Microdosing GLP-1s: Can Less Actually Work Better? | Dr. Karen Mann
Microdosing GLP-1s is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about topics in obesity medicine, but can taking less actually produce better long-term results for some people?
In this episode, Dr. Karen Mann shares how personalized GLP-1 dosing, food noise, behavior change, and identity-based habits may be the missing pieces to sustainable weight management. We also discuss preserving muscle, optimizing protein intake, resistance training, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and why lasting health depends on changing who you become—not just what you weigh.
