Decoding the Mind-Food Connection with Nutritionist Kim Shapira • 337

We will learn:

How to recognize and manage self-denial with food

How to decode your body’s food language

How to find serenity in indulgence

Have you ever felt trapped by your own thoughts about food and eating? Like you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t get out? 

Right now, there's a big push against labeling any food as "bad." I agree that no one should feel shame about what they eat. For me, though, learning how our bodies react to certain foods was a game-changer. Realizing that many processed foods are engineered to be addictive shifted the blame away from my so-called lack of willpower to understanding the science behind it.

Personally, I don't classify all items as food; some are just lab creations to me. And some people feel like that is shaming…

I get that my approach might not jive with everyone's latest theories, but it's what's worked for me and others I know. However, I emphasize, what works for me doesn’t work for everyone. In today’s episode I’m going to give space to someone with a different view that has worked with more people than I have personally around this topic. 

So today we’re changing our relationship with food in whatever way works for us.

Our guest is Kim Shapira. She is a celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author, with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Tulane University and a Master’s degree in Human Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition from Boston University. Kim has spent over 25 years helping people lose weight and keep it off (with a giant emphasis on keeping it off).
