EPISODE 122: She Lost 50 Lbs and Started Binge Eating. Will a GLP-1 Help?

A woman on Reddit is down 50 pounds, going through a brutal breakup, and spiraling into emotional binge eating. She wants to know if GLP-1s will fix it.   Coach Steph and I give her an honest, judgment-free answer and it's probably not what she's expecting.   Here's what we get into:   Why emotional eating and binge eating aren't two separate problems (and what's actually driving the behavior) What GLP-1s actually do and why they're the wrong tool for this specific situation Why "time heals all wounds" is a lie your nervous system doesn't believe The real reason food becomes your go-to during heartbreak, grief, and life upheaval What emotional regulation actually looks like and the skill set that changes everything   This episode isn't about shaming anyone for reaching for a quick fix. It's about understanding why the quick fix won't work and what will.   If you've ever found yourself eating when you're not even hungry, this one's for you.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   Be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type
