## Resource

I talked with Dr. Pamela Keel about her new study exploring the biological underpinnings of binge eating. We discuss how weight suppression affects key hormones—GLP‑1 and leptin—and how those changes can reduce satiety and drive binge eating. Dr. Keel explains what this means for understanding urges, recovery, and weight restoration—and we also discuss the potential role and risks of GLP‑1 medications in treatment.
