Mike sits down with Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom and one of the biggest names in digital behavior change, and Nick Allen, CEO of Sunnyside, for a conversation about food noise, alcohol noise, GLP-1s and naltrexone, and the new science of comprehensive behavior change.

Geoff has led Noom since 2023 as the company expands beyond weight management into a broader model that blends personalized psychology with modern medicine, while Nick is building Sunnyside around a similar idea in alcohol: that lasting change takes more than willpower alone.

Together, they unpack what happens when the “noise” gets quieter, how medication can create a powerful window for change, and where behavior change, moderation, and modern digital care may be heading next.
