Mindset Over Weight: Intuitive Eating, GLP-1 Medications & Ending Weight Cycling with Mary Marshall, RN | Ep. 161

Is weight loss really the answer — or is the real work about healing your relationship with food and your body? In this episode of NHA Today, host Eileen Kopsaftis sits down with registered nurse and wellness educator Mary Marshall, creator of Mindset Over Weight, to explore a powerful shift in the conversation around weight, dieting, and health. Together, they unpack: Why weight cycling (losing and regaining weight) may be more harmful than maintaining a stable higher weight How dieting disrupts hunger and fullness hormones (ghrelin & leptin) Why intuitive (or attuned) eating is not "eat whatever you want" The neurological impact of chronic dieting The real risks behind GLP-1 medications How shame and self-criticism sabotage long-term health Mary shares why health can exist across a wide range of body sizes — and how learning to listen to internal signals can restore peace, metabolic balance, and self-trust. This is a compassionate, research-informed conversation about moving from self-judgment to self-care.
