How to Find a Quality GLP-1 Provider w/ Sabina Hemmi Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Navigating the world of GLP-1 telehealth providers is overwhelming and most people have no reliable way to compare options before committing hundreds of dollars. Sabina Hemmi has been on a GLP-1 for over three years, lost 60 pounds, dealt with nearly every side effect in the book, and turned her frustration with the provider landscape into a full platform to help others avoid the confusion she went through. In this episode, she walks through what GLP Winner tracks and why — price breakdowns, compounding pharmacy transparency, real user reviews, and the vetting process behind adding a new provider. She also breaks down the current legal landscape around compounded GLP-1s, which states are pushing legislation that could cut off access, and why that matters beyond just weight loss medication.

About Our Guest, Sabina Hemmi: Sabina Hemmi is the founder of GLP Winner (glpwinner.com), a platform built to help GLP-1 patients compare telehealth providers, understand pricing, and evaluate compounding pharmacies — all in one place. She has been on a GLP-1 medication for over three years and lost 60 pounds. Before GLP Winner, Sabina built companies in the video game industry and co-owns speedrun.com, the leading leaderboard platform for video game speedrunning. She created GLP Winner after personally experiencing how difficult and opaque the telehealth provider landscape was — and after interviewing more than 150 patients who shared the same story. She now tracks over 100 providers, publishes monthly reviews, and covers access and compounding legislation across social media under the handle @Lawliepop.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

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.

Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). He serves as COO of Troscriptions, and as VP of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice, the nonprofit arm that trains clinicians to focus on optimizing health rather than simply treating disease.

They also cover how to safely taper off the medication (or microdose for maintenance), the rebound hunger trap that catches people who skip meals, and the surprising non-weight-loss benefits patients are reporting — from reduced joint pain to better sleep.

Struggling with binge eating or can't stop thinking about food? Amber Abila, binge eating coach, reveals why traditional therapy and willpower aren't enough—and shares the two missing pieces that finally helped her break free after years of bulimia and binge eating. Discover how food flavorings are hijacking your brain's nutrition signals, why urges are just suggestions (not commands), and the simple visualization technique that stops a binge in its tracks. If you're on a GLP-1 or planning to be, this episode is essential listening—because without these mindset tools, the weight often returns when you stop the medication. Learn how to rewire your brain so eating feels light, easy, and effortless instead of a daily battle.
