285. How to Stop the Sugar-Anxiety Feedback Loop with Dr. Ellen Vora [Rebroadcast]
Send me (Ali) a text message.Not eating the right foods for our unique bodies creates anxiety. This anxiety shows up as a felt sense of anxiety AND also “needing something more” to eat but not knowing what that is or a general feeling of being unsatisfied with what they just ate.To help us go into depth and teach us about this sugar-anxiety feedback loop, I’ve invited a holistic psychiatrist and my friend Dr. Ellen Vora onto the show.

Send me (Ali) a text message.As a cancer survivor, I’ve always felt like aging is a privilege. But now in my mid-forties, I’m learning firsthand that perimenopause, menopause and midlife bring their own set of body image issues and health concerns.My clients ask me questions like: Should I lift weights to stay strong? Is it normal or OK to gain weight in midlife? Will I ever sleep through the night again? How do I focus on my health and not get caught up in vanity yet still want to look good for

278. How to Better Understand Stress with Andrea Nakayama, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Educator
Send me (Ali) a text message.Stress. We experience it so much in our lives today, yet do we truly understand it? We bring stress to our healing, to our eating, to our health challenges, but how often do we pause to take in the whole picture of what's really going on? How can we begin to tune into ourselves among all the noise out there? How can we start moving through stress more effectively? In this conversation with Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, Andrea Nakayama, we go deep on

274. Reimagining Food and the Body: Ali’s Reflections as a 30-Year Cancer Survivor [Rewind]
In this special Insatiable podcast episode, I celebrate a major milestone: 30 years as a cancer survivor. I’ll share how what resolved my acne, depression, IBS, infertility, and out of control eating was learning how to redefine health beyond losing weight and learning to trust in my body feeling satisfied, not sacrificing and suffering.

272. Alcohol Tipping Point with Deb Masner, RN (Ali as Guest)
Send us a Text Message.I've been on a lot of podcasts lately, but this recent episode with Deb Masner from Alcohol Tipping Point is one that stands out. On her podcast, Deb shares personal stories and her expertise as a nurse, health coach, and sober person, as well as brings on experts about the different ways alcohol can impact physical and mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

271. Over 40 Metabolism Myths with Liz Wolfe, NTP and Certified Personal Trainer
Liz Wolfe has been in the nutrition and wellness space almost as long as I have, so it's hard to believe our paths haven't really crossed until now! This in-depth conversation is a paradigm shift from how we often think about metabolism, which is basically just about calorie burning and boosting. Metabolism—especially at midlife-ish—is about so much more and (news alert!) most of what we've read and been fed about metabolism and aging is either wrong or misunderstood. We also get into what Liz
270. Quitting Alcohol and Managing Sugar Cravings with Laura McKowen [Rewind]
Alcohol is one of the most consumed forms of sugar and quitting alcohol can lead to an increase of sugar cravings and consumption. In this episode, bestselling author Laura McKowen and I discuss:How she stopped eating so much sugar after it initially increased with sobrietyThe relationship between her drinking and history of eating disordersHer process to sobriety, which included recognizing our collective, unhealthy story around alcohol and her most important practiceHow she learned to own her
269. Let’s Get Triggered: Oprah, Ozempic, and Our Outrage
Today’s solo episode grew out of Oprah’s Weight Loss Special Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution that aired on ABC this Monday night. Because it’s network TV, only so much could be covered, which is why I created this episode to go deeper. Most of the people having big reactions to Oprah's weight loss are those who’ve never struggled with their weight (and so don’t understand) OR those who have historically struggled with weight and haven’t yet found the peace they want with their

264. Top 3 Menopause Weight Loss Myths Debunked
In this fourth episode of season 14, I'll help you filter through the perimenopause and menopause nutrition noise by busting 3 top myths. Why? Because most of the common advice out there is recycled diet culture heavily rooted in restriction and one-size-fits-all recommendations (at a time in our life when we require a more individualized approach). Most women will gain weight at midlife, which makes us more susceptible to overblown weight loss and health promises. When I surveyed my list,
263. Sleepless in Midlife? Uncovering Hidden Root Causes with Kelly Murray
In this third episode of season 14, I have an eye-opening conversation around midlife sleep struggles with sleep coach Kelly Murray. Insomnia was my main perimenopause symptom (and I had no idea it was even a perimenopause symptom) and yet, about 60% of women report sleep challenges during perimenopause and menopause. Kelly and I will get into root-causes of poor sleep and how the hormonal changes of this time influence sleep. We’ll discuss the role of blood-sugar and gut health in sleep, how ma
262. Laura McKowen: Navigating Perimenopause, Alcohol, Food, and Midlife's Challenges

