Food Noise: What It Is, Why It Happens, and Why It Comes Back

Before GLP-1 medications became widespread, many people lived with what they now recognise as "food noise" - but they didn't have a name for it. They just thought they lacked willpower, were obsessed with food, or had some personal failing that made them think about eating constantly.

People started taking medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), and suddenly reported an unexpected benefit: the mental chatter about food... stopped.
