Can GLP-1s Affect Food Noise, Alcohol, and Addiction?

** While Kim takes time away following the passing of her sister, we're revisiting some of our most impactful conversations. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and continued support of The Plus SideZ Podcast.

We're sharing this episode because it's more relevant today than when it first aired. Since then, research has expanded interest in whether GLP-1 medications may affect more than weight loss, including food noise, alcohol cravings, and other compulsive behaviors. While the science continues to evolve, so does the conversation.

Licensed therapist and addiction treatment leader Dr. Joy Bracey joins community member Brenda, who shares how Mounjaro changed her relationship with food, alcohol, and smoking. Together, they discuss the brain, behavior, and why this emerging area of research is drawing growing interest.

**In this episode:**

• Brenda's journey with obesity, binge eating, alcohol, smoking, and Mounjaro
• Food noise, binge eating, and emotional eating
• GLP-1 medications, dopamine, and the brain
• Alcohol cravings and addictive behaviors
• Mental health, self-love, and healing
• Why researchers are studying GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss

*Originally recorded during Season 1. This episode reflects the information available at the time of recording. Research and clinical guidance have continued to evolve.