Let me tell you, midlife brings some serious changes and challenges on all fronts. In order to address these, in this episode, I provide an overview of the wide
260. Women’s Bodies, Envy, and Scarcity with Elise Loehnen (Part 2)
Elise and I pick up our conversation from part one of her instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. In this episode, we take our conversation further and deeper, unpacking the sins of Envy and Sloth and their effect on women. It’s rare I can talk to someone who understands the various perspectives on body image (including the ones where it has nothing to do with one’s body size) so it was a real treat to go to the depths.
259. Rethinking Food Guilt, Gluttony, and “Goodness” with Elise Loehnen (Part 1)
Annually, Elise Loehnen’s parents would weigh themselves in a vigilant effort to stay within five to ten pounds of their marriage weight. When Elise went away to boarding school, this culture further normalized eating vigilance and restriction as necessary. Then in her early career at Lucky Magazine, where she was often photographed, restricting her food in attempts to be a sample size at 5 ‘10 seemed like the obvious choice to stay on the path of acceptance and “goodness”. Then came a stint as
258. Over 40? What Works Now: Perimenopause and Menopause Food and Exercise 101
Part of what’s been hard for me the last three years was I didn’t understand how drastically the hormonal shifts that start for women around 35 and accelerate in our mid-40s affects ALL THE THINGS.And I’m someone who knows that our physiology and psychology are in a constant feedback loop. Yet because perimenopause and menopause are women's health issues, they don’t get the attention they deserve. Nor do doctor’s really understand them all that well (the horror stories I hear from clients �
257. Alcohol, Food, and Body Image: Push Off From Here with Laura McKowen
While Laura McKowen is known for her work around alcohol sobriety, her first coping strategy was food.Like Laura, I have many clients who come to me where their first “thing” was food. And after getting sober or soberish, their eating issues return or becomes a “thing”.In this special Insatiable episode, we apply the wisdom Laura writes about in her new book to food, body image, and the overlap with alcohol. We discuss:How Laura’s original coping mechanism was bingeing and the overlapping and di
256. Creating Safety for Sustainable Eating and Exercise Results
Dr. Michelle Segar, one of the more progressive health behavioral change experts, says sustainable behavior change with eating and exercise is not a product of rule-following.In other words, trying so hard to perfectly stick to a plan is not an effective goal or strategy. Rather, we need to learn flexibility. Because life is much more unpredictable these days. Anyone like me who sends their child to daycare knows this deep in their bones!We also need to learn how to experiment to see what actual
255. Values-Gap Driven Body Discomfort
When I surveyed my newsletter readers back In the April, a common survey response theme was:“I feel uncomfortable in my body and feel ridiculous that I am focused on this when there is so much else that is so much more important to deal with.”I sooo get this. I felt this way about my own weight struggles in the 9/11, U.S. invasion of Iraq-era. And today’s world issues feel much more urgent and complex.Yet what I’ve discovered is that tending to our body discomfort is not ridiculous. With a holis
254. Food, Stress, and Healing Your Nervous System with Stacey Ramsower
A Truce with Food foundational focus is learning how to effectively respond to the stress that makes you eat. Because we are often reacting to the past when our sense of safety was compromised, which fuels our current stress. For example, I used to binge on sugar during my cancer “scanxiety” season even though it was 15 years later. Because in the past, MRIs did find cancer (and I didn’t know I could ever not turn to food!). Logically I knew I was probably fine. But emotionally I was a wreck.
253. Food, Feeling Fat, and Perfectionism: Protection Strategies with Sil Reynolds
How many times have you thought: why do I self-sabotage with food? If those answers haven’t gotten you very far, I have a much better question for you.“How does my eating protect me?” is a question that will take you far and deep. To guide us with this question and path to your answers, I have the wise Sil Reynolds to talk food, protection strategies, and the root vulnerability in our stories that our food habits are trying, perhaps begging you, to pay attention to. In this expansive, soul foo
252. The Religion of Wellness Culture with Anne Helen Petersen
The Wellness culture we see as we scroll through Instagram or listen to in our earbuds on various wellness podcasts often casts itself as the opposite of Western Medicine. And yet, both industries overlap via the same value system of Puritans and Protestantism. From “clean eating” to failed functional medicine protocols because “client’s aren’t disciplined enough”, Protestantism and Puritanism are alive and well in both industries. This wouldn’t be a problem except these guiding principles aren’
251. The Root Cause of Stress Eating: What’s Eating You?
“How can I stop stress eating? is a frequent question I get asked. In today’s episode, I share a more powerful question that’s necessary to ask - “What’s eating you?” - to get back in control of food. No white knuckling required.I share my own current story work related to my burn-out that caused my body to fall apart (and keep 30 pounds of post-pregnancy weight on), answer some listener questions, and offer some client examples for you to get crystal clear on your own stress eating. In this so
250. Food, Conception + Birth: Safety Origins with Stacey Ramsower
Have you ever thought about your birth? If you’re like most people, you probably haven’t. And yet, as Stacey shares, according to Ayverveda’s Sankyha philosophy, 25% of who we are comes from our conception and birth. This makes safety and food intimately connected and tangled from before we even make our Earth-side entrance. In order to understand food’s connection to safety, we are starting at the beginning. Specifically, our beginnings as we began growing in the womb and then officially made
249. Season 13 Trailer
The past few years have tested each of us. We’ve been immersed in Grief. Loss. Relationship fissures. Children’s developmental concerns. Money stress. And these individual challenges are nesting dolls of the escalating war on women’s bodies, caretaking, and the Earth. With this, it’s not surprising that stress and stress eating are at an all-time high.In the American Psychological Association's pandemic anniversary surveys, COVID-19-related stress was associated with unhealthy weight gains

