About Dr. Tina Moore

  • Expert in holistic regenerative medicine and metabolic health.
  • Licensed naturopathic doctor and chiropractor.
  • Focused on understanding and healing root causes for long-term wellness.
  • Host of Dr. Tina's podcast.

Understanding OIC and GLP-1 Agonists

  • GLP-1 agonists are peptides used by millions for weight loss.
  • Discussion on how these medications work, their benefits, and potential side effects.

Dr. Moore's Professional Background

  • Mentor of Dr. Rick Marinelli, a pioneer in regenerative medicine.
  • Background in physical medicine and regenerative therapies.
  • Focus on metabolic health as a foundation for regeneration and wellness.

Metabolic Health

  • Definition: Proper metabolism of food for optimal body function.
  • Emphasis on early detection of metabolic dysfunction.
  • Importance of metabolic health in the prevention of chronic diseases.

GLP-1 Agonists: What They Are

  • Naturally occurring peptides produced in the gut and brain.
  • Functions include regulating insulin, reducing glucagon, and improving blood sugar management.
  • Impact on appetite and gastric motility, offering benefits for weight loss.

Pharmaceutical vs. Peptide

  • Difference between traditional medications and peptides.
  • Peptides like GLP-1 are chains of amino acids with regenerative benefits.

Differences between GLP-1 Agonists and Triseptin

  • GLP-1 agonists bind to the GLP-1 receptor.
  • Triseptin is a dual agonist, affecting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for enhanced metabolic impact.
  • Choice depends on individual health objectives.

Dr. Moore's Microdosing Approach

  • Hypothesis on microdosing GLP-1 agonists for benefits beyond weight loss.
  • Benefits observed in mood, cognition, autoimmune symptoms, and more.
  • Emphasis on personalized dosing to minimize side effects.

Side Effects and Dosage Considerations

  • Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, pancreatitis (rare in microdoses).
  • Importance of personalized dosing to reduce side effects.

Lifestyle Considerations

  • Importance of integrating lifestyle changes: strength training, healthy diet, adequate sleep, stress management.
  • Potential for patients to reduce or eliminate medication dependency with lifestyle improvements.

Industry Implications

  • Potential conflict between the pharmaceutical and food industries.
  • Concerns about consumer behavior changes reducing demand for processed foods.

Conclusion

  • Dr. Moore's nuanced approach balances medical intervention with lifestyle changes.
  • Resources available for deeper learning on GLP-1 agonists, including Dr. Moore’s free course "OIC Uncovered" and her podcast.
