If GLP-1 medications have quieted your food noise but left you wondering how to handle the emotions underneath it, this episode is for you. Ana talks with Jessica Brown about why weight loss alone does not automatically heal your relationship with food, how self-compassion can help you move out of shame and self-sabotage, and what it looks like to work on identity, coping patterns, and emotional resilience while using GLP-1 medications. This conversation connects the physical effects of medication with the inner work that helps change actually last.

SPEAKER_00

When we look at people who are emotionally resilient versus people who aren't, so we know that highly traumatized humans are not emotionally resilient. And we know this because of the ACE score. So when we look at the ACE study, the adverse childhood experiences, people who are highly traumatized not only lack the skills, not only lack the emotional resilience, they also are more at risk for health issues.

Welcome to the GLP One Hub Podcast. I want to welcome Jessica Brown. Today we are going to talk about the emotional pieces of this GLP1 journey. So, Jessica, can you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your professional background?

SPEAKER_00

Hi, Anna. Thanks for having me. So I'm Jessica Brown. I'm a clinical nutritionist. I'm also a Stanford certified compassion educator and teacher. So I have a clinical nutrition practice, but I also work a lot in the coaching area to teach my clients self-compassion and have a lot of GLP1 clients wanting to know how self-compassion can help them on their GLP one journey. Okay. And oh, I also just wrote a book, uh Beyond the Shot, which is uh how to inner work for people on GLP1 medications.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. My ebook is also called Beyond the Shot. I think we connected on that. So it's about nutrition, it's more focused on nutrition, not so much the mental health part, but yes. Yes, great name. We're right aligned right here.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Thanks for having me though. Yeah. So talk to me. What does self-compassion mean? I don't think I'm very self-compassionate. I'm gonna be honest about that.

SPEAKER_00

It turns out that there's been over 3,000 studies on self-compassion, and humans are in general not compassionate. It is an easy-to-learn approach that shows kindness towards yourself, even in the midst of suffering. And so there's three components to self-compassion, which was coined by Dr. Kristen Neff. So it's mindfulness, self-kindness, and common humanity, all blended together to really let yourself go through hard experiences, but not be so hard on you. So it's that typical experience of let's say you cut somebody off in traffic. Self-compassion says, hey, everybody makes mistakes. It's okay to let yourself off the hook. Humans are, you're a bad person. And so self-compassion is both an effective cure to shame, which is really rampant in food communities and even in maybe in the GLP one community. So it's an evidence-based skill set that everyone can learn to be kinder to yourself, not let yourself off the hook necessarily for behaviors, but to be kind to yourself while you're going through hard times.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So the lack of self-compassion, when you say that to me, is the I won't understand something or I'll do something wrong, or you know, I'll send a typo in an email and I'll say, oh my God, I'm just so dumb. I can't get this right. Like, why would they hire me? I can't believe I did that. And like I have a lot of shame around that and a typo. I mean, I feel like everybody's made a typo. Everybody's made a typo.

SPEAKER_00

So how would we hold ourselves to we hold ourselves to an unrealistic standard? And I loved how you just said, I'm dumb. So that's where humans usually go. We blame ourselves instead of blaming that maybe we just were doing the best that we could. Maybe we just didn't have the skills. Maybe we just didn't see that everybody makes a typo, and it doesn't mean that you're dumb. And so it separates the behavior from the person and that everybody deserves kindness, everybody deserves love. All humans are really capable of showing this to themselves. The reason why we're talking about it, why I wrote the book is because it's especially rampant when we've had issues around not being able to lose weight or feeling like we don't have enough willpower, or being shamed or bullied growing up and thinking, oh, I was just made wrong, you know, or if I was just different, then people would love me, or I would be worthy. And so it really is the perfect bridge for the experience that a lot of people who are going on these medications have been experiencing for decades and decades often to help them really meet where they are with all the progress they're making on these medications.

SPEAKER_01

So if you hear yourself saying that, you know, saying I'm not worthy or saying I can't believe I'm not losing weight or whatever's whatever that self-talk is, like how do you stop it?

