Can't stop thinking about food, even right after a full meal? That constant chatter has a name: food noise. I explain what it is, why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound quiet it, and why it often returns when people stop them.
You'll learn the 2 drivers behind it, a simple test to tell real hunger from food noise, and 9 evidence-based strategies to turn it down, with or without medication. Every claim is referenced below.
