Ali Shapiro is the creator of Truce with Food, host of the top-ranked podcast Insatiable, a holistic nutritionist, integrated health expert, and rebel with a serious cause. She created her Truce with Food method while in graduate school where she drew from her decade-plus of working with real-life clients and her healing journey from having cancer as a teenager.

In this episode, we talk about Ali’s unusual journey to getting pregnant at 40, the surprising IVF statistic when you’re in your 40s, the role naturopathy played in improving Ali’s fertility, the three stress patterns that may be impacting your period and fertility, and so much more!
