You don't need more willpower. You need a different relationship with your urges.

In this episode, I talk about one simple technique that can help women in menopause handle food cravings differently. Inspired by conversations around GLP-1 medications, I explain what these medications appear to do for food noise and how you can begin creating similar awareness without relying solely on medication.

I break down why urges start with thoughts, how those thoughts create feelings in the body, and why many cravings feel stronger than they really are. Most importantly, I share a practical exercise you can use immediately the next time you find yourself reaching for food when you're not physically hungry. Enjoy the show!
