The Emma Guns Show

I Can't Stay Out of the Fridge


Listen Later

This week, I’m talking about food noise... That constant chatter about what, when, and how much to eat. The kind that has you circling the kitchen even when you’re not really hungry.

I share how a simple early dinner (yes, an enormous salad out of a mixing bowl) completely quieted the noise in my head, and what that moment taught me about feeding myself properly instead of fighting myself.

As someone in recovery from binge eating disorder, I also touch on how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have changed the conversation around food noise, and what it’s like to re-learn peace around food without them.

It’s about nourishment, compassion, and remembering that healing isn’t linear, but it is possible.

🎧 Listen for:

  • That moment when you’re circling the kitchen, thinking about crisps, and realise it’s not about willpower — it’s about hunger
  • How GLP-1s like Ozempic quiet food noise, and what it’s like to find that quiet without them
  • The slow, imperfect process of relearning how to eat after binge eating disorder
  • Why sometimes peace around food starts with a giant salad at 5 p.m.
