Food Noise Assessment
Understand how much food noise affects your daily life.
What This Assessment Measures
Food noise is the persistent, intrusive thinking about food that many people describe before starting a GLP-1 — mental rehearsal of meals, cravings that override hunger signals, and a constant background hum about what to eat next. This 10-question assessment helps you describe your specific food noise pattern: whether it is loud or quiet now, whether it shifts across the day, and how it compares to before medication.
Who Is This For?
Anyone on a GLP-1 — newly starting, mid-titration, or considering coming off. The assessment is also useful if your food noise has returned after weeks of quiet, since that pattern often signals a need to talk to your prescriber about dose, timing, or stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is food noise?
Food noise refers to persistent, intrusive thoughts about food — mental rehearsals of meals, cravings that feel hard to ignore, or a constant background hum about what to eat next.
Does Ozempic stop food noise?
Many people on GLP-1 medications report food noise drops sharply within weeks. The mechanism is not fully understood but appears tied to GLP-1 receptors in the brain’s reward circuits.
Why is my food noise back on Ozempic?
Returning food noise can signal tolerance, dose plateau, or a need to titrate up. It can also reflect life stress. This assessment helps you describe what changed.
Is this a clinical diagnosis?
No. This is a personal reflection tool, not a clinical screen. Use it to inform conversations with your healthcare team.
