• The Fight for Affordable GLP1s & the Truth About Big Pharma | Dave Knapp

  On this episode I sit down with my friend Dave Knapp, an independent journalist and community leader in the world of GLP-1 receptor agonists. Living with obesity and type 2 diabetes himself, Dave has built a platform dedicated to connecting and educating people using these life-changing peptides. We break down the latest updates on the FDA’s crackdown on compounding pharmacies and what it could mean for the future of GLP-1 access. We also dive into the shady role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) in driving up drug prices, the realities of living with obesity, and why traditional approaches to weight loss often fall short. Dave shares insights from his personal journey, including his experiences with keto and the struggles his community has faced.  Topics Discussed:  What is happening with the FDA’s crackdown on compounding pharmacies and GLP-1 medications? How do Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) drive up drug prices and impact patient access? What are GLP-1 receptor agonists, and how are they changing the lives of people with obesity and type 2 diabetes? Why do traditional weight loss methods like “eat less, move more” often fail for people with metabolic disorders?

• Microdosing GLP1s Has Gone Mainstream | Quick + Dirty

  EP. 201: On this quick-and-dirty solo episode, I'm diving into a brand-new article just published in Diabetes Care (March 2025, Vol. 48): "One Size Does Not Fit All: Understanding Microdosing Semaglutide for Diabetes and Multi-Dose Pens." This opinion piece by respected endocrinologists signals a massive shift in the conversation—one I’ve been screaming from the rooftops for over a year. While I’m not claiming credit (ok maybe a little), I am thrilled to see microdosing GLP-1s being acknowledged by mainstream medicine… even if they’re still getting a lot of it, well, OFF. Let’s be clear: microdosing  was NEVER meant to be a weight loss strategy, even thought that’s what everyone seems to think it’s for. And if you’re NOT using these drugs without a full metabolic support plan—protein, lifting, hormones, insulin sensitivity—you’re setting yourself (or your patients) up to fail. Topics Discussed:  What the pen-click method is and why it's a game-changer Why splitting up a full dose is not microdosing (despite what TikTok tells you) The difference between low-dosing, standard dosing, and true microdosing Why microdosing isn’t a long-term solution for weight loss or type 2 diabetes How this concept can support tolerability, access, and personalized care Why most “microdosing” marketing is just sloppy semantics The real clinical rationale behind true microdosing How to use GLP-1s intelligently as part of a broader metabolic protocol I break it all down in this episode, and if you want to go deeper, grab my free 4-part video series at drtyna.com/ozempicuncovered — it’ll walk you straight into the most comprehensive GLP-1 course available for clinicians and smart self-healers alike.
