Your GLP-1 Bestie

Why Am I Still Hungry on a GLP-1?


Listen Later

Started feeling hungry again on your GLP-1 and wondering if your medication has stopped working?

You’re not alone.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound is that you should never feel hungry. But the truth is, hunger is a normal biological signal—and experiencing hunger doesn’t automatically mean your GLP-1 isn’t working.

In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna explains why appetite can change throughout your GLP-1 journey, what influences hunger beyond your medication, and how to tell the difference between normal hunger and something that may deserve a conversation with your healthcare provider.

We’ll discuss:

  • Why it’s normal to feel hungry on a GLP-1
  • Whether your medication can “stop working”
  • The difference between hunger and food noise
  • Common reasons your appetite may increase
  • How under-eating can actually make hunger worse
  • The impact of stress, sleep, hormones, and daily routines on appetite
  • When increased hunger may be a reason to talk with your healthcare provider
  • Why learning to trust your body’s hunger cues is part of long-term success

If you’ve ever worried that feeling hungry means you’ve failed—or that your medication isn’t doing its job—this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening and how to respond with confidence instead of fear.
