  484-Intuitive Eating and GLP-1: 15 Clinical Considerations 06.08.2026 1h

  GLP-1 clients are already in your practice. The question is whether you have a clinical framework for what comes next. After the Beyond GLP-1 series and months of supervision conversations with my mentoring students, I compiled the list that keeps getting longer: 15 clinical considerations every non-diet practitioner needs when working with clients who are on GLP-1, thinking about it, or coming off it. This is not a position statement. It is a framework built from what I am seeing in the field right now. What you will learn:How GLP-1 disrupts hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues — and how to coach each oneWhy the food noise that goes quiet on GLP-1 comes back with a vengeance when the medication stopsWhy body image work is non-negotiable and why I am predicting a body image crisis in 2027The bridge analogy and the one coaching question that opens everythingWhy group coaching is the wrong container for this workWhat post-GLP-1 coaching actually looks like, including the first six weeksMy answer to the episode question: yes, butMentioned in the show: Thursday Sessions- Free training (Until Sept 2, 2026) - https://program.stephaniedodier.com/thursday-sessionsNDCC - Registration - https://stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Free Intake assessment Forms - https://stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentBeyond GLP-1 series - https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1

She is in the room, every day, holding both a weight-neutral framework and a patient who wants a prescription.This conversation goes into what that actually looks like in practice.What you'll learnWhy the rise of GLP-1 felt like a step backwards for weight-inclusive medicine, even to a practitioner who believes in itThe shared decision-making framework she uses before ever discussing medicationWhy rapport has to outrank advocacy if a practitioner wants to stay in the room long termWhat she is already seeing: early adopters starting to come off the medicationWhere she believes weight-inclusive care is headed over the next five to ten yearsMentioned in the show:Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1Dr. Lesley Williams website: http://www.lesleywilliamsmd.comDr. Lesley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DrLesleyW/Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

  479-Beyond GLP-1: Food Noise with Dr. Erin Knopf 02.07.2026 57min

  Food noise isn't a diagnosis. It's not a brain disorder. It might be the most cleverly marketed word for something that's been happening to diet-culture survivors for decades.Dr. Erin Knopf is triple-board certified in pediatrics, adult psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry, and she specializes in eating disorders. In this episode of the Beyond GLP-1 series, she breaks down what food noise actually is in the brain, what GLP-1 medications do to it, and why silencing it with an injection is not the same as healing it.What you'll learn:The clinical definition of food noise — and why it's really hunger shaped by restriction and shameWhat GLP-1s actually do in the brain to quiet food preoccupation (and what that doesn't solve)Why there are only two published papers on food noise and no validated tool to measure itWhat 'body noise' is and how it shows up differently from food noiseWhy Dr. Knopf is deeply concerned about GLP-1 use in children and adolescentsMentioned in the show:Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1Dr. Erin Knopf's Food Noise Reality Roadmap: https://foodnoiserealityroadmap.com/VERY | Virtual Eating Recovery: https://very.healthDr. Knopf on Instagram: @drerinknopfResearch: Food noise — concept and measurement (Nature, 2025): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41387-025-00382-xResearch: Food cue reactivity framework (PMC, 2023): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10674813/Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

  478-Beyond GLP-1: What Informed Consent for GLP-1 Actually Looks Like with Dr. Michelle Tubman 25.06.2026 51min

  Nobody screens you for disordered eating before prescribing a GLP-1. That is not an accident. It is a gap in the entire informed consent process, and it is the subject of this conversation.I talk with Dr. Michelle Tubman, an emergency physician, about what informed consent for GLP-1 medications should actually include and rarely does.In this episode you will learn:What Michelle sees in the emergency room after patients start GLP-1 medicationsWhy most people never connect their symptoms back to the medicationWhat the two-year Ozempic study actually found about weight regainWhy disordered eating screening is not required before a GLP-1 prescriptionWhat true informed consent would require, modeled on how oncologists handle chemotherapyMentioned in the show:Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1Dr. Michelle Tubman Community: http://enough.wayzhealth.comDr. Michelle Tubman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wayzahealth/Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

