GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now — but what is this shift actually doing to our minds, our confidence, and our relationship with food?

In this episode of The Experts Series, I sit down with Dr. Rachel Goldman — psychologist, NYU professor, media expert, and author of When Life Happens — for a conversation that goes beyond the headlines and into the real psychological impact of weight loss culture today.

We talk about:

• Who GLP-1 medications are actually for
• What “food noise” is and why it feels so overwhelming
• Emotional eating — how to recognize it and what’s underneath it
• Mindful eating practices that are realistic and sustainable
• Body acceptance in a world where everyone around you may be changing
• How to protect your mental health when comparison is everywhere

This conversation is honest, nuanced, and necessary — especially if you’ve been feeling the pressure of what’s happening around you.

Dr. Rachel Goldman is a licensed psychologist, clinical assistant professor at NYU School of Medicine, and media expert specializing in health behavior change.
