What's Eating You Podcast with Clinical Psychologist Stephanie Georgiou

“Every year, alcohol is responsible for more than 3 million deaths worldwide - that’s one person every 10 seconds.

Yet, for many, it starts innocently: a glass of wine after work, a drink to take the edge off, until one day it’s not a choice anymore… it’s a need.”

@What does the journey into alcoholism often look like, how does it sneak up on people?

@What were the warning signs in your own story?

@Why is it so hard for people to admit they have a problem?

@What actually helps someone recover and what doesn’t?

@For those who love someone struggling with alcohol when should they step in, and how can they help without enabling?

@What role does community or connection play in staying sober long term?

@Life after alcohol really look like what changes

In this episode, Stephanie breaks down a recent Tik Tok comment:

“It’s a hormone issue - you have to stay on GLP-1s forever.”

With millions of people using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, it’s no surprise that many are wondering what really happens when you come off. Stephanie explores the science, the psychology, and the truth behind long-term GLP-1 use - including why most people can’t (and shouldn’t have to) stay on them for life.

You’ll learn:

How GLP-1s work in the body and brain

What clinical studies show about weight regain after stopping

Why “hormones only” is an oversimplification

How to manage appetite, mood, and mindset when coming off

Evidence-based strategies to support your mental health and eating patterns post-GLP-1

If you’re on a GLP-1, considering one, or transitioning off and struggling with hunger or emotional eating - this episode will help you understand your body and brain without guilt or fear.

I joined Mamamia’s The Quicky News Daily to talk about life dysmorphia — that distorted feeling when your life, success, or happiness never feels “enough” even if it looks good on paper. A must-listen if you’ve ever questioned whether you’re really where you “should” be.

Are you so fixated on your own body that you’re missing what’s happening around you?

In today’s episode, I want to share a poolside conversation I had with a woman I met on holiday. It turned into an unexpected lesson about two things:

1. Why labelling yourself as having a “problem” like sugar addiction often distracts from the basics you’re missing.

2. How obsessing over your body can actually block you from connection, opportunity, and action.

Imagine living every day terrified that you or someone near you might vomit. Not just disliking it, but reorganising your life around avoiding it: skipping meals, dodging social events, even avoiding pregnancy or travel. This isn’t just a quirk or “sensitive stomach” it’s a phobia known as emetophobia. Today, we’ll explore where it comes from, how it’s classified in psychology, and what science says about overcoming it.

@Where Does the Word Come From?

@How Does Emetophobia Develop?

@Is It a Disorder?

@How Do We Know It’s Real?

@What Can You Start to Do to Overcome It?
