Insatiable with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC (Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC)

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 Not” is more important than “Know Your Why”

2. How bad eating and exercise habits are protective

3. What your emotional immune system is and why it matters to our food and health

4. How our stories cause us to eat out of control

5. The connection between safety, emotional satisfaction and our food choices

In her new book, Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken our Own Power and Use it for Good, Kimberly Ann Johnson gives us the critical language to understand our nervous system and why this matters for us to heal trauma and feel enough.

An important part of trauma work is building our capacity to be with pleasure and satisfaction. In our interview, Kimberly shares her perspective on satiation, which is asking the question “What is enough?” and how this question is critical to how we eat and relate to our bodies. 

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Why satiation or “enoughness” in Kimberly’s words, matters to our nervous system
   
   
2. What safety feels like in your social nervous system, including thinking about who we eat with changes our experience of a meal
   
   
3. Weight struggles as a symbolic attempt at “having weight” in what we can create in our lives and for each other instead of being so “I” or “me” centered
   
   
4. Ideas of how to soothe your nervous system when you want to reach for food or social media
   
   
5. How being told to “calm down” or “let it go” when stressed can backfire and cause us to turn to sugar, overeat or binge
   
   
6. How good bodies depend on where you live and the body as an emergent process instead of something to judge

With the New Year upon us, it’s easy to think things will be magically different. Guess what? They can be if we do things differently. We can start the year with a fresh start, but not necessarily a clean slate. In other words, we still have our emotional selves that we’re bringing to the New Year. Because this season is about the feminine perspective or what’s missing in our conversations, I’m going to be sharing what’s missing in traditional and emotional eating approaches, including binging approaches, so that you can blow your expectations for freedom out of the water in today’s episode.

From one-on- one coaching to executive training and consulting, Randi has made a difference in the lives of so many, including working with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (aka The Oscars), Canyon Ranch Spa, Stanford University and too many more to list.

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 our Earth side entrance.

In this heart-felt, deep conversation, we discuss:

• Stacey’s tumultuous relationship with food and what she discovered was at the root of her restriction and then binging-purging symptoms. 
  
  
• The role our gestation and support our Mother’s do or don’t receive contributes to our sense of safety, according to Ayurveda’s Sankyha philosophy.
• How food provides a sense of literal structure to our bodies and thus safety. And if we don’t get the structure or felt presence of being “seen, held, and known” in relationships, we turn to food for safety. 
  
  
• How early stage eating influences what we were “told” about what and how much is available to us. While mainstream emotional eating advice says we binge or overeat in reaction to restriction, we discuss there’s also overeating in anticipation of not having enough food or other forms of safety. 
• Why we eat during transitions like work to home or Friday night to weekend and how birth as our first official transition can leave an imprint on how we experience transitions today. And some tips for making transitions easier today so we don’t need food. 
• How Stacey’s healing journey to develop a broader sense of safety beyond food led to her first ever awe inspiring pregnancies post-meeting her birth mother.

Figure out the importance of yin (the feminine) and yang (the masculine) and how everything in your life is always trying to find a state of equilibrium.

Trying to find a balance doesn’t necessarily work, so let’s talk about what does.

[Rewind of Episode 83]

Most of today’s chronic health issues – from psoriasis to depression to Hashimoto’s –stem from an autoimmune response in an unhealthy gut. For two decades, Dr. Susan Blum has been providing relief to her patients by getting to the root of their chronic illness through a ground breaking whole body approach that with precision, addresses the physical and emotional roots of these issues.

This is important because not all gut issues show up in your digestive system! The nitty gritty details of gut healing, including expected timelines, when pre and probiotics make sense and how you don’t have to eat “perfect” to be able to get relief How much stress influences gut issues and how much weight you should give to stress relief in relation to dietary changes. The % will surprise you! This also lead to a discussion on Dr. Blum’s own spiritual anchors and beliefs that guide her, including her own health challenges she recently had and recovered from.

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 never originally envisioned. This is a story most deeply about unlearning normal, including who you think you are. 

In this inspiring episode, we discuss:

1. How Kristin not talking until age four was a driving force in battling herself. Diets aggravated this battle but weren’t the original issue. 

2. How the media and stories about fearing birth originally influenced Kristin to assume she’d have a hospital birth (with her legs in stir-ups).
 
