Episode 183: GLP-1 Medications, Food Noise, and Binge Eating Recovery (with Marcus Kain)

Kathryn welcomes back Marcus Kain for a thoughtful conversation about the increasing use of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) in the context of binge eating recovery and weight loss. They discuss the significant risks—especially for those with a history of restrictive eating—while also acknowledging that some individuals have experienced benefits when these medications are used cautiously under medical supervision.

This episode is not to provide medical advice or promote the use of any medication; it’s an honest, nuanced discussion about a complex and evolving topic. Kathryn and Marcus hold space for differing perspectives and emphasize that full recovery is absolutely possible and unique to each individual.
