244. I Want to Want to Eat Healthy Artwork

Truce with Food with 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.

Did being gluten-free used to feel easy and now it feels depriving? Or maybe you’re burned out and getting back in shape sounds great but feels too much. Or like me recently, you’re on a roll and then you fall off track. To the untrained eye, there’s a willpower and discipline problem. Yet when you understand the connection between emotional satisfaction and food freedom, you can unlock powerful energy and motivation to eat well – and like it.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. How knowing your “Why Not” is more important than “Know Your Why”

2. How bad eating and exercise habits are protective

3. What your emotional immune system is and why it matters to our food and health

4. How our stories cause us to eat out of control

5. The connection between safety, emotional satisfaction and our food choices
