The Dr. Tyna Show

EP. 290: Check out my NEW community for Gen X ladies. We are doubling down over the next 90 days on all things GLP1s: https://www.skool.com/drtyna

Do women’s metabolisms really slow down in midlife? I sat down with Dr. Alyssa Olenick, PhD in exercise physiology, to talk through what the research shows about metabolism across the menopause transition, and why so many women feel like their bodies changed overnight anyway. We get into fat distribution, insulin resistance, cortisol, and why muscle and conditioning are the levers that move everything else.

We also talk about the gap between the data and women’s lived experience, why fit women still get hit hard by menopause, and how to start building capacity wherever you are today.

Topics Discussed:
→ Does metabolism slow down in menopause, or is something else going on?
→ Why does fat shift to the midsection as estrogen declines?
→ How should strength training and cardio work together for metabolic health?
→ Why do strength and power matter more than muscle size as we age?
→ Why do fit, well-trained women still get sidelined by menopause?

EP. 289: Join my new community for Gen X women, we are digging into GLP1s for the next 90 days: https://www.skool.com/drtyna

Three years after I introduced the world to the concept of microdosing GLP1s, and after thousands of questions, DMs, and feedback, I'm breaking down the three biggest mistakes I see women making in menopause. We get into why so many women who think they're microdosing aren't, why a GLP1 can't be your whole plan, and what happens when you skip the foundations.

I also share what I got right, what's been twisted along the way, and what I want you to understand before you start or keep going.

Topics Discussed:

→ Are you really microdosing, or are you on a standard starting dose?

→ Why doesn't microdosing work as a weight loss strategy?

→ What happens when you lose weight without protecting your muscle?

→ Which foundations should you build before or alongside a GLP1?

→ Why do so many women stall on a GLP1, and what comes next?

EP. 287: Join my new community for Gen X women: https://www.skool.com/drtyna



What if the key to living with less pain isn’t waiting until you feel better, but learning how to live more right now?

In this episodeI sit down with Dr. Sean Pastuch, author of Live More, Hurt Less, to talk about the relationship between chronic pain, fear, movement, and the stories we tell ourselves about our bodies. We explore why pain can become tied to our sense of what’s safe, how avoiding movement can leave us feeling even more limited, and why a diagnosis doesn’t have to define your future.

Topics Discussed:

→ Can chronic pain get better without surgery?

→ How does movement help reduce chronic pain?

→ When is surgery necessary for back pain?

→ How does fear make pain feel worse?

→ Can low estrogen affect muscle recovery and joint pain?

We filter our water and read our food labels, but most of us never think about the air we breathe all day and all night at home. Mike Feldstein, founder of Jaspr, is back to talk about what’s actually floating around inside our homes and what we can do about it without getting neurotic.

Mike spent years cleaning up after wildfires, floods, and mold, and he saw firsthand how polluted indoor air can get. We talk about why I didn’t factor air quality into my move to Arizona, how everyday habits like heat styling your hair or burning candles add to what you breathe, and why the bedroom is the first place to start.

In this episode:

→ Why air is the most overlooked part of a healthy home

→ What I learned about dust storms and valley fever after moving to Arizona → Heat styling, setting sprays, candles, and essential oils: what they add to your indoor air

→ The school Mike built as a “living lab” for clean air, water, and lighting

→ What HEPA actually means, and why filter testing claims can mislead

→ Where to put an air purifier and which setting to use for sleep

→ How to build a healthier home step by step, without overwhelm
