Check out https://link.joinbelle.com/oioZ4gP GLP-1 medications change the signals that regulate appetite, so hunger may be muted and fullness may arrive suddenly. Megan explains that hunger has always been shaped by more than stomach sensations, including hormones, blood sugar, stress and past habits, and that intuitive eating has always included structure. She separates body trust from body respect, then walks through four practical anchors for eating when cues are quiet: timing, composition, volume and wider body feedback such as energy, mood and digestion. She closes with how to treat setbacks as useful information and how to pick one anchor to practice this week using the lesson handout.
