Episode 14: Kim Shapira
Redefining “Healthy” – Kim Shapira on Gut Health, Eating What You Love & the Six Rules That Actually Work
This week, Dr. Nigma sits down with celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and bestselling author Kim Shapira, M.S., R.D., to unpack the mindset, science, and simple truths behind a healthier relationship with food.
In a world overloaded with “wellness hacks” and diet culture, Kim offers something radically different: compassion, common sense, and science-backed steps that bring the joy and freedom back to eating. Drawing from her book This Is What You’re Really Hungry For, Kim introduces her six simple rules to reset your health from the inside out—without guilt, restriction, or shame.
Whether you’re burned out from yo-yo dieting, struggling with emotional eating, or just ready to feel better in your body, this episode will leave you with practical tools and a more loving perspective.
