    468-Beyond GLP-1: A Triumph Of Marketing Over Patient Care With Louise Adams

    The drugs have been sold as a miracle. The science has been quietly shaped by the companies profiting from them. And the deaths are not yet being called a scandal. Clinical psychologist Louise Adams co-authored a paper that has already been read more than 7,500 times in its first ten days. She joins me to trace the three-pronged pharmaceutical marketing strategy behind GLP-1 drugs, follow the money through conflict-of-interest research, celebrity spokespeople, and government lobbying, and tell us what real informed consent would actually require. In this episode you will learn: The 2015 Novo Nordisk marketing roadmap that predicted everything we are living through nowWhy many obesity researchers are now functioning as pharmaceutical sales representativesWhat weight cycling is and why it is missing from the GLP-1 conversationWhat a health professional's informed consent process should look likeWhy Louise is cautiously optimistic that GLP-1 research will inadvertently strengthen the case for weight inclusive medicine in the next decadE Mentioned in the show: Listen to the entire Beyond GLP-1 podcast series: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/beyond-glp-1 Louise Adams' paper: GLP-1 medication for weight loss, a triumph of marketing over patient care -- https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21604851.2026.2646492 Louise Adams -- meet Louise and her work: https://untrapped.com.au/meet-louise/ Louise Adams' newsletter and podcast All Fired Up: untrapped.com.au Ragen Chastain's Weight and Healthcare Substack: weightandhealthcare.substack.com AWIM GLP-1 Informed Consent document: https://sizeinclusivemedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/MSSI-GLP1-Informed-Consent-1-1.pdf HAES Health Sheets: https://haeshealthsheets.com/ Non-Diet Coaching Assessment Tool: stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment The Groundwork waitlist: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

    467-The Grey Zone: Why It's So Hard Yet So Potent

    Binary thinking is not a character flaw. It is a survival mechanism. And it is the #1 thing keeping women stuck in their relationship with food. In this episode I go into the grey zone: what it is, why the brain defaults to all-or-nothing thinking, and what it actually takes to build the capacity to live in the nuanced middle. What you will learn: Why binary thinking is the #1 cognitive pattern blocking food peace and body image workHow diet culture and systems of oppression use binary thinking to keep women compliantThe CBC three-step framework for separating facts from thoughts and tracing the behavior chainWhy more information will not fix all-or-nothing thinking, and what actually will Mentioned in the show: Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/ Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork

    466-Coach Corner: Journaling vs. Thought Work — What's Best for Diet Mindset?

    Journaling and thought work are not the same thing. And if you've been mixing them up, the change you're looking for may be stalled at the surface. In this Coach Corner, I answer a real question from a Groundwork client who has been deep in the podcast. She noticed I keep talking about thought work and cognitive behavioral coaching, and she asked: is that the same as what I'm doing when I journal? It's not. And knowing the difference changes everything. In this episode you will learn: What journaling is, what the research says, and exactly what it does and does not doWhat thought work is and how it accesses the three levels of thought that journaling cannot reachThe difference between CBT and CBC and which one applies to coachingHow to decide which tool to use with your client based on where they are in their journeyWhy CBC is the evidence-backed gold standard for body image and eating behavior change Mentioned in the show: Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/ Groundwork Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment

    465-Body Image Perfectionism

    You've been doing the body image work. So why are you still having " bad body image days?" Because the goal was never to stop having them. In this episode, I'm breaking down body image perfectionism — the belief that if you heal enough, do the work long enough, follow the protocol closely enough, you'll arrive at a place where your body never bothers you again. That's not healing. That's perfectionism with a wellness label on it. I share the DM conversation that sparked this episode, real examples from my own life — including a chronic pain flare up and a feminist graphic tee that didn't go as planned — and what body image healing actually looks like when it's working. What you'll learn in this episode: What body image perfectionism is and why it's keeping you stuckWhy body neutrality — not body positivity — is the actual goalWhat it means to ride the body image experience instead of chasing perfectionismHow chronic health conditions and healthism feed the same perfectionism trapWhat health professionals must understand before coaching body image effectively Mentioned in the show: The Body Image Coaching Immersive: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/body-image-coaching-mentorship-immersive/ Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/

    464-The Oscillation of Body Image: Why Healing Is a Spiral, Not a Straight Line

    Bad body image days aren't failures. They're the mechanism. Stephanie teaches the healing spiral and why oscillation is how real body image work actually moves forward. In this Coach Corner episode, I teach two concepts that created a light bulb moment inside the first session of The Groundwork: the oscillation of body image and the healing spiral. These are not abstract ideas. They are the reframe that changes how you coach, and how you live in your own body. What you'll learn in this episode: Why healing is a spiral, not a straight line, and what that actually looks like in practiceWhat oscillation means and why the hard moments are the most healing phases of the journeyHow to coach clients through "setbacks" with curiosity instead of judgmentWhy bad body image days are a skill-building opportunity, not evidence that something went wrongThe onion layer your clients don't expect: why body image work always leads to self-worth Mentioned in the show: The Body Image Coaching Immersive: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/body-image-coaching-mentorship-immersive/ The Groundwork: https://program.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Client Assessment Tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/
