic) to only use it at a low dose just to help them realize the food issues they may have- but to plan on it only being a short term thing. I’m so happy my natural instinct is proving to be a good idea! I fully agree with what Tina is saying! I do a week of rybelsus once every few months, I do weight training 5-6 days a week and joined a sport that I play almost everyday. If I hadn’t tried this medication I don’t think I would have understood the food addiction side of things and I don’t think I would have regained control of my life.

15 years ago I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My doctor prescribed Byetta twice a day. I suffered the typical stomach discomfort and vomiting for a short time, and over the following year with the help of Weight Watchers I lost about 60 lbs. I switched to Bydureon once a week. After about 5-6 years the weight crept back but my A1c remained around 5.1. Insurance made me switch to Trulicity. A1c remained stable but the weight did not come off. Recently I was forced off of Trulicity by a shortage that lasted 3 months. My doctor wanted to refer me to a pharmacy that had begun to compound a version, but I refused. Instead I got a subscription to a continuous blood glucose monitor and am focusing on dietary changes to avoid foods that spike my bood sugar, and exercise. My A1c has risen slightly but is still in the non-diabetic range. I am working on including more glp-1 foods and higher protein in my diet.

Good health outcomes are a three legged stool: They depend on (1) access to healthcare; (2) Practitioners informed on best practices; and (3) engaged patients that comply with the care plan to include lifestyle changes. The difficulties are that their are failures across each. This discussion is a perfect demonstration of different points of view at play by participants who are informed, passionate about their work. Discussing, debating and deciding is not so much about engendering agreement, but rather in creating a venue/process to illuminate the topic.

[@janbishop5542]

There is just so much (rightfully so in many cases) distrust in the medical profession after their treatment of people during & after CoVid, including promotion of a new, not properly researched solution (vaccines). The majority of the blame resides with pharma companies, but medical professionals should be asking more questions & discussing options with those of differing viewpoints. The above discussion is a step in the right direction.

Good health outcomes are based on... Avoid all doctors as much as possible. Avoid all medication and find real cures. No 'management'. A CURE! Avoid at all costs antibiotics and all medication. Only life and death situations should be the only situation for meds...and see for other solutions. Avoid elderly homes. Avoid any institution. Live in nature, simple, grow your own food. Eat carnivore, keto, little veggies, only fruit in the season, herbs, healthy fats. Avoid sugars, sweets, sweeteners, flour, additives, processed foods, unhealthy fats. Move everyday. Go outside in real light. Developed social deep bonds that last. Choose wisely a partner> only a lifelong partner. Doctors are a nightmare.

Obesity is not a disease. Obesity is based on the law of thermodynamics. Because people are not making good choices it is crippling our healthcare system. The expense of these drugs makes it financially unattainable as a society.

[@minyaw1234]

I have typ 2 diabetes, my hb1ac went down from 6.9 to 5.8 since taking this medication. All my other tests also turned out more positive than before. I even gained muscle mass since I started to actually enjoy walking again without my feet hurting since I lost 55lbs. I did feel nauseous for the first month, but my doctor just kept the dosis low for another month and my body adjusted pretty fast. For me it's life changing. For example 20:30 Calley is saying you have to start changing people's habit - I think that is easy to say for someone who never experienced this food noise many people suffer under that is like an addiction. Before I took this medication, not thinking about food didn't work, just taking a bite of something never worked, not overeating or eating better food never work, I fell into a kind of eating trance where I wasn't in control of my body anymore. In fact I felt like watching a movie instead of being in control. I'm not one of the body positivity guys, I know that what I put into my body is what comes out - but I also know that unless someone would literally 24/7 stand next to me and control my intake I will always lose to the food noise in my head. You are your own worst enemy because you know all of your weaknesses, and that voice is mean and relentless - you can maybe ignore it for a week, but it nags and nags and nags you until you can only give up. This medications stops that voice and gives you control over your body back. 37:45 "Eating less crap because they don't want it" - Yes! This is the weird thing my family also is surprised with. I'm a 6'1 dude and ate lots of things, now I'm choosing salads because the thought of downing a Pizza like I always did when we ordered food disgusts me. Now an Italian salad still isn't the best choice with all the sauce they put on that but better than a whole Pizza I ate before and I can't imagine myself ever eating again. I can maybe eat one piece of it but after that my stomach protests telling me to stop eating that crap. 50:35 "Change your habits" - I don't agree. If it were that easy, everyone would do it. The problem is that something is not working correctly and the medication opened my eyes personally, like when I started to notice, I'm not thinking about food all the time instead of thinking what I am going to have for lunch the whole drive to work. I thought: Oh, that's what a normal person feels like, you don't have to think about food all the time? If I always felt like that, I too wouldn't be able to understand overweight people and just tell them: Just change your habit bro.

