This is the story of my life! Add in low blood sugar that makes me have to eat and it’s a viscous cycle. I work hard to balance it all and yet that food noise still gets me.

[@judygundlock4035]

I was amazed how Ozempic stopped the food noise literally overnight. It does come back sometimes, though, so I am happy you addressed this and gave us some tips on how to mitigate it.

🥰🥰🥰

[@Septeemberpain]

Thanks for sharing … I’ve been learning so much … I’m also very familiar with food noise

[@kerryb9085]

I’ve had this since I was a child along with regular hunger pains and no satiety. I honestly thought everyone had it and I just had no willpower. It is so enlightening to find this out. Thank you!!

[@theofficialdrdan]

You are definitely not alone!

[@charlotteheadley9736]

OMG you are spot on! I have had this all my life. Good to know it's not just lack of willpower. Thank you

[@theofficialdrdan]

If it was willpower you wouldn't have a weight problem.

[@Ravioliyt]

This is literally priceless information. I have suffered with this food noise for years and it caused me to have pretty bad eating disorders. This food noise has ruined so much for me.

[@theofficialdrdan]

I'm sorry to hear that, friend. With awareness we can now make changes!

[@brandyb8401]

This was really helpful. I will be checking out your other videos.

[@Bepawsitive511]

Thanks for sharing!!! Appreciate you!!

The story of my life, permission thinking…I’m going to try and do this without meds

[@christinajendro2858]

Great video

[@jenniferhorner751]

holy smokes!! this is definitely my head every day !! This is so overwhelming day’s and ya just don’t get the rest of life done .

[@angelarose6602]

Carnivore and Keto diet relieves it after about 2 or 3 days 🙏Of course it comes back if you go off plan...

[@jamicarpenter8760]

Excellent explanation 🙌

[@peggycrowley9534]

Not "almost" but definite intrusive chatter! So far Rybelsus 7mg. and just recently 14 mg. has not given me any relief. Been on it for 1.5 years for blood sugar control. It does help there but constant food noise still exists.

[@laurie2355]

So what types of medication work? Thanks, very informative video.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Check out my other videos!

[@magbelgomez20]

Great video!!! This is a real problem for me, specially in the morning, I can eat half of my calorie intake of my day just in the morning hrs. I do eat high in protein, but it is just so difficult for me to control these cravings at that time of the day. My PCP recommended Bupropion SR. What are your thoughts about this medication for reducing food cravings? Thanks!!

[@theofficialdrdan]

I would keep pumping that protein. Bupropion might help but you'll run into the same issue if you don't keep optimizing your protein intake. 1g per 1lb s of body weight

[@mm22kids]

Metformin took care of this for me

[@theofficialdrdan]

Nice!

[@user-ym8jq7zp7e]

Mine has come back after running out of Ozempic

[@cloakster]

🙁🙁🙁

[@theofficialdrdan]

Yes that makes!

[@tracygill9868]

So i assume regular people don't experience food noise? Haha that's funny. I was trying to tell hubby that ozempic helps with food noise, and he probably doesn't know what that is.

[@theofficialdrdan]

They do! Just might not be as strong or prominent. Males are interesting in this regard - what I find is men often arent dieting or as preoccupied with body/staying on a diet as women. Therefore don't spend as much time thinking about food.

[@nomin6423]

@@theofficialdrdanwhat about ashwagandha?

[@melitapavlinic7302]

What are your thoughts on link between depression, anxiety, eating disorders and the food noise?

[@theofficialdrdan]

I mean they can be entirely stand alone conditions. But at the same time food noise could lead to anxiety. Not so much vice versa. It's more I'm anxious and stressed. Suddenly I'm eating to self soothe. Vs I am anxious/stressed. O now I have food noise. Then I'm eating. If they anxiety is driven by something else that is what you will be ruminating on vs thinking about food. Overall I'd have to sit down and hear the individuals story.

[@ellisgarvin]

The six million dollar question is why is food noise increasing in the population? I've had it since I was about 7 years old and I was a front runner for the obesity epidemic that's hit America. It doesn't matter how healthy I eat, that food noise doesn't go away. So you can't just blame the new generation of junk food that are designed to make us crave them. Something is happening to people's bodies that triggers in some of them this relentless food noise and simultaneously, the inability to feel full through the nervous system. For example I can only feel full through a mechanical process of my belly being overstuffed. If we can figure out what's causing this epidemic of food noise, then we can solve the obesity epidemic and probably a number of other health epidemics.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Who says its increasing? Or are we just more aware of it because people are talking about it? Food noise and biology are nothing new - our processed foods are certainly exacerbating the problem. Unfortunately, solving food noise won't solve the obesity epidemic as many people with obesity don't struggle with food noise.

[@ellisgarvin]

@@theofficialdrdan The data shows very clearly that obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing, as well as most chronic diseases,(including some new ones that no one had even heard of a few decades ago.) Studies confirm that these thing are genuinely on the rise. It is clearly not that people are just more aware of them now. Obesity and diabetes affect metabolism and appetite. The new GLP1 agonist drugs are turning off "food noise" in most people who take it, and not just food noise, but "addiction noise" of all types: tobacco, cannabis, alcohol---even shopping and gambling addiction urges are vanishing. How do you account for that? Because it needs to be accounted for. How do you know that many people with obesity don't struggle with food noise? Most people with food noise are not aware that they have it until it stops abruptly. This is what happened to me and this is what people are saying when they take GLP1 agonists. Their testimonials are pouring in from all sides. This new class of drugs is teaching us something very important about the obesity epidemic, and I don't think you're caught on to it yet. You're still using these outdated models that people just need to manage their stress better, or have a better diet plan, etc. This is not the problem. Wild animals don't need a diet plan to stay slim. Even the really stressed animals with an overabundance of food do not become obese. Humans have been stressed for 300,000 years and there was no obesity epidemic. It doesn't matter if I get rid of junk food, which I have done repeatedly for decades at a time. The insatiability remains no matter how happy and unstressed I am, etc. New shit has come to light, my dude, and it needs to be accounted for you in your model.

[@cindyhughes5069]

I've begun to get alittle flustered with semaglutide.taking 25...and does not curb my appetite much Need to lose 50 to.60 pounds...But it's not curbing my hunger..oh mercy i.dont understand all..Been on semaglutide for 2 months 😢😭

[@cloakster]

.25 is a very low dose.