SPEAKER_00

Well, the best way to stop it, but what I teach my clients is to take a little bit of time to unpack it. And I have all my clients write out their struggle story. So our struggle story is something that we've all had that really helps us understand what happened to us and what we believe about ourselves from what happened to us. And so we know, for instance, that overweight kids in schools, um, it's the top reason that they get bullied. And so for a lot of people who are going on GLP1 medications, if we just took that, the very biggest reason why kids get bullied in school, they were to write out their struggle story. They might see that when I was in third grade, all of the popular kids decided that I was going to be the center of their bullying. And when I was shoved out of my friend group or I wasn't picked to be on the volleyball team, then I decided that I was a failure. And so we know now that when we write our struggle story, it helps us understand what happened to us and when we decided very big and incorrect things about our worthiness. Self-compassion, of course, corrects that incorrect data that most of us have from really big things happening in our life. We got fired from a job. We thought maybe it was me, maybe I wasn't friendly enough. You know, we have our uh sometimes people, spouses cheat on you. Maybe I'm not pretty enough. And so self-compassion is really a skill that everybody can learn that helps distinguish what you decided from your struggle story so that you can realize that you were actually just trying the hardest you could with all of the information and skills that you had. And we know that this is really important because people who practice self-compassion are healthier, they live longer lives, but the biggest thing, they have higher emotional resilience, which means that the next time something hard happens to you, you have the skill set to get through it more effectively and with healthier skills and not be bogged down with things like depression or anxiety.

SPEAKER_01

Does that make sense? So when you you write that story, is it kind of like you start seeing what the actual facts are rather than the story? Because you start looking for evidence. If you think I'm dumb, you start being like, oh, remember that time that I did that other typo, or remember that time that I said something wrong, or you know what I mean? You start looking for evidence to like collect about that story that you've told. So is that would that be the next step?

SPEAKER_00

Or so once you figure out what happened to you and what you believe, then you can start effectively learning the skills of self-compassion, which is bringing in the understanding that you were doing the best that you could with the skills that you had at the age that you were. And when we start doing that, we start softening the beliefs. See, uh, I think people underestimate how big beliefs are. If we decide that we're unlovable or that we were born into the wrong body, or no matter how hard we try, we're never going to be enough. That actually shapes our reality. And it sort of becomes like the law of how we see ourselves in the world. Self-compassion has been shown to really effectively soften that so that we have a bigger skill set. Yep, that really hard thing happened. I was let go of that job. And before I would have blamed myself, but now I realize that it actually was a set of other circumstances that I didn't even realize. And so we start to have a separation for that. And what that means is more peace, more happiness, and higher emotional resilience.

SPEAKER_01

So for GLP one users specifically, some of which have lost significant amounts of weight or like completely different people on the outside, what does that look like? Like what are some of the things they should be doing to maybe get to a better place emotionally?

SPEAKER_00

Well, any kind of emotional work is gonna help. So if it's joining a support group, if it's getting a therapist, if it's practicing self-compassion, those things are all approaches that people can use that really help. We know now that people who have emotional support on a GLP 1 journey, not only do they have better sustained weight loss, they actually have more weight loss, which I found to be one of the most surprising uh pieces of my own research to come forward. There's a really interesting study, I believe it was done in 2018, and they took people with type 2 diabetes who are on GLP 1 medications. It was over 300 people, and what they found was that people who did cognitive behavioral therapy while they were on a GLP 1 medication actually lost more weight than people who just were on a GLP 1 medication. And so things like that, where I know that people want to have the best experience that they can. We know all of the big ones like prior to prioritizing protein and lifting weights and not losing lean muscle mass, those things are really important. But I think cognitive behavioral therapy just kind of goes to the wayside. And we know that under 20% of all GLP1 users are actually getting emotional support for their journey. And so we have evidence now that it really helps. It helps you sustain weight loss, it helps you lose actually more weight. And very few, two in 10, are actually getting support to start unpacking some of the really hard things, the stories that we have from growing up perhaps in a body that was going against what our own specific goals were. Sure. Which was to maybe to be happy, successful, and healthy.

SPEAKER_01

If you're taking a GLP1 medication, you've probably noticed your appetite is a lot lower, which often means your meals are smaller, and that's fewer chances to get in the nutrition that your body needs. This is why what we choose to snack on becomes so incredibly important. One snack I like to recommend is Harvest Snap's lightly salted baked veggie snacks. They're made with green peas as the first ingredient and deliver five grams of whole food protein and four grams of gut-friendly fiber, essential and satiating nutrients to support your healthy weight loss goals. These real veggie crisps are crunchy, savory, and satisfying straight out of the bag, and also pair great with things like hummus, cottage cheese, or meat stick for an extra protein boost. Plus, they're minimally processed and free from common allergens, including gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy. If you'd like to try them, head to harvestsnaps.com and enter the code SNAPS15 at checkout for 15% off your order now through June 30th. What is it about the cognitive behavioral therapy that's helping? Is it like lowering cortisol or being able to stick with your plan better? Or like what is it specifically that the cognitive behavioral therapy can help with?

