Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.
Hey friends, you're listening to Fitness Friday on the Habits and Hustle podcast, where myself and my friends share quick and very actionable advice for you becoming your healthiest self. So stay tuned and let me know how you leveled up. Are there hidden benefits to GLP-1s that the FDA just isn't talking about?
In this Fitness Friday episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Tina Moore to break down the truth about GLP-1 medications and the hype surrounding them. Dr. Tina is an expert in holistic regenerative medicine. She shares why these drugs are more than just weight loss tools and how the conversation around them has become very polarizing.
This is a short clip from our full interview where you can find the full episode linked in the show notes below. Please listen and comment with anything you'd like. Enjoy the episode. There's so much controversy over Ozempic, right? Most people are like, oh, you know what? It's like the easy way out. You're not learning behavioral differences or habits.
You're just kind of taking a shot to lose weight. And you are on the opposite side of the fence, right? You actually, you're a big proponent of using these drugs.
Well, I was originally, about a year ago, I found all this data and literature, like 20 years of studies showing that this class of peptides, for one, they just happen to be owned by big pharma.
Can you talk about what it is? Because I think no one really understands, like, is it a peptide? Is it a drug?
Let's start with what GLP-1 is. It's a peptide. So it's a string of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. So it's a peptide. We make GLP-1 in our bodies naturally in our brain and in our guts. We have receptors for GLP-1s all over our body that do a whole lot of different things. It just was serendipitous that it got figured out for type 2 diabetes.
It does a whole lot of other things in the body. And this was really interesting to me when I started studying it. It's a peptide in that it's in and out of the body very quickly. So the body produces it and the half-life is very short. The pharmaceutical version has been tinkered with so that the half-life is much longer. So the half-life is maybe four to seven days. So that's it.