 3. The three keys that enabled her to see other birth options aside from “normal” and that can serve any of us looking for more satisfying choices outside of black and white thinking.
 
 4. How Kristin incrementally challenged her body doubt versus self-trust being one big epiphany of “this is the answer”. This was key when COVID hit and all her birth plans went side-ways.
 
 5. Navigating that we do and don’t have control over our bodies and how we can take charge of our stories to no longer feel powerless over food.

It’s been six months since we caught up with my Truce with Food client Linda. We all know we can make changes for a little bit. But what does it really take to make changes that stick? Turns out it’s all about the inner world of your emotions. Last time we left off, Linda’s health goal was to get off her antidepressants and of course, maintain all her progress. Has she maintained and made progress now that she’s not in the Truce with Food program? And now off anti-depressants?

In today’s episode, we discuss:

1.1. How Linda’s dealing with stress and overwhelm without food or her antidepressants for more rewarding outcomes

2.2. How work with her emotions has become a powerful source of confidence, improved many of her relationships and has led to her taking risks with and at work.

3.3. What’s happening with Linda’s nighttime eating and why she’s not freaking out about it at all

I sat down with Inferior author and science journalist Angela Saini to discuss the cultural myths like “women being better built for parenting” or “women aren’t as sexual as men” that lead to politics damaging to women’s health, overwhelm and not knowing the whole range of ourselves. And when we are overwhelmed and under-fulfilled, we make food choices unaligned with our goals. If you’re looking to understand how science has sexist biases and how that can liberate you to be more of who you really are, without illusionary female “norms”, this episode is for you.

We all have a Mom and a body. And we’ve all grown up under patriarchal conditions that tell us women are less than men. This reality can create quite a tangled web of body image and weight issues, no matter how great your relationship is with your Mom. But, according to Bethany Webster, a pioneering coach and writer, it’s not the body image and weight issues we need to address. Rather, we are struggling with what Bethany calls, the Mother Wound. Learn what the Mother Wound is, how it’s connected to seemingly disconnected issues and how you can start better mothering yourself today.

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:

• How society is set up on a man’s hormonal clock and why we need to change to honor our female, infradian clock (and why no one is talking about this)
  
  
• What the infradian clock is and how it’s a root cause of health, immune and weight issues
• How to work-out so we honor our bodies needs and don’t turn to sugar from exhaustion or stalled results
• When our metabolism is slower and faster and how to eat and work-out to align to ensure a healthy metabolism

Since childhood, sugar has been used to reward us. Whether it was for being good for Dad or Grandma, reading books for Pizza Hut Pizza’s Book It or treating ourselves for losing weight, the “I deserve this” eating pattern is reinforced constantly.

We will explore the root cause of this emotional eating pattern and how to overcome it. 

In this episode, we will discuss:

• The root cause stories that created this pattern in our culture, families and weight loss and healing approaches
  
  
• The importance of “self-authoring” a new story (and what self-authoring is) so you can change these three reactions to stress 
  
  
• How to prevent “busy boredom” and the need to unwind at the end of the day with sugar

Self-care has become a buzz word and catch-all solution to anything that ails you. Marketers have pounced on this as a way for women especially to empower themselves, while making them a lot of money. But the kind of self-care that leaves you feeling replenished, not broke or indulging in wine, are rarely identified and discussed. Instead, you end up with temporarily relief yet long-term depletion of your bank account and trust in yourself if you don’t have time for your self-care routine!

In today’s episode, Melody Wilding, LMSW and coach and I discuss: 

1. How the most common advice to get you to buy and do self-care is to put yourself first when in actuality, you are putting yourself first in this unconscious, depleting way

2. Key mental shifts to diffuse life’s stress while making it more fulfilling for you and your loved ones

3. Some of our all natural, totally free solutions for deep self-care

We have to start getting out of the cycle of exercise as punishment, eat as a reward. Our body image depends on it. What if we told you there is a way to cultivate inner strength, which then is reflected back to you in what you see in the mirror? Many of us have tricky and unhealthy relationships to working out, causing more harm than good in the long run. In this episode we discuss cultivating a totally different connection to how and why you’re working out, which can then lead to you feeling confident in your body.

“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 solo episode, I share:

2. The “elephant in the room” causing your out of control and out of alignment with your goals eating
3. The role our stories play in stress eating
4. How story work gets misunderstood and misinterpreted, creating more tools, work, and “feeling bad for feeling bad” that leads to lackluster results.
5. Two powerful coaching questions to get you started on resolving your stress eating today.

