Food noise
What a GLP-1 receptor agonist actually does: which receptors it reaches, how it slows gastric emptying, and the satiety pathway it runs through.
What is Food noise?
The patient term for constant intrusive thinking about food.
Most people on a GLP-1 report it quieting within the first four to eight weeks. It is not a formal medical term, but it is widely reported in cohort studies and heavily used in advertising, because it describes the thing people want.
GLP Watchdog writes these definitions from FDA labels and peer-reviewed PubMed literature.
