We Need to Rethink Food Noise

Food noise has become one of the biggest conversations around eating, weight loss, and GLP-1 medications. But before we decide that food noise is something we need to eliminate, I think we need to ask a much more important question.What does food noise actually mean to you?In the first episode of this podcast, I’m laying out why I think we need a much more nuanced conversation about food noise.Over the last few years, the term has exploded alongside the popularity of weight loss medications. The problem is that more and more thoughts, feelings, habits, cravings, and experiences around food are getting grouped together underneath the same label.And when everything becomes food noise, it becomes very easy to start believing that every thought or feeling you have about food is something bad that needs to disappear.I don’t want to tell you what food noise should mean to you.I want to help you start untangling it for yourself.What are you actually thinking and feeling around food? Which experiences are disruptive to your life? Which ones might simply be part of eating? How have weight loss, dieting, marketing, medications, and your own experiences influenced the way you interpret those thoughts and feelings?This podcast is going to explore those questions without fear, guilt, shame, or somebody pointing a finger at you and telling you exactly how you’re supposed to eat.I’ve spent decades working in both fitness and marketing, and that combination gives me a unique perspective on this conversation. I’m interested not only in our individual experiences with food, but also in how food noise is being packaged and marketed to us.My goal is to give you different perspectives, questions, and ideas that you can apply to your own life so you can figure out what works for you.Because ultimately, this isn’t about winning a battle against food noise.It’s about building a relationship with food, eating, exercise, and yourself that you can live with for the rest of your life.If you want to continue the conversation on food noise, sign up for the Your Level Fitness Live Streams:https://yourlevelfitness.com/streams
