What We Got Wrong About GLP-1s (And What's Right) | Dr. Tyna Moore

**Dr. Mark Hyman** (0:00)
I've changed my opinion over the years on this. At first, I was skeptical, and I've changed my position.

And I think the one thing that this whole journey has showed all of us is that metabolic health is the core of everything. These peptides improve metabolic health overall. And when we see metabolic health improve, we see all kinds of everything across the board, regardless of weight loss. Irrespective of weight loss, we're seeing really great benefits happen. And yes, there's direct mechanisms of GLP-1s. They land on immune cells. They land on receptors around the body. They have a direct impact that we don't even fully understand.

Yeah, I think that's a really important framework for people to understand GLP-1s, because a lot of doctors just prescribe them. These are, I think, a real benefit to humanity. The question is, how do we use them right?
This episode is brought to you by Rose Nutrition Liposomal NAD. Here's a real question. Why did two people the same age look and feel completely different? One is energy, sharp focus, and is still running circles around people half their age. The other is exhausted by immune and can't remember where they put their phone. A big part of the answer is NAD+. It's a molecule your cells run on to produce energy, to repair DNA, to regulate how you age at the biological level. The problem is NAD plus levels drop by about 50 percent by the time you hit middle age. That decline is one of the reasons aging feels the way it does. Most NAD supplements don't survive long enough to reach your cells. Roe uses liposomal delivery specifically designed to get into your system intact where it can actually do something. If you want to address the energy and aging problem at the cellular level, not just cover it up with caffeine, this is where to start. Go to roenutrition.com and use the code HYMAN for 20 percent off site-wide. That's HYMAN at roenutrition.com. I put a lot of consideration into what I eat. We have to eat real whole foods to stay healthy, and that is why I love my clean seafood box from Seatopia. It arrives blast frozen at my house. It's lab-tested for microplastics and mercury and is packed with a variety of seafood that is full of bioavailable omega-3s. You get the best of seafood's nutritional properties without the side of toxins, sadly now often found in our oceans. My favorite is the Seatopia King Salmon, which is full of bioavailable EPA and DHA, and you get so much of it in a single meal that it actually beats what most people get in a week's worth of supplements. And honestly, it does taste so much better than a pill. Get your first box at Seatopia.Fish and use the code Hyman for free shipping.
Before we begin, I'd like to note that today's conversation explores one perspective of an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated. And while we discuss emerging evidence and critiques of current psychiatric practice, treatment decisions, especially involving antidepressants or other prescription medications, should always be made in consultation with your health care provider. The views expressed by my guest are her own and reflect her interpretation of the available evidence. My goal in hosting conversations like this is to explore different perspectives, to examine the science, to encourage thoughtful discussion, not to provide individualized medical advice. So if you're currently taking medication, please don't stop or change your treatment based on this conversation alone. Instead, use this episode as a starting point for an informed conversation with your health care team. My hope is that these discussions encourage curiosity, critical thinking and shared decision making between patients and their clinicians.
So before we wrap up, if you found today's conversation on Lyme disease helpful, be sure to check out my upcoming conversation with one of the world's leading Lyme experts, Dr. Richard Horowitz. We go beyond Lyme disease itself to explore why so many people remain chronically ill. We explore his groundbreaking EmSense framework for understanding chronic disease. We also look at the biggest drivers of chronic inflammation and what it really takes to help the body heal. So be sure to check it out this Wednesday. Here's a preview.

We dive into why so many people stay sick, and we look at the hidden drivers of chronic illness and a whole new way of thinking about inflammation and recovery and healing. It drops this Wednesday and until then, here's a preview of what's to come.
All right, Tina, great to have you back on the podcast. Good to see you again. How are you doing?
