EPISODE 113: The End of Dinner Dates? How GLP-1s Are Rewriting Human Connection

Apr 28, 2026

Coach Steph and I start with a Reddit post from a 54-year-old woman re-entering the dating world. She went out with three different men… all on GLP-1s.

 

They ordered food, took a few bites, boxed the rest, and left her feeling disconnected, starving, and wondering if this is the new normal.

 

We unpack the bigger cultural shift happening right now and exactly how it’s affecting women like you whose love language is sharing meals.

 

Here’s exactly what you’ll walk away with and use immediately:

 

• Why mismatched appetites can feel so uncomfortable (and what it’s actually triggering)
• The difference between physical hunger vs. mental hunger (this changes everything)
• How GLP-1s are quietly reshaping social norms and what that means for you
• The hidden fears and insecurities showing up around food (on both sides)
• Simple, actionable ways to feel confident in social eating situations... starting today

 

This isn’t about eating less or “being good.”

It’s about understanding your brain, your habits, and how to stay grounded no matter what’s on your plate... or someone else’s.

 

If food has ever felt like the thing that makes or breaks your connection with others, don’t skip this one.
