In this eye-opening episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn sits down with Dr. Tyna Moore for a bold and unfiltered conversation about hormones, metabolism, and the urgent need to rethink modern medicine.
Together, they share their personal journeys with plant-based nutrition, the breakdown of conventional medical thinking, and the real-world struggles patients face when trying to get holistic, informed care. Dr. Tyna brings her no-nonsense approach to key topics like GLP-1 medications, peptide therapy, hormone balance, and the power of physiologic (vs. high-dose) dosing.
From the limitations of mammograms to the influence of pharmaceutical incentives, this episode explores why critical thinking, muscle mass, and true patient education are the future of healing.
