What Past Program Participants Are Saying:
Why Am I Eating This Now is about getting to the root of things, not hovering on the surface as too many other programs/plans do. As a result, I stopped slipping with my healthy eating and falling into old thought patterns. I got unstuck and have the tools to keep going. One year out of the process, I have a deeper understanding of my relationship to food thanks to the tools I learned in this program (I've also lost 20 pounds).
—Dr. Tina H. Boogren, Colorado
Before Why Am I Eating This Now, I was stuck in the 'Why don't I have any willpower loop? That person did Weight Watchers and looks great. What's my problem? Why can't I stick with this?' It seemed so easy for everyone else, just count points and you're gonna lose weight. Why Am I Eating This Now? got me out of my black-and-white thinking and showed me that there's an option C! It helped me break the cycle of self-blame, inadequacy, and isolation. It saw me as a whole person within our supportive group. I now have a new inner dialogue around my food choices and a more profound understanding of myself. This program has been transformative.
—Ginny Summerlin, Virginia
I've done EMDR, CBT, and other forms of therapy, and Why Am I Eating This Now is a far more gentle experience. The program is filled with purposeful learning material that we go out and immediately apply to our lives. We bring our experiences back to Ali and the non-judgmental supportive group—it's a far more shared learning environment than therapy. Why Am I Eating This Now may not be therapy, but it is certainly therapeutic.

Word on the Street
Liberating and fulla truth
Insatiable tells truths I’ve been wanting/ needing to hear about our bodies, our minds, our experiences, our society. Ali’s interviews, with both clients and experts, expand the definition of health to include VITALITY and always leave me feeling refreshed and inspired. Ali and her guests share what they’ve discovered (and are still discovering!) along their personal healing journeys to support listeners to uncover what’s keeping us reaching for another plate of food, rather than our most deeply held dreams. It’s personal, it’s political and it’s been my absolute favorite podcast over the past year+! My favorite episode is “How Stifling Your Story Causes Crazy Eating” with Justine Musk. — Breanne Ward
On my “Must Listen To” list
I find the honesty and realness on Insatiable refreshing and engaging. I’ve learned about so many different topics and perspectives that have further fostered personal growth within myself and encouraged me to dig deeper into this rabbit hole of health and wellness. I’m loving Ali’s new format: solo, no-holds-barred approach. Her warm and genuine personality shines. I find myself at times laughing, tearing up, and also furiously writing down a quote of something that really resonated with me. This is in my weekly queue of “must listen to” podcasts. My favorite episode is “Transforming MS and Autoimmune Health Protocols” with Dr. Terry Wahls. — Stephanie Cahill
Love love love Insatiable!
I am binge listening on my commute to and from work — and in just one short week of about 5 podcasts, I can already feel my strained relationship with food changing. It makes my entire sense of self feel (at age 48) … hopeful! The podcast is life changing! My favorite episode is “The 4 Emotional Eating Patterns.” — Lori
Insatiable is one of the best podcasts and sources of information on weight issues I’ve heard.
I struggle with bingeing and I’ve listened, read, watch and researched everything I can get my hands on for the last 15 years. Insatiable is one of the best podcasts and sources of information on weight issues I’ve heard. I can’t express how grateful and excited I am that I found this podcast. — Krista
The Insatiable podcast gets to the root of so many of our behaviors (around food and otherwise!)
My CURRENT favorite episode is “Transform Emotions Into Power, Not Overeating” with Melody Wilding, MSW. The Insatiable podcast gets to the root of so many of our behaviors (around food and otherwise!) and features an eclectic assortment of subject matter experts to enhance Ali’s holistic insight into food, mood and attitude. Without ignoring the multi-faceted contexts of each individual’s experience (culture, politics, economy, etc), Insatiable constantly questions our beliefs and habits around food, weight, and our drives for something better. — Angela Marchesani
Insatiable is the best health/fitness/wellness podcast I have listened to in the last six years!
I’m a big podcast listener and the Insatiable podcast is the best health/fitness/wellness one I have listened to in the last six years!” — Sibel
I LOVE your podcast.
I LOVE your podcast. I wish it were required listening for med students. There would be a lot less trauma for overweight ladies at the doctor’s office if it were! — Amanda
