What GLP1s Miss in Emotional Eating Recovery
In this episode, Alana dives into the timely and nuanced conversation surrounding GLP1 medications, which are being marketed as game changers for appetite regulation and weight loss. Alana unpacks the physical benefits that many women (and men) experience with these medications, but she also shines a spotlight on what often gets overlooked: the emotional patterns and triggers that persist even as the weight comes off. Through client stories and her own insights, Alana explores the gap between physical transformation and emotional healing, highlighting issues like the borrowed willpower effect, the identity gap, and the grief that can emerge when food’s role in our lives shifts. Listeners will learn why sustaining weight loss goes beyond the number on the scale and requires true emotional integration, self-trust, and mindful rituals.
