Top Insights from Dr. Will Haas’s Interview

1. Ever wonder why high achievers feel exhausted even when their labs look “perfect”? Turns out, they’re experts at overriding their own biology.
2. Burnout isn’t just in your head—it’s happening at a cellular level. Learn the three key “switches” control your energy.
3. Your body might warn you weeks before high achiever burnout hits. Heart rate variability (HRV) can drop 2–4 weeks before you even feel it.
4. Think your HRV is fine? Most high performers are way below optimal.
5. You don’t need fancy gadgets to spot burnout—just watch your resting heart rate. A rise of a few beats can be an early warning.
6. Stress can spike your blood sugar in ways you’d never expect. Continuous glucose monitors reveal hidden burnout patterns—even in those who eat “perfectly.”
7. From IV nutrients to red light therapy and peptides, cellular-level treatments can help high achievers reclaim energy—but only when personalized to your body’s unique needs.
