How Microdosing GLP-1s Helped Heal Your Metabolism and Nervous System with Lee Anne Dunson

About this video

Woodward interviews Leanne Densen, a hormone coach and mother of four, who shares her personal journey through perimenopause and menopause. Densen describes how she struggled with weight gain and metabolic issues despite being on hormone therapy and following conventional health advice. She recounts discovering that insulin resistance was her primary barrier, and discusses combining what she describes as micro-dosing GLP-1 peptides with personalized nutrition, progressive resistance training, and nervous system work to address her symptoms. The conversation also covers neurosomatic education (NSE), craniosacial work, and mindset practices Densen credits for her transformation.

Key takeaways

• Densen argues that hormone replacement therapy alone did not resolve her midlife weight gain, and claims insulin resistance was the underlying issue that needed to be addressed alongside hormone optimization.
• According to Densen, she experienced significant improvements when she combined what she calls micro-dose GLP-1 therapy with adequate protein intake, resistance training, and nervous system regulation practices including meditation and neurosomatic work.
• Both speakers emphasize that healing requires addressing mindset, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health together rather than focusing solely on diet or supplementation.