I have been on Sema-glutide peptides for around a year and a half. Also was taking metformin but don’t really need it anymore. Bp was elevated but is back to normal…. I have lost almost 40 pounds and I eat way less in portions than i used to. I take the stuff from a compounding pharmacy , but it costs about $600 for Rx which lasts about 5 or 6 weeks…. Can’t continue the cost anymore …. I’m a post menopausal 60yo female. I only had some mild side effects which pretty much go away next day after a dose, or I don’t get any side affects at all. This has really jump started my journey to better health…. But soon I will stop and need to continue to do well without it…. In the end you need to make the lifestyle changes or you will pay for prescriptions forever lol. This did help to change my habits but we will see if I can do okay once the peptides are out of my system.

I have worked as a nurse 25 years, nurses and doctors almost always recommend lifestyle changes, patients have trouble getting the appropriate food, the food that is available is highly addictive, GLP 1 meds address the intense food cravings. I agree maintaining muscle mass and in changing diet, but the medication is an important component to combat the food craving and get back to metabolic health.

[@kzp5249]

Great interview, thank you. 2 favorite topics for me at the moment. Healthy lifestyle = kids healthy(not ozempic for kids) and adults. I tried everything to lose weight and nothing helped, not even ozempic. With process of elimination of carbs to reverse diabetes and all other health issues , I went on v low carb later realized it’s called carnivore, 3 months no results on weight loss but felt better, less energy on meal preps etc. I ordered semiglutide and just started on it yesterday so I stepped on the scale to record my weight and see that I lost 3.5kgs! First time ever…I wish I did not spend so much of money on the meds and continued with my high protein and fat eating and , not to mention the side effects of nausea , fatigue and severe headaches. I’m also afraid of not eating as this apparently paralyzes your stomach! I pray for all to stay healthy.

Thinking that low dose is a bridge is great, but as Calley says, the habits don't tend to change. I can see that if it can help a person to have lessened their pain, they will likely start to move more.

[@mythals]

I can see it from each of their perspectives. Tyna is talking very specifically about set circumstances where the conditions are tailored to the patient. Hyman is open more to the idea of it being natural within the body and likely offering some benefits but knowing the limitations are important. Calley is looking at this from a pharma/food insider and understanding their motives, he is concerned about the longer term affects on the average patient, knowing most don't have doctors like Tyna and Hyman who will take the time to tailor solutions. They all have valid points.

I live down the street from a high school in California. I grew up in the '90s, in Cali. I noticed that teenagers are SO much bigger nowadays and are less self-conscious about it. For example, a girl that is 20-30 lbs overweight for her age and height has no shame in wearing a shirt that shows her chubby midsection! 😮 My point is that this epidemic is socialital as well as physically. There would be no way that the same girl would walk out of that high school wearing that outfit not in tears from the harshment and ridicule she faced that day back in the '90s. We, as a society, are weak, lazy, and fat! 🤪🤯

The camel toes in the front, the cottage cheese in the back, the muffin tops on the sides, sausages and hams all around - The Ugly Nation!!!! But these morbidly obese people (some) will show you how flexible they might be, how easily they will squat and stand up or ballet dance… “fat is beautiful” “obesity is a disease to be managed with medication”…. 🙄🫨 … totally missing the point that being fat is NOT normal, not healthy.

Very interesting convo. Thanks guys. I agree with Calley's cautions about how people(including doctors) may use it as a panacea/magic pill outside of appropriate context. I also appreciate Tyna's comments about dosing and cycling off and am encouraged to learn more about peptides and GLP agonists generally. Mark said it well about in a perfect world which we aim for versus navigating the delays getting there and the reality or hope of can we use this in safe ways to gain a leg up, in conjunction with other measures. The example that comes to my mind is that cars kill and maim. Yet we attempt to mitigate how to still use them for their benefits and with caution and respect for context and speed.

[@20monica70]

Started zepbound for weight loss and found it completely eliminated my chronic inflammation and pain in lower limbs. It was a love hate situation because although it helped with inflammation it also caused chronic constipation. Also stopped me from wanting to eat . I couldn't even eat healthy because the sight of any food made me nauseous. Due to the shortage I've missed 7 weeks of Zepbound. My inflammation and pain returned after 2 weeks off. I did lose weight only because I couldn't eat any food. I regained the weight during the 7 weeks off due to shortages.

Calley talks about incentives, which are what really drive the system. I appreciate his point of view. Dr. Hyman keeps downplaying the incentives, and he won't face up to the fact that doctors will go along with a corrupt system because they need to feed their families. Tyna Moore makes good points, but she is too pessimistic about the cultural change needed to get obese parents to help their obese children adopt a healthy diet. It's not that difficult to change minds, if the right news sources and interest-groups are on your side. Look at how, in just a generation or two, many people have changed their minds about cigarettes, climate disaster, transing kids with hormones and surgery, telling people that seed-oil-corn-syrup concoctions (i.e., the nutrition shakes they give patients in the hospital) are healthful, that the covid vaccine is totally safe and fully tested. It's an information problem. But, of course, there are powerful people who don't want the truth to come out because it would reduce their power and money, so ordinary people are not getting the message. Until people like Oprah talk about the benefits of keto, change among the normies isn't gonna happen.
