Food noise is dominating the cultural conversation — but it's not a new phenomenon, and it's not a disease. In this Coach Corner episode, Stephanie Dodier breaks down what food noise actually is, what causes it, and how health professionals can coach clients through it using a Cognitive Behavioral Coaching framework — no pharmaceutical intervention required.
Health professionals will learn how to address food noise at all three levels: the cognitive (food rules), the somatic (eating cues including the often-missing satisfaction cue), and the identity level (untethering food from body size).
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why food noise is a signal from your body, not a malfunction to be silenced
- How diet culture created the problem GLP-1 is being sold to fix
- The cognitive tools to dismantle food rules driving the mental chatter
- Why the satisfaction cue is the most overlooked piece of the puzzle
- Why body image work is a clinical prerequisite — not an add-on
