Description: In this episode, Ana sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr to break down the “sympathetic spiral of doom” and how chronic stress can quietly drive fatigue, insulin resistance, poor recovery, and stalled progress — especially for people using GLP-1 medications.Dr. Sherr explains how sympathetic overdrive (fight-or-flight) and mitochondrial dysfunction can reinforce each other, why “wired but tired” is a major red flag, and how health optimization habits can help restore resilience. They also discuss practical ways to support better nervous-system balance, metabolic flexibility, sleep, and long-term outcomes beyond the scale.About Dr. Scott Sherr:Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
