Welcome to episode 31 of The Culture Of It All! this week we’re exploring the term ‘food noise’. Since 2022, as weight loss jabs have become a casual part of conversation, so has the term ‘food noise’, but what does it mean? What is food noise, and why do some people not experience it? In this episode I’ll be sharing my thoughts about the term, how food noise develops, and ways we can quieten the noise without the use of GLP-1s. There is a content warning and context for this episode at the beginning; please note I will be discussing hunger, appetite, cravings, emotional eating, food addiction and intuitive eating.
