416: What GLP-1s Actually Do to Your Habits with Charles Duhigg

What if GLP-1s could do more than change your appetite, and they could actually create an opportunity to change your habits? In this episode, I’m joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and The Power of Habit author Charles Duhigg for a fascinating conversation about GLP-1s, food noise, dopamine, and the science of habit change. We unpack what happens in the brain when GLP-1s quiet cravings, why they may create a temporary “habit window,” and how to use that window to build behaviors that can actually stick. Whether you’re considering a GLP-1, currently taking one, or have no plans to use one, this episode will change the way you think about willpower, food, exercise, and lasting behavior change.
