Episode Description
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.
