14) GLP1 Files Part 5: Do GLP-1 Medications Increase Disordered Eating Risk? A Dietitian Explains
Episode notes
In this episode, we cover:
- Food noise isn't one thing, it can come from under-eating, blood sugar swings, or psychological patterns, and GLP-1s only address some of those root causes
- When food noise goes quiet quickly through medication, it can bring up identity disruption, grief, or old coping mechanisms resurfacing in new forms
- Appetite suppression can quietly reinforce disordered eating patterns, especially for anyone with a history of dieting, restriction, or body image struggles
- Genuine support means psychological screening and ongoing check-ins as standard care, not just tracking weight and blood sugar numbers