And how this new orientation led to transformational health results I didn’t even know were possible. Including sustainable weight
247. The Confidence to Make Some Noise (with or without botox) with Andrea Owen
Confidence is foundational to satiation or as Andrea defines satiation, fulfillment. Too often, we think confidence comes from weight loss, in a bottle promising beauty or is something we are born with. The good news is confidence is a skill-set and involves as Andrea Owen says in her new book, Make Some Noise, unlearning how we’ve been socialized to think about confidence and what it means to be a “good” woman. In this episode, we discuss:The 3 confidence mythsHow realizing her confidence was
246. Reclaiming Body and Self-Trust
We live in a world that teaches us to battle our bodies. Fight your hunger. Battle your weight. The war on mental health. This omnipresent battle narrative makes it appear natural and the only choice is to battle our bodies.Is there another way? Yes. In fact, there are lots of other ways. My client Kristin Leslie joins us to discuss how challenging her self-doubt story, which included normalizing distrusting her body and voice, led to one of the peak experiences of her life in a home birth she n

In our interview together, we discuss:The importance of soul satisfaction in the art of our wellness journeyHow our work together was about not being so rigid with her diet and men
244. I Want to Want to Eat Healthy
Did being gluten-free used to feel easy and now it feels depriving? Or maybe you’re burned out and getting back in shape sounds great but feels too much. Or like me recently, you’re on a roll and then you fall off track. To the untrained eye, there’s a willpower and discipline problem. Yet when you understand the connection between emotional satisfaction and food freedom, you can unlock powerful energy and motivation to eat well – and like it. In this episode, we discuss:1. How knowing your “Why

In our interview, Kimberly shares her perspective on satiation, which is asking the question “What is enough?” and how this question i
242. Culinary Nutrition: How to Cook for Health and Taste with Meghan Telpner
Send me (Ali) a text message.Learning to cook was an important step in ending my food battle. And then post-Truce with Food, I found myself less interested in food, cooking included. Cooking became “assembling”. We still ate most of our meals at home; it just became some version of frozen vegetable, rice and chicken, give or take some garlic powder. Meh but manageable. Then we became new, sleep-deprived parents and COVID hit. Cooking was important but even less of a priority. I knew when I did
241. Guilt-Free Ways to Increase Food Satisfaction
Send me (Ali) a text message.When we think of feeling satisfied from food, we often think satisfaction comes from more and more food and/or sweet/salty foods. Yet with some basic body knowledge, we can decode what’s actually happening instead of thinking more willpower is the answer. And in the end, feel more satisfied from healthy food and in control of indulgences. After some time away from the mic, Ali gives a personal update and shares: An unexpected root cause of why we don’t feel satisfie

238. Special Insatiable podcast: COVID: The Emotional Eating Arc of the Pandemic
The COVID behavioral health trajectory mirrors the out-of-control eating cycle. The toll of our COVID era is why many of us turned to food for the first time or eating issues returned for others. Or for others, it got worse, better, or stayed all-or-nothing.If we can understand our COVID eating has deeper root causes than “willpower” or “discipline”, we have a genuine shot at profound and radical individual and collective change (yes please).In this episode, Ali shares:The six COVID phases, whic

234. How to Exercise to Prevent Sugar Cravings with Alisa Vitti
Send me (Ali) a text message.We have so many beliefs about working out: mainly that we should do the same thing and always be “crushing it”. But this approach to working out doesn’t honor the ebb and flow of women’s bodies. This often leads to sugar cravings from exhaustion and wanting to reward ourselves for slogging to the gym when a nap would have gotten us better results! To help educate, inspire, and fill in some major missing holes with our female biology, Alisa Vitti joins us to discuss:
