Series: Summer Shorts

Length: ~12 minutes

Host: Beth Friesen – Executive Coach | Midlife Ride-or-Die | Hormone & Healing Truth-Teller

In this bite-sized Summer Shorts episode, we’re talking about real microdosing—not that “I’m on a low dose but still dropping 3 sizes” nonsense floating around TikTok.

Beth breaks down what true microdosing GLP-1 medications actually looks like, why it’s NOT about shrinking your body, and how this strategy can be a legit game-changer for metabolic support, mood, brain health, and gut healing—especially for midlife women.

You’ll also hear about:

• The science behind GLP-1s and why the dose matters
• How microdosing fits into a long game strategy—not a quick fix
• Insights from Dr. Tyna Moore, who calls it “metabolic scaffolding”
• Why this may be a missing link for women navigating perimenopause or burnout
• And a reality check about “doing the work” no matter what size your shot is

• What defines true GLP-1 microdosing
• How to know if your symptoms match the need
• The difference between microdosing and underdosing
• Why using GLPs for support (not shortcutting) is the real revolution
• How this approach impacts your brain, inflammation, nervous system, and hormones

• Dr. Tyna Moore, ND, DC
• On GLP microdosing as “scaffolding” for the nervous system