SPEAKER_00

So it is doing all of those things. So it's actually lowering cortisol, like you said. It's helping build emotional resilience, which is when hard things happen, we have the skills to handle it. It's also helping us change the belief system that we sit in. So we move, we can actually move from I'm worthless and nothing good ever happens to me into we all have hard things happen to us, that common humanity piece that I was talking about with self-compassion. And so we know that therapy helps us unwind traumatic events that have happened to us so that the trauma isn't shaping our life and the way that we see ourselves in the world. Our own goals that we want for ourselves, happiness and peace, become the center point when we start unpacking all of these things, which I think are is great.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, definitely. I mean, I think that in working with obese people for many years, I saw that there was a lot of expectation that the weight was going to come off and the other issues were gonna be fixed. And that was not the case many times. You know, the husband was still a jerk and the job was still not going well, and all these other issues were still there. And so I do think that the therapy thing is an important piece of the journey or getting some kind of emotional support. Yeah, all these expectations. When I'm a size two, they're gonna invite me. When I'm a size two, I'm gonna get whatever.

SPEAKER_00

Probably one of the biggest and most unspoken pieces of people's GLP one journeys, as you mentioned that, you know, which is just because our bodies change does not mean that what we believe about ourselves changes. Sometimes it does, but that these things are deeply held in our unconscious. And when we go on GLP one, the GLP one journeys, as powerful as these medications are, they're not powerful enough to change what it is that we believe about ourselves. And so I encourage all of my clients is take the journey to understand what it is that you believe about yourself, especially because so many people feel less food noise. For the first time, they often feel hope. They often feel like they have mental clarity, mental space. And so take that time to enjoy it, but then also use it in the best way possible, which is create the life that you want, not just in your body, but in your emotional life, in your personal life, you know, in your professional life.

SPEAKER_01

So I've seen you say a couple of times uh in some of our email communications about reparenting. What does that mean? And what like where how does that fit into this whole thing?

SPEAKER_00

So I use self-compassion and reparenting together because reparenting is the idea that we can be the love and the safety that we never got. We can learn the skills to be the safe island in the sea of chaos. And reparenting is simply the idea that we can be deeply caring to ourself no matter what has happened to us and no matter how long ago it actually happened. And so I, again, it's another skill that people can learn. And I really walk people through step by step of how to do this in the book in um tidbits that I feel like are not overwhelming, of exercises and meditations to really help unpack how to reparent yourself in a very easy way. One of the best ways I like to explain reparenting is if you were to imagine that as an adult, you went to your friend's house and they had a child who was learning how to ride a bike. And we all remember, people who ride bikes, how frustrating it is to learn how to ride a bike. And reparenting is this idea that we can actually be the kind, supportive person as we're learning how to ride a bike, that when a kid falls off a bike, they get scared, they are unsure they can actually do it. Maybe they're they skin their knee. And reparenting is this idea that a child who is going through something that's hard or challenging can go sit on a parent's lap and they they can rebalance. They can their emotional system can re- uh, I don't know what it what I'm trying to say. The word is I'm lost in the word. Recalibrate, maybe can feel recalibrate. Thank you. They can recalibrate until they feel confident enough to go back out and try riding their bike again. But for many of us, if we think about riding a bike, we maybe didn't have parents who were there for us. We maybe had trust that was broken. And so we didn't have a safety net, like that recalibration parent that helped us so that we felt confident to go through things. Reparenting is this idea that we can learn how to be the safety that we never got. And those are skills that you can learn one by one. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So, like what are some of the ways to do that? You mentioned meditation. Yeah. Self-talk therapy, like what are some of the skills?

SPEAKER_00

Developing mantras for yourself. So when you write your struggle story and you figure out what it is that you believe, you can go through your list and you can say, Wow, I was eight years old when I got bullied and I didn't have anybody advocating for me, but I was just an eight-year-old trying the best that I can. So oftentimes just rewriting the story in a compassionate voice helps so much. But we usually don't take the time to do it because we don't think it is really part of the journey that we're having right now. We can't possibly think that I have a husband who isn't supportive of me. Maybe that's because I didn't feel supported when I was growing up as a child, and I have a belief that I was never really worth anybody's time. Those beliefs are still alive and they're still true and they're still operating from the unconscious, creating the laws of how we see our life. And so reparenting and self-compassion together allows us to kind of unpack it. So one is is we change how we talk to ourselves from being mean to kind. That takes practice. Visualization is one of the best forms. So we can actually visualize something hard that we have gone through and imagine what it would have been like if I had gone through that hard thing, but I was there for myself. And I have a very effective visualization that I teach in my private practice and that I teach in the book called Placing the Loving. If we had just had a loving presence when we had gone through something really challenging and difficult, we actually would not have decided the horrible things that we did, which at the time seemed like the only way to make sense of trauma. And that's the big thing. When we decide something horrible, like I'm not lovable, I'm not worth anybody's time, we make those things up very innocently because we think that is the only thing that adds up. That's the only thing that makes sense to me when I'm younger. And so we can learn these skills to sort of unravel that and decide something different.

