Our relationship with food is a life-long relationship. My guest today, Ali Shapiro, reminds us that from conception, food is 'yoked' with attachment and belonging. Her work as a holistic nutritionist and behavior specialist gives Ali a unique understanding of diet culture, body positivity and modern medicine. In her words, each has their 'own flavor of crazy'.

Here are some of the powerful points that Ali and I discuss:

• How food issues hold us back from real life
• Food as medicine
• The backlash against 'wellness'
• Toxic diet culture (thin at all costs)
• Her philosophy of "loving my body is doing loving things"
• Food is the solution, not the problem.
• Option "C"

This conversation is so important, especially in this day and age where women continue to get pulled between body image and body positivity. Ali is a master at mindset and learning to love ourselves first. Her flagship program, Truce With Food, is now open for enrollment.
