You lost the weight. You hit your goal. So why doesn't it feel like enough?

Maybe this speaks to you. You're taking a GLP-1, you've hit your goal, but somehow now it doesn't seem like enough. Now you want more.

In this episode, Dr. Adrienne Youdim explores the perils and exhaustion of chasing more—and what the practice of weight loss has taught her about our deeper hunger and our lack of satisfaction with ourselves.

What You'll Learn:

The science of "too much weight loss"—What is and isn't possible on GLP-1s and why these medications have a natural ceiling effect
The hedonic treadmill explained—Why your brain adapts to any win and immediately resets expectations for more
How culture capitalizes on dissatisfaction—The cost of living in a world that celebrates "lose more, do more, earn more, achieve more, be more"

"The scale may change… but the mind always is itching for more. This is what psychologists call the hedonic treadmill: We adapt quickly to any win—then reset our expectations." — Dr. Adrienne Youdim

The Three-Part Framework for Reclaiming Enoughness:

Regulate: Celebrate What You've Accomplished

Before: Constantly moving the goalpost, dismissing achievements, staying stuck in "not enough yet"

After: Pausing to honor your wins, recognizing how far you've come, giving yourself credit

Restore: Make Peace with the Plateau

Before: Viewing stability as stagnation, equating plateau with failure, addiction to constant forward motion

After: Understanding plateau as integration, adjustment, and real life—a place to actually live in your achievement

Reframe: Redefine "More" as Depth, Not Quantity

Before: Chasing more in numbers—pounds lost, hours worked, goals achieved, control over your body

After: Pursuing more as deeper presence, greater alignment, joy in simple moments, emotional freedom, connection to your body

The Practice:

Today, pause and ask:

"What am I really chasing?"
"What would enough look and feel like—for me?"
"And how can I give myself permission to arrive there?"
