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.

309. What Feels Good Right Now: Ending Emotional Outsourcing with Beatriz Victoria Albina [Part 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, Beatriz Victoria Albina returns to Insatiable for part two of our conversation on ending emotional outsourcing — the habit of looking outside ourselves for validation, safety, and worth.
In this episode, we explore the practices that help you come back home to yourself: tuning into your needs, regulating your nervous system, returning to your body, and reclaiming your center.
It all begins with one simple but powerful question: What feels good right now?
Join us as we explore what it means to live from that place of connection and self-trust.
We discuss:
- How to reconnect with your biological impulses
- Functional freeze and how to feel your feelings (not think them)
- Why wellness is not about coffee enemas or random supplements
- The dangers of emotionally outsourcing to wellness professionals
- How we’re trained to prioritize productivity
- Somatic practice and praxis
