Does a GLP-1 medication actually change 'food noise' for people who also have ADHD, or is that not really studied?

This is genuinely an area where dedicated research is still limited. Most of what's out there is anecdotal reporting from people describing reduced "food noise" (persistent intrusive thoughts about food) while on GLP-1 medication, including some with ADHD specifically noting the quieting effect felt similar to how it's described for general appetite. Since GLP-1 medications act on appetite and reward pathways in the brain, a connection is plausible, but formal research specifically on the ADHD-food noise-GLP-1 intersection hasn't caught up to the anecdotal interest yet, so it's worth treating current claims as early rather than established.

Genuinely quieted the constant food thoughts for me, was honestly the biggest unexpected upside. Can't speak to the mechanism, just sharing what I noticed.
