What Is Food Noise? A Dietitian's Personal Experience with GLP-1 Medications
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
GLP-1 medications are taking the world by storm, but the conversations surrounding them can lack nuance. That’s why I’m doing a 3-part podcast series with three different dietitians all about these drugs.
ICYMI, we kicked things off with GLP-1 Medications: What Active People Need to Know.
The series continues in episode 138 with Summer Kessel, RD, CSOWM, a Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management and GLP-1 nutrition expert. Summer also has personal experience taking GLP-1s herself, which brings a unique perspective to this conversation.
Summer and I discuss:
- What food noise is, and how it differs from hunger or cravings
- Her personal experience with obesity, weight loss, and taking GLP-1s
- Overlap between food noise, chronic dieting, and disordered eating patterns
- Who should (and shouldn't) be on these drugs
- Risks and benefits of GLP-1 use in different populations
- Why inappropriate GLP-1 use cases shouldn't overshadow people who genuinely need these drugs
- How weight stigma and judgment can make GLP-1 conversations even more difficult
- Why compassion, individualized care, and ongoing professional support matter
I hope this episode helps you better understand GLP-1 medications and the experiences of those who use them. I know this is a controversial topic...questions and feedback are always welcome (claire@eatforendurance.com)!
