In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from working with clients using GLP-1s over the past two years, who they tend to help most, who struggles with them, and why. I also unpack my own past misconceptions about “food noise,” and why it isn’t always just the result of dieting or poor habits.

For me, absolutely. In this episode, I’m joined by Annabell to talk about the hard decisions that actually helped us move out of binge eating. Changes to environment, identity, habits, and relationships, choices that didn’t feel good at the time, but paid off later. We unpack why avoiding hard choices keeps people stuck, and why facing them, carefully and intentionally, leads somewhere better.

Strong Not Starving on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RHDoNHcNayw If the holidays bring up food noise, binge urges, guilt, or that familiar “I’ll just deal with this in January” mindset, this episode is for you. In this video, I share a few simple, actionable things you can put into practice immediately to help you navigate the holidays and other special occasions without turning them into a spiral of stress and self-criticism. We’ll talk about why arriving starving sets you up for regret, how unrealistic expectations make holiday eating harder than it needs to be, and one of the most important mindset shifts you can make when food and emotions collide. Today’s episode is about how to hold a difficult feeling without letting it hijack the entire day, and remembering that challenging moments with food don’t mean you’ve failed or that the day is ruined. If you’ve ever found yourself over-analysing what you ate instead of being present with the people around you, I hope this helps you approach the holidays with a bit more steadiness, self-respect, and perspective. Happy holidays, and I’ll see you in January!

20 DAY REBOOT INFO EMAILS: https://www.strongnotstarving.com/snsinfo Andrew Jackson and the Barbell Logic Team: https://barbell-logic.com/ Today I’m joined by strength coach Andrew Jackson from Barbell Logic. We talk about why so many people leave the gym frustrated, injured, or disappointed, even when they’re trying hard. We break down the difference between exercise (moving for health and enjoyment) and training (structured work toward a specific goal), why good programming and objective coaching matter, and how unclear expectations can quietly push people toward overtraining, restriction, and burnout. I also share why, despite nearly 20 years in the fitness industry, hiring the right coach was essential for preparing for my recent kettlebell certification with StrongFirst. This episode gets a little nerdy, but the takeaway is simple. If you want movement to support your life rather than control it, clarity matters! Also mentioned, the Strong Not Starving 20 Day Reboot, a free, limited time course to help you feel calmer and more confident around food. Doors open for 24 hours on Friday the 19th.

For anyone who has struggled with binge eating, this is a really important phase to look at with awareness, because the wrong information at this time - maybe from people of professionals who don’t understand binge eating - can cause a slip back into old patterns.

We’ll unpack why self-respect has to be an action first, not a feeling you wait around for, and how to use “opposite action” to break the cycle of chasing worth through achievement, appearance, or control.

Kathryn Hansen, author of Brain Over Binge, joins me today to talk about the rise of weight loss drugs in the binge eating space. If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, binge eating, body image, or the ups and downs of dieting - especially if you're currently on or considering GLP-1 medications - this is an important conversation to hear. Both Kathryn and I work closely with people navigating binge eating, and we’ve seen some clear shifts since GLP-1 meds gained traction as weight loss tools. This isn’t medical advice - neither of us are doctors - but we’re sharing what we’ve observed on the ground, working 1:1 with clients in this rapidly changing landscape.
