You've done Weight Watchers. Therapy. The functional medicine workup. You know more about nutrition than most people. And yet, you still can't make it stick. So now you're wondering if you're just the problem.

You are not the problem. The framework you needed—that integrates real, lasting change—just never showed up, so you keep blaming yourself instead.

  • I’m so happy I found this podcast

    Ali put words to feelings I didn’t know how to explain, and certainly didn’t think other people experienced. I have “aha” moments in each and every episode I listen to. This podcast has helped me understand that I’m not alone in my relationship with food and that it doesn’t have to feel hard forever. THANK YOU, Ali!

  • Real LIFE support

    can I consider Ali my own personal health coach and food therapist just by listening to her podcast? She speaks to my psyche and soul, is an inspiration but relatable, and a fountain of wisdom, light and clarity especially in the functional medicine world where too many people are BS experts hawking their supplements and unlived advice. She’s the real deal, offering real life support. Thank you, Ali!!!!

  • Love this

    I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to this podcast. I’m in the earlier stages of perimenopause, and was hesitant to consider HRT. After talking to my doctor, this podcast helped me understand HRT so I could make an informed decision that will help improve my quality of life and my long term health. Highly, highly recommend!

  • More Vitality Than I Thought Possible

    I love this podcast because it does the both/and dance and avoids the many different ways we judge ourselves related to food. Its evidenced based but not one size fits all. It boosts my mood every time I listen.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Sugar Cravings Make Sense When You Understand Your Hormones with Amber Romaniuk (324)
Q: Tell us about hormones and influencing our behaviors.
Hormones interact with the nervous system to shape mood, energy, and cravings; cortisol drives stress responses that increase hunger and sugar cravings, while sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone modulate mood and energy balance, making perimenopause a time when cravings can feel more intense or different.
Funk’tional Nutrition: How Belonging, Not Willpower, Shapes Your Eating (318)
Q: How do you define 'food as safety' in practical terms for listeners struggling with ongoing cravings or binges?
She outlines her approach to identifying four triggers (tired, anxiety, inadequacy, loneliness) and meeting the corresponding needs, rather than chasing a universal diet rule.
A Holistic Approach to GLP-1s with Mayo Clinic Dietician Tara Schmidt (302)
