Episode 18: Everything You Need to Know About Microdosing GLP-1s and the Power of FLOA with Dr. Dean Jones, DC

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In today’s episode, I’m chatting with the incredible Dr. Dean Jones, DC, founder of FLOA Protocols and one of my favorite voices in the peptide space. We’re going deep into GLP-1s, microdosing, fasting, and metabolic repair… but we’re also talking about the heart behind it all: mindset, spiritual growth, and finding balance while healing your metabolism. Dr. Jones shares his personal story of weight gain, loss, and recovery; how he created his FLOA Fasting Method; and why true metabolic healing starts long before the scale starts moving. We also unpack the truth about GLP-1s, why microdosing can be a game-changer, and how to avoid the trap of “functional starvation” that so many women fall into. In this episode, I cover: What “metabolically healed” really means for women in midlife The benefits of gentle weekly dosing vs. high-dose “shock and drop” methods Dr. Jones’ FLOA Protocol and how it blends fasting with metabolic healing How fasting builds resilience and mental clarity The key labs to request: fasting insulin, C-peptide, CRP, ESR, thyroid panel, and A1C Why undereating can mimic hypothyroidism (and tank your energy!)
