Everyone Is a Category of One | Dr. Anthony Beck on Peptides, GLP-1s, and Fear-Based Medicine | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | Ep.042

Dr. Anthony Beck (ND, DOM) has spent three decades working in nutrition, biochemistry, and functional medicine with the special operations community, including the late Navy SEAL Mike Day. He's the author of Beyond the Scale and the nearly 800 page Borrowed Signals, and he built Balance Protocol GPS, a self directed lab and coaching program built around his 150 biomarker Neutral Core X panel.   This one goes deep on peptides and GLP-1 medications: what a peptide actually is (a "borrowed signal," not a molecule with a mechanism of action like aspirin), why so many people run them with zero baseline testing and get nothing out of it, and why sourcing, almost everything traces back to China regardless of the label, is the real risk rather than the peptide itself. Dr. Beck breaks down the frameworks he uses to cut through health misinformation, "category of one," "context cubed," and "Q squared M squared," and applies them to LDL cholesterol, hemoglobin A1C, and the four non negotiables (protein, fiber, hydration, and resistance training) anyone on a GLP-1 needs to hit to avoid losing muscle along with the weight.   We also get into why he was one of the first doctors to publicly question the COVID vaccine timeline back in March 2020 and the backlash that followed, his myth busting take on glyphosate, and why he thinks the carnivore and vegan camps are equally dogmatic.   Follow Dr.Beck https://www.instagram.com/dranthonygbeck/?hl=en   Balance Protocol Website https://balanceprotocol.com/   Follow Truth Serum Podcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tylermintonnutrition/?hl=en Podcast IG:  https://www.instagram.com/truthserumpodcast_/?hl=en TikTok:  @TruthSerumPod Website:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/ Newsletter:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/truth-serum-weekly-newsletter/
