EP. 289: Join my new community for Gen X women, we are digging into GLP1s for the next 90 days: https://www.skool.com/drtyna

Three years after I introduced the world to the concept of microdosing GLP1s, and after thousands of questions, DMs, and feedback, I'm breaking down the three biggest mistakes I see women making in menopause. We get into why so many women who think they're microdosing aren't, why a GLP1 can't be your whole plan, and what happens when you skip the foundations.

I also share what I got right, what's...

I sat down with Sal, Adam, and Justin of Mind Pump in their studio, and I brought questions from my Menopause Rebellion community.

On this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I’m getting vulnerable and sharing what’s been going on with me over the past few months, and my nearly 20 lb weight gain that happened seemingly overnight. This was due to stress, illness, gut issues, and metabolic dysfunction that completely threw my body out of balance.
