The Moderate Middle with Ali Shapiro

  Our relationship with food is a life-long relationship. My guest today, Ali Shapiro, reminds us that from conception, food is 'yoked' with attachment and belonging. Her work as a holistic nutritionist and behavior specialist gives Ali a unique understanding of diet culture, body positivity and modern medicine. In her words, each has their 'own flavor of crazy'.  Here are some of the powerful points that Ali and I discuss: How food issues hold us back from real life Food as medicine The backlash against 'wellness' Toxic diet culture (thin at all costs) Her philosophy of "loving my body is doing loving things" Food is the solution, not the problem. Option "C" This conversation is so important, especially in this day and age where women continue to get pulled between body image and body positivity. Ali is a master at mindset and learning to love ourselves first. Her flagship program, Truce With Food, is now open for enrollment.   Full Show Notes HERE including: links to Truce With Food and The Happier Book Study
