Happy Halloween season, dear Insatiable listeners! As we move toward this sweet-and-spooky holiday, I wanted to share how we approach candy in my household — before, during, and after trick-or-treating.
In this episode, I'll explain the three flexible, biology-rooted rules that guide how I handle sweets for my almost five-year-old son, Eça. I also talk about how I approach candy for myself. Because it isn’t just for kids, and the idea that there’s food for kids and food for adults is just a marketing strategy.

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. In this episode, we will discuss:
Real and false anxietyHow and why sugar creates anxietyClean eating versus nutrient-dense foodsDr. Vora’s top foods to add in for reducing anxiety and sugar in one’s dietCaffeine’s role in anxiety and how to end your coffee habit

I’ve shared on the show before that starting menopause radically changed my body. And we’ve talked about how hard it is to find smart, supportive, and true information about health, hormones, and HRT in midlife.
But now there is finally a book that shares everything I wish I knew five years ago! And I’m thrilled to talk about it with the authors today.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps of Wise and Well, who wrote The Great Menopause Myth: The Truth on Mastering Midlife Hormonal Mayhem, Beating Uncomfortable Symptoms, and Aging to Thrive.
We discuss:
How health declines during menopauseThe impacts of hormone loss as we ageDeciding if HRT is right for youHow to prepare yourself for HRT & manage your expectationsWhy you might need a new doctor in mid-lifeWeight loss during menopauseThe relationship between stress & weight gainWhy “you have to pick your hormones or your alcohol”The importance of critical thinking & self-advocacyWhy you probably don’t need to be on DIMMore about our guests: Maria, an FDN practitioner, and Kristin, an NTP Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition, are plainspoken friends and practitioners who share a passion for women's health, especially women's health at midlife. They are the authors of the widely acclaimed book "The Great Menopause Myth", a comprehensive, science based, yet easy to read guide for women who want their best chances at healthy longevity. As both are themselves menopausal, they've refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both clinical and personal experience. They combine individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes tailored to midlife women's needs with mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education to help women thrive so that they can stop or prevent their health from spinning out of control.

Too many of us feel like we have to go it alone with food. We put so much work into trying to lose weight and get healthy, but we just end up feeling isolated and ashamed.
In this episode, I’m joined by my clients Ginny and Isis to talk about why all of us (even the “bad joiners”!) need community support to heal our food triggers, and how working alongside other people can improve our self-awareness, self-talk, and self-esteem.
This is part two of a conversation about the transformations Ginny and Isis experienced in my program Why Am I Eating This Now?.
Tune in to hear us discuss:
Why even “bad joiners” need communitySelf-monitoring vs self-awarenessThe ways Why Am I Eating This Now? can support weight lossHow to satisfy your food noise triggers without foodWhy you are not your coping strategiesIsis’ Ozempic experienceWhat you can expect if you join Why Am I Eating This Now? this fall

Have you ever asked yourself, ‘why am I eating this now?’
I’ve talked about this in many of my past episodes, but today I’m excited to have two clients joining me to share their powerful stories of going from “failing” at every program they tried to addressing the root issues of their falling off track with food.
Tune in to hear Ginny and Isis talk about the diets they’ve been on, the health concerns they’re navigating, and how our work together transformed their eating habits, including food no longer being their go-to.
We discuss:
Our unique health priorities & how they relate to what we eatThe many ways popular diets shame & isolate usWhy Ginny & Isis decided to join Why Am I Eating This Now?How to know you’re ready to invest in yourselfSupport for pulling yourself out of feeling powerlessThe importance of having a flexible path (not a rigid rulebook)

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 my age?
I hear you! And we all know that we can’t trust anyone on Instagram to give us the answers.
So in today’s episode, Dr. Jannine Krause joins me to talk about the free, simple things you can do to support your body as you age. Because you don’t have to “go downhill” as is often the default expectation, and you can take control of your health as you get older.
We discuss:
Jannine’s path to Naturopathic medicineBody image issues in perimenopause & menopauseHow to approach calorie restriction & the problem with extreme calorie deficitsDiagnosing stomach acid issues & H. pyloriSimple steps to heal your gut without supplementsWhy we need to pay attention to insulin sensitivity as we ageWhat to do before you start fasting or biohackingProtein intake recommendations & sustainabilityHow rest & recharge in a minute or less
More about our guest: Dr. Jannine Krause is a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and host of The Health Fix Podcast specializing in helping women over 40 not age like their mothers or society. She has a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, master’s in acupuncture, and bachelor’s in biology.Connect with Jannine:

