Episode 17: Lora - Shame Does Not Motivate

Episode 17: Lora - Shame Does Not Motivate

In this episode, I’m joined by therapist Laura Grabow, who has worked in obesity medicine for over two decades, focusing on what she calls “head work” — the emotional and psychological side of treating obesity.

We talk about what GLP-1 medications can do — and what they can’t.

Medication can reduce hunger and quiet cravings. But it doesn’t automatically heal emotional eating, trauma, or shame.

Lora explains why shame doesn’t create lasting change, how emotional eating is often a coping strategy, and why learning to pause, name feelings, and practice self-compassion is essential for long-term success.

Obesity treatment isn’t just medical. It’s mental, too.

Lora is also hosting a 4-week virtual class on this deeper mindset work start March 3rd so head on over to loragrabow.com
