#170 Is the Weight-Loss Jab Enough? Understanding the Emotional Side of Eating

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by emotional and disordered eating specialist Lisa Unger for an honest look at the rise of weight loss injections and the impact they can have. We explore how weight, food and wellbeing are deeply tied to our emotions, self esteem and body image.Lisa explains why medications like Ozempic can help some people, especially those with Type 2 diabetes, yet rarely create lasting change unless we also address the underlying drivers of our eating behaviours.We touch on the emotional layers that so often sit beneath overeating, why focusing only on food keeps us stuck, and how nurturing body esteem, self trust and emotional resilience leads to sustainable, long term change.Find out more about Lisa here; https://lisaunger.co.uk
