470-Beyond GLP-1 Series: Can Intuitive Eating And GLP-1 Coexist? with Sam Previte

Your clients are going to bring GLP-1 into the room whether you are ready or not. The only question is whether you have a clinical framework for it.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Previt — registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and founder of Find Food Freedom, the largest intuitive eating dietitian practice in the US — for the conversation our field has been avoiding.

We go through what this intersection actually looks like clinically: how GLP-1 affects hunger, fullness, satisfaction, food noise, and body image — and what weight-neutral coaching looks like inside all of it. Sam's team is already seeing the first wave of clients coming off these medications. The work you do with clients now determines what happens when they do.

What you will learn:

• Why turning away a client on GLP-1 who wants intuitive eating support may be unethical
• How GLP-1 disrupts interoception and what that means for eating cue coaching
• Why food noise on GLP-1 is a muted symptom — not a solved problem
• What body image work looks like with a client still pursuing intentional weight loss
• The beach ball effect: what happens when clients come off without having done the belief work
• How to prepare clients for life after GLP-1 before they ever make that transition
