Ozempic and "Food Noise"

Elena Kunicki
About this episode

I’m getting annoyed with these posts talking about how weight loss medications like Ozempic are the solution to “food noise”...

 

…with no mention of the fact that SO MANY WOMEN struggle with constant food thoughts and extreme cravings because of chronic dieting, a restrictive mindset around food, and under eating.

 

I WAS ONE OF THEM.

 

And have worked with hundreds of clients who’ve eliminated these nagging, obsessive thoughts about food through learning how to eat enough for THEIR unique needs and healing deeply held limiting beliefs around food and body image.

 

So I decided to do a podcast episode on it.

 

This episode is here to help you make an INFORMED CHOICE about whether or not to take these medications. No pressure or judgment either way. 

 

I try my best to put my biases at the door while helping you identify:

  • How to know if your “food noise” is coming from under eating or a restrictive mindset around food

  • How and why chronic dieting and fat loss phases cause constant food thoughts

  • Health considerations when taking GLP-1 medications to reduce “food noise” or binge urges

  • An alternate approach to addressing the ROOT cause of your “food noise” instead of taking GLP-1s

 

Enjoy and feel free to DM me on Instagram @elenakunickird with any questions!
