About this episode

Send us Fan MailWhat 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. Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/416Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:Episode 395: I Was Wrong About Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro with Dr. Taylor BruesekeCharles Duhigg's books:The Power of Habit: https://amzn.to/4f0clzKSmarter, Faster, Better: https://amzn.to/44RhfdBSupercommunicators: https://amzn.to/4vSH0pQ
