Sleep, Cortisol & GLP-1s w/ Dr. Holly Donahue

Send us Fan MailAre you waking up at 3AM with your heart racing? Feeling wired but tired all day? Dr. Holly Donahue, a naturopathic doctor with over two decades of experience, reveals why so many GLP-1 users struggle with sleep, and it's not the medication itself. The real culprit is what most people are doing (or not doing) with their nutrition. In this conversation, Ana and Dr. Donahue break down the cortisol-blood sugar connection, why your body might be spiking stress hormones overnight, and exactly what you need to eat to sleep soundly while on a GLP-1. If you're exhausted, not losing weight despite doing "everything right," or just want to feel better on your medication, this episode gives you the blueprint. About Dr. Donahue: Dr. Holly Donahue is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with over two decades of clinical experience who discovered naturopathic medicine's power over 30 years ago when a customized treatment plan completely turned her life around—prompting her to leave corporate America and pursue medicine.
