Food Noise Is Real, and Now We Can Measure It

Obesity researchers Dr. David Allison and Dr. Emily Dhurandhar explain how they defined and built a validated questionnaire for food noise, the persistent and distressing thoughts about food that many patients say disappear on GLP-1 medications. They break down how food noise differs from hunger and cravings, where the research is going next, and why the term came from patients, not pharmaceutical companies.

A quick check: the transcript never states the questionnaire's official name, so I kept it generic. If it has a published title or acronym, dropping it into the description would help with search.
