Kim Shapira is a celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author. As a child, she was very sick, and later in life, she heard from a mentor that “food can make you sick or healthy." So from that moment on, she dove into her passion for helping people get healthy through their diet and never looked back. Through her work, she soon began to recognize that dietary habits are often symptoms of larger emotional or psychological issues. Now, she is able to help her clients identify their emotional triggers, understand how those triggers impact their dietary habits, and figure out ways they can achieve their goals healthily and sustainably, but getting back to the baseline understanding that food is fuel and nothing more or less.

Kim also outlines her Six Simple Rules to Transform Your Relationship with Food to Become Your Healthiest Self, tells us what most people are really hungry for, and gives us tips on how we can satisfy that hunger.
