Making Truce with Food and Alcohol: Conversation with Ali Shapiro

This conversation with Ali Shapiro was so powerful. We got into some deep stuff about memories tied to food, feeling alone, and how overdrinking and overeating are connected. Ali is the host of the top-ranked podcast Insatiable, a holistic nutritionist, integrated health coach, and rebel with a serious cause. Ali developed TRUCE while in graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, where she drew from her 17+ years of working with real life clients and her own personal healing journey from emotional eating and having cancer as a teenager. Ali’s work and clients’ unique success has been featured in well + Good, mindbodygreen, Prevention, Women’s Health, and Forbes, as well as industry leading podcasts Being Boss, Tell Me Something True, and Food Heaven.
