Episode Description

We explore weight set point theory through a recovery lens and show why hunger, cravings and weight shifts are protective signals, not personal failures. We share practical reframes, science on the hypothalamus, and steps to stabilize, rebuild trust and quiet food noise.

• what weight set point means and why range matters
• how the hypothalamus defends survival and energy
• reframes that turn fear into protective truth
• genetics and individual weight diversity as blueprint
• the difference between set point and settling point
• why weight gain and redistribution can be healing
• risks of weight suppression and chronic dieting
• common fears about endless gain and health
• practical steps to stabilize cues and trust
• time, consistency and support as recovery fuel
