Episode 406: Michelle Shapiro, RD returns to talk coddling vs. compassion; Food Freedom (is it a lie?), whether “all foods fit,” survival vs. optimization; fear, trauma, and your authentic voice; functional nutrition; and math.
Welcome to the new Balanced Bites Podcast! I’m your host, Liz, a nutritional therapy practitioner and best selling author bringing you candid, up-front, myth-busting and thought-provoking conversations about food, fitness, and life.
Remember: The information in this podcast should not be considered personal, individual, or medical advice.
I have spent YEARS researching whether a good multivitamin is truly necessary for overall health. The truth is, there are a LOT of opinions out there, including from people like me, who love to ask lots of obnoxious, overly detailed questions. But the truth is, if I’m paying attention to how I FEEL, my answer was clear: I will be taking my multivitamin, and it will be from the brand Needed. Needed third-party tests EVERY batch for performance and quality, which is incredibly rare in the supplement industry and incredibly important to me! To get started with Needed, head to thisisneeded.com, and use code balanced for 20% off your one-time order or your first three months’ subscription. While you’re at it, add Stress Support to your cart. I’m loving that one, too.
Hi, friends! Today’s episode is the second of several upcoming chats with Michelle Shapiro, who is an Integrative and Functional Registered Dietitian from New York City who has served over 1000 clients in reversing their anxiety, healing longstanding gut issues and approaching weight loss lovingly – and in a body neutral way. And because if you haven’t fallen in love with Michelle already, I KNOW you’re about to, so I’ll give you some good news. Yes, she’s going to be a regular here, but she also has her own podcast, the “Quiet the Diet” podcast which you can find wherever you get your podcasts. So with that information, you won’t have to experience Michelle withdrawal. You can also find her @michelleshapirord on IG and michelleshapirord.com, and by the way, she DOES take 1:1 clients, this is a question I got dozens of times after our first show.
I adore Michelle and her fearless, layered, nuanced, hilarious take on nutrition and life, so let’s jump right in to our conversation.
