Food Noise, Ozempic and the Drug-Free Solutions NO ONE is Talking About

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re unpacking “food noise” — the constant mental chatter around food, from planning and negotiating to guilt and compensation. While not a formal diagnosis, it’s an experience many people struggle with. In this solo episode, I break down the psychological and physiological drivers behind food noise, how medications like GLP-1s may help suppress it, and practical, non-pharmacological strategies to quiet the noise in a more sustainable way.