Have you ever struggled with family dinners, comfort foods, or getting your kids to eat? Or do you feel like you should be working harder to change your own eating habits? If you answered yes, then this episode just might help you make life-changing connections that have been elusive for years.
In this conversation with parenting expert Dr. Deborah MacNamara, we explore how food connects to our deep need for belonging, why there’s no such thing as a “picky eater,” and the many ways we can heal our relationships with food, fullness, and needing other people.
We discuss:
The difference between attachment and belongingWhat Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is missingHow to focus on receptivity in relationships with our kidsWhy food is often the place our relationship dynamics play outThe surprising connection between food, fullness, and vulnerabilitySelf-soothing vs satiationWhy feelings are different than emotionsThe problematic invasiveness of “work mode”Experimenting with being “needy” so we can learn to depend on others
More about our guest: Dr. Deborah MacNamara is the author of two books, Nourished: Connection, food and caring for our kids (and everyone else we love), and Rest, Play, Grow: Making sense of preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one). She is on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute and the Director of Kid’s Best Bet counselling.

I'm thrilled to bring you the powerful, perspective-shifting stories of two recent participants in my Truce with Food group program. In this deep dive conversation, we explore the idea of restriction as a moving target, not just in our food struggles, but throughout our lives. This reframing of restriction is a concept we also work through—in a supportive group setting and with effective tools—in my upcoming Why Am I Eating This Now program that launches in September.
How can "being in choice" begin to loosen the feeling of restriction?What does the often repeated HALT tool miss?How can the TAIL tool help you begin to dampen food noise?How do our upbringing and early food struggles show up in our present-day lives?While this work isn't therapy, how can it still be therapeutic? How can we begin repairing trust in ourselves for sustainable transformation?How can midlife be viewed as a deeper calling?
If the conversation in this episode ressonates with you, be sure to sign-up for the waitlist to be included in an upcoming FREE masterclass. In the Why Am I Eating This Now? program, we'll also unpack why the same hard work and discipline that has gotten you so far in life often backfires when you try and apply it to your eating and what’s really happening when your food discipline disappears in the moments when you feel like you need it most. 12 WEEKS.

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 all things stress and how to "separate the problem from the solution" for a more holistic understanding of what's really going on.
How can we develop a deeper understanding of stress?How can being self-aware be self-care?Why do quick fixes and endless data often do more harm than good?How can working within a group on food and other stressful issues be life changing? How has functional medicine gone off the rails?
Among the Questions Explored:Guest: Over two decades ago, Andrea Nakayama's husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given 6 months to live while she was pregnant with their first and only child. In response, she doubled down on an area she was passionate about—nutrition—in an attempt to extend his lifespan beyond his 30s. They made it over two years, and in the wake of his death, she discovered that she had developed Hashimoto’s. The transition from caregiver to patient challenged her to advocate for herself and others within a healthcare system that routinely pushes cases like hers and her late husband’s to the margins. As the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast and the founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic.

I've been a guest on a lot of podcasts lately. When I believe these episodes may be helpful to you, dear Insatiable listeners, I'll post them here in my feed. Today's episode is a rebroadcast of my appearance this week on The Health Fix Podcast with Dr. Jannine Krause. Our conversation showcases what is often kept behind-the-scenes as my work with clients and in groups is confidential. Coaching can often feel abstract until you witness it in action and my hope is that this episode will shed some light on the front. Listen as I coach Dr. Krause through two stress eating situations in her life (when she visits her dad and before she heads to work in the morning). We zero in on stress eating triggers, terrain we cover extensively in my upcoming Why Am I Eating This Now? 12-week LIVE group program (starting in September). If this episode resonates with you, be sure to join the wait list to learn more and join an upcoming free Masterclass.

Get ready for an insightful conversation with Angela Pugh, a renowned recovery expert and life coach. We discuss how to tell when thoughts and behaviors around food and alcohol tip over into problematic, even when life is seemingly going well to all outside appearances (i.e. the myth—for many—of "hitting rock bottom"). Angela shares the dramatic moment that set her on the path to sobriety and led to her life's mission to be of service to others. We explore coping mechanisms, addictive behaviors, and the identity shifts that are necessary for truly sustainable change.
Among the Questions Explored:
Why is sugar such a struggle for many in the sober community?What is the overlap between struggles with food/sugar and alcohol? Why does Angela says that being an alcoholic is the best thing that ever happened to her?How do you recognize when a behavior is crossing the line or tipping over to unhealthy?About Angela: After bartending her way across Hollywood and Beverly Hills, Angela was in over her head with a drinking problem that was relentless. She got sober in 2006 and dedicated her life to helping others do the same. She has spent the last 18+ years working in addiction/recovery as an Interventionist and trainer, and now serves as a Master Life Coach, host of the nationally-ranked Addiction Unlimited Podcast, national speaker, and entrepreneur.

