Changing Your Body, Understanding Your Story : A Conversation With Lucy Cavendish
Episode 3
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
Send a textWhat happens when weight loss becomes… easy?In this candid conversation, I sit down with a fellow therapist and friend Lucy Cavendish who has been taking Mounjaro (a GLP-1 medication) and has experienced significant weight loss. We explore the undeniable benefits of these injections — reduced appetite, quieter food noise, and the relief of finally seeing the scale move.But we don’t stop there, we ask the deeper questions:What role did emotional triggers play in the weight gain to begin with?What happens when the injections stop?Can changing your body change how you feel about yourself?And how do we prevent old coping mechanisms from creeping back in?This episode isn’t anti-medication. It’s about integration.GLP-1s like Mounjaro can be powerful tools. But sustainable change often requires understanding the story behind the weight — the stress, grief, trauma, burnout, habits, identity shifts — and making sure those triggers aren’t waiting quietly in the background.If you’re considering these injections, currently taking them, or navigating weight loss while working on your relationship with food and your body, this episode will help you think beyond the scale.Because sometimes losing weight is the easy part.Understanding it is the real work.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe
