59: You Can End Food Noise Without Weight Loss Drugs

Is food noise loud in your head? In this episode, I break down what food noise actually is, why your brain produces it, and why using a GLP-1 is a mask, not a fix. If you or someone you love is weighing up a weight loss drug, this gives you the fuller picture before you decide.Please note: I say the number of Intuitive Eating Studies is around 190. I mean to say 100. I walk through the three phases your body goes through to end food noise without medication.I also look at a broad overview of what the data says happens when people stop taking GLP-1s, and why researchers like Ragen Chastain, Angela Meadows, and Louise Adams argue these drugs follow a similar pattern to all intentional weight loss effort — they are not the exception the marketing claims.Sources referenced in this episode:Chastain, R., Meadows, A., & Adams, L.
