In this Medicspot guest lecture, Suzanne Laurie, midlife coach and nutritional therapist, explains how blood sugar balance and food language can make or break your long-term success with GLP-1 treatment.
This is Part 3 of Medicspot’s Emotional Eating Series, exploring the science and psychology behind lasting weight-loss success. Suzanne reveals how balanced eating patterns and the words we use around food can either calm your relationship with eating — or keep you stuck in a restrict-binge cycle.
What You’ll Learn
Why blood sugar balance is essential for energy, mood, and appetite control
The science behind glucose spikes and crashes — and how they drive cravings
How GLP-1 medications reduce hunger but don’t retrain natural glucose rhythms
The hidden signs of blood sugar dysregulation: fatigue, brain fog, irritability, cravings The restrict-binge cycle — and how to break it with steady nourishment
Three practical dietary shifts for stable energy and appetite
How your language around food — “good” vs “bad,” “cheat day,” “being good” — shapes guilt, cravings, and binge behaviour
Ways to replace judgmental language with calm, balanced, food-neutral language
Why It Matters
GLP-1 medications are powerful tools for weight management — but they work best when paired with balanced nutrition and self-compassionate mindset shifts. Restrictive eating, skipped meals, or “all-or-nothing” food rules can destabilise blood sugar and trigger emotional or binge eating, undermining progress. Suzanne shares practical, science-based tools that help you find balance without restriction — keeping your body fuelled, your mind calm, and your motivation steady.
Remember: Food is food. Nourishment, comfort, and pleasure are all part of a healthy relationship with eating.