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.
And how this new orientation led to transformational health results I didn’t even know were possible. Including sustainable weight loss, a Truce with Food, and a relationship of awe and gratitude for my body.
I share:
Why knowing the difference between authorities and experts is essential for transformational results. Especially if like me, as the first generation of childhood cancer survivors, there’s very little research to go on for your own body challenges.How I got out of the insanity of “I know sugar feeds on cancer” yet would binge on it during “scanxiety” season. If you struggle with health issues that are exacerbated by eating things you know you shouldn’t, this mindset shift helps.How mainstream goal setting, predicated on “You are not your story! Day 1 starts today”” sabotages us exactly like "Diet starts tomorrow" and a different approach to goal setting that resolves our root-causes and works in our real lives. The root cause of my bingeing and weight loss obsession that cancer deepened but wasn’t any more destructive than diets. And a simple practice for you to get to the root of your destructive eating habits.What I now believe about how weight is or isn’t related to health.And then I answer listeners' questions, which include:
What role does diet play in your life as a survivor? Have you put your cancer in the rear view mirror, or does it still occupy your thoughts?Residual worries and things you have to be concerned about that others don’t?How can friends be supportive?Send me (Ali) 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.
Alcohol Tipping Point PodcastFacebookInstagramTruce with Food Coaching Certification (July 2024!)
I work with a lot of sober folks and food often was either their original issue and then alcohol supplanted it, or in coming off alcohol, they turned to food (especially sugar) because we can only really focus on one thing at a time.
In this episode from the Alcohol Tipping Point, Deb makes personal connections that have eluded her for years. I was so thrilled she was willing to work through my coaching questions as I have these deeper conversations every day in my groups, but they would obviously never make it onto the air. So, I'm grateful Deb was willing to go there with me.
If you're struggling with food yourself, you'll hear 3 questions that may help you connect your own dots. If you're a coach, I hope you'll hear how my approach is different than a lot of what's out there. Rather than thinking clients fall off track from lack of willpower, discipline, needing a better plan or poor time management, you'll start to get a sense of the deeper invisible thread of belonging that runs through and connects why people's biggest food, exercise, and health challenges actually make sense.

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 describes as her "intentional weight loss" with peptides (and the backlash) and much more.
Why is hunger a good thing and what does it say about your metabolism?Why does it feel like it our metabolism slows down as we age, even though current metabolic science says it doesn’t really change from 20-60? Why are muscle and protein so crucial to our metabolic health as we age?What does Liz really want people to understand about metabolism as we age?
Among the Questions Explored:Top Questions from Insatiable Listeners (and being searched):
Is there any way to “reset” my metabolism?What is Liz's #1 tip to increase metabolism over 40?What’s one food I should consider adding to my diet boost my metabolism?Top recommendations for strength training after 40?Guest: Liz Wolfe is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, and best-selling author who encourages women to embrace their inner (and outer) badass while keeping the efficiency high and the drama low.

Alcohol is one of the most consumed forms of sugar and quitting alcohol can lead to an increase in 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 personal story and discern what was her truth versus the judgments she had about herself to heal her painRewind Episode Note:
Other Past Laura McKowen Episodes:
Increasingly, clients and participants in my Truce with Food group program are sober and now looking to examine their relationship with food, especially sugar. To explore this intricate relationship and and celebrate the recent paperback release of Push Off from Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else) I've decided to publish this rewind episode (an Insatiable listener favorite) where I go deep with Laura about all things alcohol and sugar cravings.
This episode was originally recorded in 2020, shortly after the publication of Laura’s bestselling We Are The Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life.

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 bodies.
As someone who struggled with her body and weight for two decades, I know how sensitive it can be to be in a place where you’re struggling. Our culture is fat phobic and really hard on people in large bodies. I’m hoping this episode can help us unearth what’s really going on and why fat phobia is one of the last accepted prejudices.
The opportunities for us to be triggered are seemingly endless with these types of conversations.
