I'm thrilled to bring you the powerful, perspective-shifting stories of two recent participants in my Truce with Food group program. In this deep dive conversation, we explore the idea of restriction as a moving target, not just in our food struggles, but throughout our lives. This reframing of restriction is a concept we also work through—in a supportive group setting and with effective tools—in my upcoming Why Am I Eating This Now program that launches in September.
If the conversation in this episode ressonates with you, be sure to sign-up for the waitlist to be included in an upcoming FREE masterclass. In the Why Am I Eating This Now? program, we'll also unpack why the same hard work and discipline that has gotten you so far in life often backfires when you try and apply it to your eating and what’s really happening when your food discipline disappears in the moments when you feel like you need it most. 12 WEEKS. MASTER COACHING. GROUP SUPPORT. Learn more
Among the Questions Explored:

How can "being in choice" begin to loosen the feeling of restriction?
What does the often repeated HALT tool miss?
How can the TAIL tool help you begin to dampen food noise?
How do our upbringing and early food struggles show up in our present-day lives?
While this work isn't therapy, how can it still be therapeutic?
How can we begin repairing trust in ourselves for sustainable transformation?
How can midlife be viewed as a deeper calling?

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of dieting and frustration? Why do your best efforts with food seem to fail when it matters most? Is it possible that your food struggles are about something deeper than food itself? In this episode of Wits & Weights Podcast, host Philip Pape explores the deeper roots of food consistency with Insatiable’s own Ali Shapiro!

293. Is Your Eating a Problem or a Portal? 20:58

for 13 dage siden20:58

20:58

Here at Insatiable, we’re all about providing the education you need for perimenopause, menopause and aging. I mean, we did a whole season on it , and it's obviously been my own focus since going through early menopause a couple of years ago. But I'm starting to notice something alarming in terms of what we're not talking about — which is what these hormonal shifts mean for our stress and how this changes what works for our energy after 40. So this week, we’re diving into the often-overlooked topic of how hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause impact our emotional stress resilience. Because, did you know that the drop in estrogen and progesterone as we age removes a physiological stress buffer for cortisol? This means that the stress we're used to handling might now leave a mark on our energy, mood, and food choices. So if you’re experiencing stress and food struggles in midlife, tune in to this episode to learn about: The exhaustion-fueled cravings cycle that I see with clients Why our relationship with food and our relationship with stress go hand-in-hand Emotional stress resilience in menopause and beyond Stories from the real-life women I support about how to overcome burnout, comparison, and overeating And if you appreciate this episode, get on my list to be the first to know when my Your Emotional Eating Blueprint: Why Am I Eating This Now? course is open for registration in early April !

289. Three Things I Most Often Hear from You When Considering Truce with Food & FREE BREAKTHROUGH SESSION THIS WED. (Jan. 8th)! 28:21

for 15 weeks siden28:21

28:21

After nearly 300 episodes of the Insatiable Podcast , I know you likely understand food challenges intellectually —now it's time for real change. Join me, Ali, for a FREE breakthrough session that will transform your relationship with food. This Wednesday (Jan. 8th) at noon EST, I'm hosting Stop the Quick Fix Cycle: Why Band-Aid Solutions Make Emotional Eating Worse (and How to Actually Get Results). In this episode, I briefly address 3 of the things I most often hear from people considering Truce with Food: 1) "I've tried everything" – Learn why emotional safety and belonging are the missing pieces. 2) "I know what works; I just can't stick with it" – Discover how unmet emotional needs, not willpower, affect your consistency. 3) "If there were a solution, I would have found it by now" – See why knowledge isn't enough and why you've been looking in the wrong direction (along with most of the nutrition and fitness industry) At this free breakthrough session, we'll dive deeper into these three beliefs and you'll hear direcly from past participants who've achieved sustainable and lasting transformation with their relationship to food. And you'll learn how to set transformational goals (and how they're different from traditional health and weight loss goal setting).

I’ve shared on the show before that starting menopause radically changed my body.

As a cancer survivor, I’ve always felt like aging is a privilege. But now in my mid-forties, I’m learning firsthand that perimenopause, menopause and midlife bring their own set of body image issues and health concerns. My clients ask me questions like: Should I lift weights to stay strong? Is it normal or OK to gain weight in midlife? Will I ever sleep through the night again? How do I focus on my health and not get caught up in vanity yet still want to look good for my age? I hear you! And we all know that we can’t trust anyone on Instagram to give us the answers. So in today’s episode, Dr. Jannine Krause joins me to talk about the free, simple things you can do to support your body as you age. Because you don’t have to “go downhill” as is often the default expectation, and you can take control of your health as you get older. We discuss: Jannine’s path to Naturopathic medicine Body image issues in perimenopause & menopause How to approach calorie restriction & the problem with extreme calorie deficits Diagnosing stomach acid issues & H. pylori Simple steps to heal your gut without supplements Why we need to pay attention to insulin sensitivity as we age What to do before you start fasting or biohacking Protein intake recommendations & sustainability How rest & recharge in a minute or less More about our guest: Dr. Jannine Krause is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and host of The Health Fix Podcast specializing in helping women over 40 not age like their mothers or society.
