The Midlife Edit

Midlife Nutrition Made Simple Part 4: Intuitive Eating, Ditching Food Guilt & Navigating GLP-1s with Confidence

Jen Weinstein Season 1 Episode 10

 Episode Summary: 

Let’s be real: after years (or decades) of dieting, calorie-counting, and food guilt, it’s hard to just “listen to your body.” But in midlife, that’s exactly what so many of us need. 

In this empowering episode of The Midlife Edit Podcast, we’re breaking down what intuitive eating actually looks like — and how it can coexist with tools like GLP-1 medications for women looking to reclaim their relationship with food. 

Jen is joined by Ashley Durbin, CRNP, a certified nurse practitioner in obesity medicine and GLP-1 provider, for an honest, positive, and non-judgmental conversation about supporting your body, your goals, and your well-being.  

In This Episode, You’ll Learn: 

✨ What intuitive eating really means — and what it’s not
✨ Why midlife is the perfect time to break up with food guilt
✨ How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can help reduce food noise
✨ Why intuitive eating and GLP-1s don’t have to be “either/or”
✨ How to find a sustainable, judgment-free approach to nourishing your body
✨ Encouragement for women considering GLP-1s — minus the shame
