In this episode, Stephanie breaks down a recent Tik Tok comment:

“It’s a hormone issue - you have to stay on GLP-1s forever.”

With millions of people using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, it’s no surprise that many are wondering what really happens when you come off. Stephanie explores the science, the psychology, and the truth behind long-term GLP-1 use - including why most people can’t (and shouldn’t have to) stay on them for life.

You’ll learn:

How GLP-1s work in the body and brain

What clinical studies show about weight regain after stopping

Why “hormones only” is an oversimplification

How to manage appetite, mood, and mindset when coming off

Evidence-based strategies to support your mental health and eating patterns post-GLP-1

If you’re on a GLP-1, considering one, or transitioning off and struggling with hunger or emotional eating - this episode will help you understand your body and brain without guilt or fear.

After struggling with bulimia and binge eating for 8 years, Leyla reached a turning point. Through her time in the Food Freedom program, she not only began healing her relationship with food but also discovered that undiagnosed ADHD had been influencing her struggles all along.

In this episode, Leyla shares her powerful journey of recovery - how she broke free from cycles of restriction and bingeing, and the tools that helped her finally feel in control of her eating and her life. If you’ve been battling binge or emotional eating, or you’re simply ready to create a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food, this conversation may be the inspiration you need to take your first step.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses eating disorders. Please listen at your own discretion and seek support if you require it.

I joined Mamamia’s The Quicky News Daily to talk about life dysmorphia — that distorted feeling when your life, success, or happiness never feels “enough” even if it looks good on paper. A must-listen if you’ve ever questioned whether you’re really where you “should” be.

Are you so fixated on your own body that you’re missing what’s happening around you?

In today’s episode, I want to share a poolside conversation I had with a woman I met on holiday. It turned into an unexpected lesson about two things:

1. Why labelling yourself as having a “problem” like sugar addiction often distracts from the basics you’re missing.

2. How obsessing over your body can actually block you from connection, opportunity, and action.

Imagine living every day terrified that you or someone near you might vomit. Not just disliking it, but reorganising your life around avoiding it: skipping meals, dodging social events, even avoiding pregnancy or travel. This isn’t just a quirk or “sensitive stomach” it’s a phobia known as emetophobia. Today, we’ll explore where it comes from, how it’s classified in psychology, and what science says about overcoming it.

@Where Does the Word Come From?

@How Does Emetophobia Develop?

@Is It a Disorder?

@How Do We Know It’s Real?
