Description

You've done Weight Watchers. Therapy. The functional medicine workup. You know more about nutrition than most people. And yet, you still can't make it stick. So now you're wondering if you're just the problem.

You are not the problem. The framework you needed—that integrates real, lasting change—just never showed up, so you keep blaming yourself instead.

Truce With Food® is a podcast for women in perimenopause and menopause who are exhausted from emotional eating, binge eating, overeating, and food noise taking up more space in their lives than they ever wanted. If you're eating when you're not hungry, can't figure out why what used to work no longer does, or just want a real conversation about your relationship with food and your body, you're in the right place.

Host Ali Shapiro is a holistic nutritionist, cancer survivor, and creator of the research-based Truce With Food® framework that’s also built on 19 years of real client results. She healed her own relationship with food and has spent nearly two decades helping other women do the same through honest conversations about food, psychology, physiology, and why showing up with a C+ effort gets you further than any plan that demands perfection ever will. And how the real work is to be counterculture and trust in satisfaction, not more discipline.  

New episodes every other Wednesday.

I was six or seven, standing at the end of a diving board with my knees shaking, when my dad made me an offer: “Ali, I will take you to Dunkin’ Donuts if you jump.” I cannonballed in, and the munchkins afterward were pure celebration, with my dad right there in my corner. A few years later, after being bullied in fifth grade, I rode the bus home counting the stops until I could get to the cinnamon raisin bagels in the fridge. Food showed up in both stories, but it was doing very different job...
GLP-1s are everywhere right now, and so are the opinions about them. One reaction I keep hearing is that using them for weight loss feels like cheating. There's frustration with people seemingly getting results without having to work as hard, alongside real concern about the cost of pursuing thinness at any price. Those feelings can be strong, especially if you've taken extreme measures to lose weight yourself. The question is, what might those reactions be protecting? There's often some trut...
You can know what to eat, understand what would support your health, and still find yourself stress eating at night, skipping meals and then overeating, or falling back into old patterns. That’s frustrating when you’re the person living it, especially when you’ve already gotten plenty of information about what you “should” be doing. It can also be frustrating for the health coach sitting across from you, because caring deeply about helping someone can make it really tempting to rush in with a...
A GLP-1 can quiet the food noise and give you hope again. Then you hit a plateau, the food noise starts creeping back in, or you see someone else having a completely different experience. That’s when the old thoughts can show up fast. Here we go again. I’m failing. What’s wrong? Why isn’t this working for me like everyone else? We’ve put GLP-1s into the same magic bullet fantasy we tend to put everything else into. We want the straight line forward and the happily ever after. When that isn’t ...
You finally understand what’s been driving your food struggles. You change how you eat, you feel better, maybe you even think, okay, I’ve got this now. Then months or years later, the cravings come back, your body changes, or you find yourself eating when you’re not hungry again. It can feel like all that progress disappeared and you’re somehow back at the beginning. After more than 10 years of this podcast and 330 episodes, what I keep seeing is that you may not need another answer. You may ...
