GLP-1s, Binge Eating, and the Hidden Cost of Treating Obesity

from Gastric Mindset · host Safi Abdi

This Eating Disorder Awareness Week, I'm joined by a binge eating disorder recovery coach with 17 years in recovery, and we’re diving deep into the dilemma of treating obesity without sacrificing eating disorder recovery.With the rise of GLP-1 weight loss injections, more people are turning to medication to "quieten the food noise"—but at what cost? Are these drugs a long-term solution or just a temporary plaster over a deeper issue?In this candid conversation, we unpack:🔹 The psychological risks of GLP-1s for people with a history of binge eating.🔹 Why true healing from binge eating takes more than suppressing appetite.🔹 The missing conversation in obesity treatment—what’s being overlooked?🔹 How to break free from food obsession in a way that lasts.If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of dieting, binge eating, and seeking a quick fix, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s talk about real recovery, not just weight loss.Follow Ronni on: Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach & Authorwww.ronnirobinson.comOut of the PantryInstagramGet Your FREE list of my recommendations of books, podcast and YouTube to help you change your mindset downloads below.⁠⁠https://pages.therapybysafi.com/challenge-page-1526⁠Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Safi (@gastricmindset)⁠⁠https://pages.therapybysafi.com/challenge-page-1526⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My website ⁠⁠https://www.therapybysafi.com Join my free Facebook Group for support pre and post op⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/566725621519161/?ref=share⁠⁠
