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.
New episodes every other Wednesday.

285. How to Stop the Sugar-Anxiety Feedback Loop with Dr. Ellen Vora [Best Of]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not eating the right foods for our unique bodies creates anxiety. This anxiety shows up as a felt sense of anxiety AND also “needing something more” to eat but not knowing what that is or a general feeling of being unsatisfied with what they just ate.
To help us go into depth and teach us about this sugar-anxiety feedback loop, I’ve invited a holistic psychiatrist and my friend Dr. Ellen Vora onto the show. In this episode, we will discuss:
- Real and false anxiety
- How and why sugar creates anxiety
- Clean eating versus nutrient-dense foods
- Dr. Vora’s top foods to add in for reducing anxiety and sugar in one’s diet
- Caffeine’s role in anxiety and how to end your coffee habit
Mentioned in this episode:
- Read Dr. Vora's book, The Anatomy of Anxiety
- Ali’s Breakfast Experiment