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. This includes why body positivity often misses the mark in supporting women’s relationship with their body. 

In our interview today, we discuss:

• The changing nature of what defines enough food “restriction” (Kate Moss’ 90’s heroine chic wasn’t the end!)
• The unconscious yearnings in feeling light and “high” from restricting food to feeling heavy and “low” from binging
• Why it’s important to pay attention to your envy and judgment of other women, including their bodies
• How scarcity and the sin of Sloth drive women to rush, overwork, and overdo
• The two sins no one has asked about in all her interviews and what’s the one thing she wishes would happen with her book that hasn’t.

About Elise

Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam. She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together. 

She’s also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good (Dial Press/PRH). The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. 

Regardless of our religious provenance, the self-denial implicit in each of the Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a “good” woman. With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self-restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance.

Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah, and has written for The New York Times, Elle Decor, Stylist, and more.

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’t actually how the body works. As a result, while both industries have different offerings, both limit us because of their blindspots created by these religious values and beliefs. 

In today’s episode with one of my favorite writers, Dr. Anne Helen Petersen, we discuss: 

• A background of what Protestantism and Puritanism are and how they’ve influenced diet and wellness culture and the deeper meaning implied in hashtags #blessed, #highvibes, and #nolowvibes
  
  
• How Protestantism and Puritanism especially influenced fat phobia and the 80s and 90s body ideal of what Anne calls “aspirational containment”.
• How wellness influencers and celebrities like Peloton instructors have given us secular outlets to satiate the needs that religion provides.
• How Anne shifted and continues to shift her relationship to exercise and work by incorporating this value that is considered “bad” in Puritanism yet supports the body to thrive.
• Anne’s process of first intellectualizing how problematic these religious values are in relation to exercise, the body, and work and then actually making the changes to embody new values that support her feeling great and athletic in her body, now in her 40s. 

• About Anne Helen Peterson
• Anne is an American writer and journalist. She received her Ph.D in Media Studies, where she did her dissertation on Celebrity Culture…we will get into why here in the episode.
• She worked as a Senior Culture Writer for BuzzFeed until August 2020, when she began writing full-time for her newsletter "Culture Study" on Substack. I know many of you read it. It’s so so good. Her most recent book “Out of Office” is about the future of work. And she has two new podcasts of her own: Work Appropriate and Townsizing, which is about people living in small towns.

Before we can end our dependence on processed foods (whose main ingredient is sugar), we need to understand root causes of how we ended up with a highly addictive food supply. How did the radical or unnormal become so normal? To turn our understanding upside down to right side up, we will discuss:

• Why we need to understand our stories and the “psychological immune system” they generate in order to change our food and lifestyle habits
  
  
• The separation and reductionist stories that have led us astray about how we view nutrition and our bodies
    
• How the “trust authority” story make us believe from the time we are kids that what is on the shelf is safe (and what our “good” medical choices are in the coronavirus age)
   
  
  
• A new story and questions to guide us to make better nutrition choices for our individual and Earth bodies (and how these questions can unite vegans and Paleo communities!)

4. The Truce with Food story work Serena and I did together that ended her bingeing, including not having to be an “old soul” all the time

With so much not working in the Western medicine model as evidence of increasing illness and weight gain despite spending more money than any other country in the world, old beliefs and truths around our bodies and health are falling away. For those of us using a holistic microscope, that focus has shifted to wellness and getting to the root causes of issues to build a bridge to new, vibrant solutions. Yet, that bridge isn’t fully complete and knowing what you need, who to trust along with limited time and money to figure it out creates stress just navigating your health-care.

In today’s episode, Insatiable favorite Sera Snyder is bringing guidance to navigating this crazy mess based on her experience with a Desmoid tumor and professionally, works with health care providers to deliver more value to their patients. In today’s episode, Sera and I discuss:

1. The distinct and profound difference between health-insurance and health-care. And how to figure out which providers to choose within your health-insurance.

2. The key factors to consider when deciding whether to invest money in services not covered by insurance like lab work, a functional medicine practitioner or coaches. And also how to think about the financial investment in terms of value not cost.

3. The unexpected places to get the most value for your money outside of what you normally think of as health-care providers, including the number 1 factor to look for when deciding between all the options of more holistically minded healers and coaches.
