Is Food Noise Just Hunger We’ve Been Conditioned Not to Trust? A RDs Honest - Yet Controversial Take

Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re taking a deep dive into “food noise” and whether we’re starting to pathologize normal hunger, cravings, and thoughts about food. We unpack the many factors that can drive food preoccupation, from appetite and reward pathways to genetics, restriction, rigid food rules, and eating disorders, plus why GLP-1 medications may quiet food noise for very different reasons. Most importantly, I’m sharing seven questions to help you understand where your own food noise may be coming from and whether quieting it is actually improving your relationship with food—or simply making it easier to eat less. #foodnoise #GLP1 #Ozempic #dietculture #intuitiveeating #eatingdisorder #nutrition 👩🏼‍💻 RESEARCH LINKS: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41387-025-00382-x.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01941-w https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15930436/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39649010/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.70090 — DISCLAIMER:The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.
