Truce with Food: The Psychology of Emotional Eating and Your Relationship with Food

by 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. Struggling with cravings, emotional eating, or feeling stuck with food? Find a conversation that meets you where you are.
