Truce with Food with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC
Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC
You've done Weight Watchers. Therapy. The functional medicine workup. You know more about nutrition than most people. And yet, you still can't make it stick. So now you're wondering if you're just the problem.You are not the problem. The framework you needed—that integrates real, lasting change—just never showed up, so you keep blaming yourself instead.Truce With Food® is a podcast for women in perimenopause and menopause who are exhausted from emotional eating, binge eating, overeating, and food noise taking up more space in their lives than they ever wanted. If you're eating when you're not hungry, can't figure out why what used to work no longer does, or just want a real conversation about your relationship with food and your body, you're in the right place.Host Ali Shapiro is a holistic nutritionist, cancer survivor, and creator of the research-based Truce With Food® framework that’s also built on 19 years of real client results. She healed her own relationship with food and has spent nearly two decades helping other women do the same through honest conversations about food, psychology, physiology, and why showing up with a C+ effort gets you further than any plan that demands perfection ever will. And how the real work is to be counterculture and trust in satisfaction, not more discipline. New episodes every other Wednesday.

119. Food, Body and Our Moms with Bethany Webster
We all have a Mom and a body. And we’ve all grown up under patriarchal conditions that tell us women are less than men. This reality can create quite a tangled web of body image and weight issues, no matter how great your relationship is with your Mom. But, according to Bethany Webster, a pioneering coach and writer, it’s not the body image and weight issues we need to address. Rather, we are struggling with what Bethany calls, the Mother Wound. Learn what the Mother Wound is, how it’s connected to seemingly disconnected issues and how you can start better mothering yourself today.

118. Thinness, Beauty, and Power with Dr Polly Young-Eisendrath
Last year, the book; Woman and Desire Beyond Wanting to be Wanted by Dr. Young-Eisendrath came into my life. I honestly can't even tell you how it happened. It's a book that's about 18- years-old, but after I read it I was like, “She is on my bucket list because you insatiable listeners would love her expertise in which she explores in that book and in her work."

117. Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong with Journalist Angela Saini
I sat down with Inferior author and science journalist Angela Saini to discuss the cultural myths like “women being better built for parenting” or “women aren’t as sexual as men” that lead to politics damaging to women’s health, overwhelm and not knowing the whole range of ourselves. And when we are overwhelmed and under-fulfilled, we make food choices unaligned with our goals. If you’re looking to understand how science has sexist biases and how that can liberate you to be more of who you really are, without illusionary female “norms”, this episode is for you.

114. Freedom from the Downward Eating Spiral
With the New Year upon us, it’s easy to think things will be magically different. Guess what? They can be if we do things differently. We can start the year with a fresh start, but not necessarily a clean slate. In other words, we still have our emotional selves that we’re bringing to the New Year. Because this season is about the feminine perspective or what’s missing in our conversations, I’m going to be sharing what’s missing in traditional and emotional eating approaches, including binging approaches, so that you can blow your expectations for freedom out of the water in today’s episode.