SPEAKER_01

And does that involve any like journaling or other than writing a story?

SPEAKER_00

Or yeah, journaling works, you know, w writing the struggle stories, like a form of journaling. Sure. I have my clients go through hard things that happen to them and they I have them actually write how all the things that they believed as a result of it because we have big ones that happen, usually about our worth and our lovability. And so almost all of these things that we're talking about, Anna, have to deal with our ability to be loved and our ability to be worth anything. Worth people's time. And so when we write these out, sometimes, I mean, I've done these exercises where I have 20 horrible things that I started to believe about myself as a result of my parents' divorce, as a result of my mom not raising me, as a result of being bullied, as a result of losing weight on a fad diet when I was 10 years old, and all of the attention that I got for the wrong reasons. You know, and so little things and big things can cause mass amounts of things that we believe about ourselves. So therapy, journaling, writing out what it is that we believe, doing meditations, creative visualizations, all of these things are free and really effective ways that people can change the narrative that they're living in, which is a really great way of being on a GLP one, I think. Sure. Look at have you changed your narrative.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And I think that a lot of things come up, you know. Like I said, as you start to lose weight, you don't realize that it wasn't the weight that was the problem. Like you thought it was the 50 pounds. Almost every time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Almost every time. Especially because when we look at we live in a society that is not only bullies children for what they look like, but that for women, we are penalized for living in better bodies. We're penalized financially. We're penalized with not getting promotions. And this is still happening today. And so we can think, wow, I got passed over for promotion at work. And it might be devastating for people. And these things, you know, uh still are alive and well.

SPEAKER_01

So how do you work through some of those societal things, right? Because there are external judgments and pressures and things like that. Like how do you square that?

SPEAKER_00

Well, when we look at people who are emotionally resilient versus people who aren't, so we know that for instance, highly traumatized humans are not emotionally resilient. And we know this because of the ACE score. So when we look at the ACE study, the adverse childhood experiences study that was done, people who are highly traumatized not only lack the skills, not only lack the emotional resilience, they also are more at health, more at risk for health issues. And so when we look at this, we know that emotional resilience seems to be the key. And, you know, we look at like, well, of course we want to be at a job where we're treated well. How do we, how do we know that we're at a job where being treated well? Emotional resilience. How do we know we're in a relationship where we're being treated well? We look at our emotional resilience. And so emotional resilience is really a great yardstick for what you're willing to put up with, what you think your value is, and the courage to change it. And so that's this piece why I love why self-compassion and reparenting work so well together is that you look at you didn't do anything wrong and you were doing the best that you could, and you have the ability, complete toolkit that lives inside of you because that's what self-compassion is built on. All people are born with hearts. And if you're born with a heart, you have the toolkit to start doing this work and that will help your life from the inside out. We keep looking for external validation. Once I lose the weight, then people will love me. And we know that that is actually just not true.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. So where when I think about self-compassion, I'm a super type A person. Me too, yeah. And that being nice to myself feels like I'm just gonna then be like, just lay in the bed today because that's the nice thing for me to do for myself. That's a great self-compassion piece. Right. But that's not that's not what my type A self needs wants to say. So how do you balance self-compassion and like being kind to yourself and taking, you know, a break or taking, you know, considering your feelings versus like your goals and aspirations and dreams, like where is that balance?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we don't want to get stuck. And so uh you're kind of bringing up a really good point, which is for instance, if you have somebody close to you or like you have a pet die, you want to take the proper time to work through the emotions, but not get stuck. And so what we want to do then is is start to be diligent with looking at being kind to let ourselves, to have a healthy life cycle of emotions that are really appropriate for what we're going through. And this is why people bring me in is they often don't know if they are have crossed that threshold of getting stuck. And what you can do is is start looking at, I ask very pointed questions for my clients about what it is that they believe and why. You know, and so for instance, if if you're laying in bed and you're wondering, has this crossed the threshold? Am I stuck? One is is to be kind to yourself because everybody gets stuck. So even in that capacity, we want to say self-compassion actually works. Well, let me bring in some help so that I can have a kind and loving person who is not judgmental, help me understand. Is there something else that I could be doing that could help me get unstuck? You know, because all I want to do is lie in bed all day. And so this piece here is build the emotional resilience to understand when it is that you're actually thwarting growth and you're stuck, or you're allowing yourself to have the proper healthy time to go through a very normal thing.

