Insatiable with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC

Send me (Ali) a text message.

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 medicine
• Body image issues in perimenopause & menopause
• How to approach calorie restriction & the problem with extreme calorie deficits
• Diagnosing stomach acid issues & H. pylori
• Simple steps to heal your gut without supplements
• Why we need to pay attention to insulin sensitivity as we age
• What to do before you start fasting or biohacking
• Protein intake recommendations & sustainability
• How rest & recharge in a minute or less
