In this episode of Alcohol Tipping Point, Deb Mazner sits down with Ali Shapiro to discuss the intricate relationship between food and alcohol triggers. Ali, the host of the popular podcast Insatiable, brings her expertise as a holistic nutritionist and integrated health coach to the table. This chat is particularly eye-opening for those who have quit drinking but find themselves struggling with sugar cravings or other food issues.
The conversation touches on when to address food and drinking problems, how Deb transitioned from strict dieting while drinking to more balanced eating habits when sober, and the four emotional triggers that often lead to self-sabotage. Ali shares her insights on how food and alcohol are deeply connected to our sense of belonging and emotional well-being. She highlights that after quitting alcohol, many people turn to food for comfort and a sense of community.
Ali’s new 12-week group programme, 'Why Am I Eating This Now?', aims to help individuals understand and manage their emotional eating triggers. The programme is designed for those who have already achieved sobriety and are ready to tackle their food-related issues. Deb and Ali also explore the concept of 'food noise' – the constant thoughts about food that can be overwhelming. They discuss how identifying emotional triggers like inadequacy, loneliness, and anxiety can help in managing these thoughts.
Ali emphasises the importance of feeling in control and making choices that align with one’s emotional needs rather than succumbing to restrictive diets or shame-based motivations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has found freedom from alcohol but is now facing new challenges with food. Ali’s compassionate approach and practical advice offer valuable tools for creating a healthier relationship with both food and oneself. Ready to dive into this enlightening conversation?