  477-Beyond GLP-1 Series: Anhedonia & Health Behavior Change in the Ozempandemic Era 18.06.2026 48min

  GLP-1 medications are changing how people experience food. What no one is telling you is they may also be changing how people experience everything else.In this episode I sit down with Olivia Palmer, chartered health psychologist and behavioral science specialist, to look at what these drugs are actually doing to the brain. Not the metabolic picture — the psychological one. We get into anhedonia, the flattening of the reward system, and what happens when the drive that was dampened for food also dampens motivation, connection, and the desire to pursue a meaningful life.Olivia also challenges one of the most common arguments circulating right now: that GLP-1 can serve as a behavioral kickstart that makes lasting health change easier. Her read of the behavioral science says otherwise.In this episode:What anhedonia is and how GLP-1 interacts with the brain's reward circuitryWhy the reward dampening effect is not selective to foodWhat behavioral science says about building health behaviors while biology is alteredThe gap in research — and why no one is asking the right questionsWhat to actually focus on for sustainable health behavior change, with or without GLP-1Mentioned in the show:Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1Website-Olivia Palmer: http://oliviapalmer.co.ukOlivia Palmer Substack: https://substack.com/@oliviapalmerhealthInstagram - Olivia Palmer: https://www.instagram.com/oliviapalmerhealth/Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

She has spent her career studying how weight stigma operates at the individual, relational, and systemic level. In this conversation, she brings her research lens directly to the GLP-1 moment.This is the conversation mainstream health is not having.In this episode, you'll learn:Social identity theory — why the GLP-1 era exposed what body positivity was always missingWhat weight stigma actually is at the structural level, and why interpersonal niceness cannot fix a systemic problemThe public health data on GLP-1 that is buried in supplementary materials and not being readHow medicalized weight stigma is shifting — and why refusing GLP-1 is becoming its own form of clinical targetWhether it is possible to live in this culture and not internalize weight stigma, and what intentional protection requiresMentioned in the show:Beyond GLP-1 Expert Podcast Series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1International Weight Stigma Conference: https://weightstigmaconference.com/GLP-1 Informed Consent Resource — Size Inclusive Medicine: https://sizeinclusivemedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/MSSI-GLP1-Informed-Consent-1-1.pdfRelated episode — Beyond GLP-1 with Ragen Chastain: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/episodes/glp-1-science-research-weight-loss/Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

  The reason the non-diet approach didn't work isn't the approach. It's that the work stayed too surface level.Most weight-neutral health coaching teaches behaviors. It doesn't touch identity. And without identity work — without building the version of yourself you are becoming — the old patterns always come back.

  Your clients are going to bring GLP-1 into the room whether you are ready or not. The only question is whether you have a clinical framework for it. In this episode, I sit down with Sam Previt — registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and founder of Find Food Freedom, the largest intuitive eating dietitian practice in the US — for the conversation our field has been avoiding. We go through what this intersection actually looks like clinically: how GLP-1 affects hunger, fullness, satisfaction, food noise, and body image — and what weight-neutral coaching looks like inside all of it. Sam's team is already seeing the first wave of clients coming off these medications. The work you do with clients now determines what happens when they do. What you will learn:Why turning away a client on GLP-1 who wants intuitive eating support may be unethicalHow GLP-1 disrupts interoception and what that means for eating cue coachingWhy food noise on GLP-1 is a muted symptom — not a solved problemWhat body image work looks like with a client still pursuing intentional weight lossThe beach ball effect: what happens when clients come off without having done the belief workHow to prepare clients for life after GLP-1 before they ever make that transitionMentioned in the show:Sam Previte: Find Food Freedom:https://find-foodfreedom.com/about/Episode on Sam's podcast that sparked this conversation (February 2025): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/can-you-take-a-glp-1-on-an-intuitive-eating-journey/id1561021438?i=1000751327153Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner/Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessmentNon-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork
