Navigating Food, Body Image, and GLP-1 Medications: An Interview with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C

Therapists are seeing more clients struggling with confusing medical advice, new medications, and diet culture messages that impact their relationship with food and body. In this conversation, Curt and Katie talk with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C about how therapists can examine their own biases, support clients navigating restrictive medical guidance, and encourage healthier, more intuitive approaches to eating.

About Our Guest: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C

She is a contributing author and is a nationally and internationally known registered dietitian nutritionist. She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Vogue.

Key Takeaways for Therapists

  • Therapists must examine their own food and body biases to avoid unintentional harm to clients.
    • Many physicians have minimal training in dietetics and may give inadequate advice.

    • Clients can advocate for themselves in medical settings, including refusing to be weighed.

    • GLP-1 medications may reduce appetite but can cause malnutrition, fatigue, and bone/muscle loss.

    • Intuitive eating offers a path back to a healthier, more trusting relationship with food.