SPEAKER_01

That makes sense. That makes sense. So it's like finding that balance. It's not always gonna be perfect.

SPEAKER_00

It's a fine art of balance, right? And so we we say that for a good reason. Mm-hmm. Definitely.

SPEAKER_01

If you are a person either starting on your GLP1 journey or going along the way, what are some where can you look for support like this? I mean, obviously you have your your practice, um, but where else, like what type of professional might help with this kind of work?

SPEAKER_00

So you can always look for a trauma-informed therapist. Um, so the trauma-informed therapists are really skilled at helping you, if you've had a lot of trauma, pack what has happened to you and learn the skills of kindness. Also, self-compassion trained therapists is something that I really encourage everybody to really search out. But also, you can learn these skills on your own, which is the coolest piece. So there's a lot of people, for instance, me, um, you know, I have free meditations on Insight Timer that anybody can listen to that start helping you understand what it is that your inner eater believes. And so in my book, I talk a lot about your inner eater has decided something based on your experiences in life, and that becomes the law. And your inner eater sticks to it. And self-compassion, when we teach our inner eater self-compassion skills, then we go through life in a body, whether it changes or stays the same, whether we're on a GLP one or not, that is going to be a little bit more compassionate towards the choices that we make and the things that happen to us. And so you can find a therapist, you can buy a book to start practicing it on your own. There's lots of people on social media that give you skills of how to do this. But essentially you have to decide that you want to be kinder to yourself. And that's probably one of the most important things. Decide that you want to be kinder, and then the world is going to respond. I think the universe responds to that call to action that we make for ourselves. Instead of me thinking that I'm in a fight against the world because I don't feel like I'm worth anybody's time or love, I'm going to decide that I'm actually worth kindness and my own kindness and taking the journey to look at what it is I but what it is that I believe because some hard things have happened to me. And it's impacting how I see myself now, even though I have I'm in a change body on a GLP.

SPEAKER_01

Right, right. So tell us about how the book walks people through that.

SPEAKER_00

Every chapter I have a quiz and an exercise. And I start out from the very beginning. Um, and I use client stories in every single chapter, which I think really help. Um, you know, what did what to do if insurance cancels your GLP one medication? What to do if you face a stall, and I think that's one of the bigger ones, is people are on these medications and they're so frustrated and they think, what am I doing wrong that the medication isn't working? I teach people how to navigate that place that they find themselves in. Or I feel different on the outside, but I'm still feel the same on the inside. What should I do? And so every chapter leads the reader through a different level of self-compassion and reparenting.

SPEAKER_01

I think that those are like those three things that you just said are like huge issues that I see. The huge what am I doing wrong, you know, and like this isn't working, or I lost my I lost my insurance. Like there's a there's a lot that I'm picking up on just in the community about like it's kind of like an anxiety, like a real stress around it. And I I I don't have training in that, you know, as a dietitian. So it's like it it feels very anxious to me. So I'm glad that somebody like you has resources to help people do that.

SPEAKER_00

And that's important because when we have emotional resilience, it is fights effectively against that anxiety. And it both helps us understand why we have the anxiety and how not to self-persecute or go into a shame spiral if we have the anxiety about that part of our GLP one experience. I think it's one of the most overlooked aspects. And I want everybody to know there are tools that you can learn that don't take years in order to help navigate your way through that because it is very real.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, absolutely. Awesome. Well, how can people find out more about your work, Jessica?

SPEAKER_00

So all of my social media is called The Loving Diet. So I'm on Instagram, I'm on TikTok, I'm on YouTube, I have a website called The Loving Diet, I'm on Facebook. And so if you just search The Loving Diet, and then also the book Beyond the Shot, which is available everywhere. I also have another book called The Loving Diet. So that this is actually my second book, but you can find me on all social media platforms.

Thank you so much for being here. This is such an important conversation and it's it's really deep. And I feel like that's the piece that's missing. You know, I can talk about nutrition till I'm blue in the face, but it's that underlying anxiety that I'm feeling, you know, in my community that that really needs to be addressed.

SPEAKER_00

There is help. This is this is the kind of help that is specific for GLP1 users because I feel like it is a little bit nuanced. And so I have found it's very effective. So thank you for having the conversation. It's such an important one to have.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no problem.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you.

I think that this is a not much talked about situation and issue, the emotional part of the weight loss, really, really important, and having compassion for yourself as well.
