8 min - Turning down the food noise, with Dr. Nina Crowley
In today's episode, we're exploring the phenomenon of “food noise,” how it relates to our overall health and weight management, and some ways to turn down the volume.
Dr. Nina Crowley is a registered dietitian as well as a doctor of psychology–affectionately known to her friends and colleagues as the “Psycho-dietitian.“ Nina has years of experience working in the field of bariatrics and as an educator and advocate against weight stigma and bias–much of which is rooted in mistaken beliefs and erroneous thinking about the nature of this disease.
Some of the topics included in our discussion:
- Four dimensions that distinguish “food noise” from run-of-the-mill cravings
- How this phenomenon is experienced by people living with overweight and obesity
- The impact of weight loss medications on food noise
- Biological mechanisms of GLP-1 agonists, including their effects on gut hormones and brain regions related to reward and motivation.
- Stigma and misconceptions associated with obesity and the use of medications.
- How even a short break from persistent, intrusive thoughts opens a window of opportunity for more lasting change
- The role of behavioral and nutrition support in the medical treatment of obesity
- Behavioral strategies for managing food noise

About Nutrition Diva
From the publisher's feed
Nutrition advice has never been easier to find. Knowing which advice you can trust has never been harder.
Every day brings another headline, social media trend, or viral nutrition claim…
telling you what to eat, what to avoid, or which supplement will change your life. Much of it sounds convincing. Much of it isn't supported by the evidence.
Nutrition Diva helps you separate nutrition science from nutrition myths so you can make confident decisions about your health.
Each week, Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, translates evidence-based nutrition into plain English, breaking down the latest research and explaining what it really means for your everyday life. Instead of sensational headlines and fad diets, you'll get practical nutrition guidance you can understand—and use.
Whether you're trying to build healthier eating habits, lose weight, improve metabolic health, support healthy aging, or reduce your risk of chronic disease, every episode helps you make smarter nutrition decisions with confidence.
Topics include healthy eating, balanced diets, gut health, probiotics, supplements, vitamins, weight management, intermittent fasting, Mediterranean and high-protein diets, food labels, processed foods, cholesterol, inflammation, diabetes prevention, heart health, longevity, and the latest nutrition research.
You'll also hear Monica break down popular wellness trends, explain emerging nutrition science, evaluate supplement claims, and separate food myths from nutrition facts so you can spend less time wondering who to believe and more time building healthy habits that last.
Regular features include listener questions, myth busting, fact vs. fad, and expert interviews exploring the science behind the nutrition questions people ask most.
If you're looking for nutrition science you can trust—and practical guidance that fits real life—subscribe to the Nutrition Diva.
