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.

Trigger warning: If you’ve battled an eating disorder, this conversation may stir emotions. But it’s also an invitation to explore your journey with kindness and compassion.

We talk about:

• How Ali found truce from food
• The role of belonging and attachment in turning to alcohol and food
• Why 50% of Ali’s clients are sober- the overlapping struggle between overeating and drinking
• Ali guides me through exploring my challenges with food (this gets personal)
• Two powerful questions to navigate cravings
• And more
