Coaches’ Top Picks: My Evening Routine for Better Sleep & Recovery on GLP-1

A simple nightly reset to help support sleep, recovery, and long-term results while using GLP-1 medication.

"One habit I personally stick to, and regularly recommend to my GLP-1 patients, is my evening reset drink, which I have about an hour before bed.

I combine:

This has become a real non-negotiable for me.

It helps signal that the day is ending, allowing my nervous system to slow down and my body to move into rest and recovery mode."

Why sleep and recovery matters especially on GLP-1

For many people using GLP-1 medication, weight loss can happen quite quickly. While this is fantastic for overall health, rapid change can sometimes come with challenges such as:

  • fatigue

  • poor sleep

  • hair thinning

  • muscle loss

  • skin changes

  • increased recovery needs

That’s why sleep, nourishment and recovery become just as important as the weight loss itself.

When the body is well rested, it is much easier to maintain energy, support muscle and manage appetite.

Why I love this blend

Collagen provides important building blocks for skin, joints, muscles and connective tissue. Nighttime is when the body naturally focuses on repair, which is why I like including collagen as part of my evening routine.

The Evening Elixir also contains vitamin C from acerola, which helps support the body’s natural collagen production. So while the drink helps encourage collagen production, adding a collagen powder provides additional building blocks to support the body while it recovers overnight.

Supporting better sleep

Sleep plays a huge role in weight management.

When sleep suffers, we often see:

  • stronger cravings

  • increased hunger

  • higher stress hormones

  • more inflammation

When sleep improves, appetite regulation, recovery and energy levels often improve too, which makes the weight-loss journey feel far more manageable.

Why this matters for GLP-1 patients

GLP-1 success is not just about eating less.
It is about helping your body adapt well to change.

Creating a calming evening routine can help:

  • improve sleep consistency

  • support overnight repair

  • reduce stress-related eating

  • protect muscle during weight loss

Most importantly, it creates a sustainable daily ritual that supports your health long after medication.

Because sometimes the biggest progress comes from the smallest habits, done consistently.
