Eveyln Tribole on Ozempic and GLP-1s: Why Informed Consent Is Missing, The Dangers of Weight Cycling, and the Neuroscience of Intuitive Eating
Is weight loss truly the path to health? Most of us have been taught that it is, but if you’ve ever felt uneasy about that narrative, there are valid reasons why.
In this episode, we sit down with Evelyn Tribole, co-creator of Intuitive Eating, to unpack why so many of us feel confused, frustrated, or pressured when it comes to our bodies. Together, we explore how diet culture, misleading medical trends, and misinformation have warped our view of health.
You’ll hear why true informed consent is critically missing from today's conversations about GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic, and why that matters for your long-term safety. Evelyn explains how tuning into your hunger cues and developing interoceptive awareness are actually the missing keys to real physical and emotional wellbeing. We also dive into the science of how chronic weight cycling can quietly harm your health more than weight itself.
This conversation reveals how nutrition education should be used to rebuild body trust, not destroy it. If you’ve ever felt caught between taking care of yourself and escaping harmful food rules, this episode offers a new path.
Finally, we discuss why a weight inclusive approach, rooted in frameworks like Health at Every Size and body neutrality, is the secret to sustainable health. Tune in to learn how to finally find peace in your food relationship.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
• Why intuitive eating is about more than just hunger and fullness
• How current weight loss trends are ignoring informed consent
• What your body is trying to tell you through interoceptive awareness
• How to protect your mental health while pursuing physical well-being
• Why respect for all bodies must be the foundation of healthcare
This episode is about reclaiming your agency in a world that profits from your insecurity. Whether you are navigating complex health choices or simply want to feel at home in your body again, we hope this conversation empowers you to break the cycle of suffering and embrace a more compassionate, evidence-based path forward.
Let’s rebrand wellness together!
