 What if the secret to eating better isn’t another diet — but changing the way you think about food? That’s the refreshing philosophy of Meg Marie O’Rourke, RD-LDN, the self-described “Anti-Diet Dietitian” behind Harmony With Food. Meg joined me on The Debbie Nigro Show for a fun, eye-opening conversation about food noise, muscle, metabolism, ultra-processed foods, sneaky marketing — and what she thinks we should be putting in our supermarket carts. Her big message? Stop obsessing over diets and start paying attention to what your body needs. Meg points out that...

Keeping the “LIVE” in Alive! — Wellness Wednesday Every week I meet someone who’s helping us all Keep the “LIVE” in Alive! This week, I met a guy who made me realize I may be seriously behind. Tony Medrano is 55 years old, training for his FOURTH Ironman triathlon — and apparently works out four, five, sometimes SEVEN OR EIGHT HOURS A DAY. I had one immediate thought: Tony, you're making me feel horrible about myself. LOL. But that's not actually why I invited him on the show. Tony is the CEO and co-founder of LongevityPlan.AI, and what really got my attention was...

As we get older, birthdays become less about counting candles and more about appreciating the gift of getting another one. After surviving a few things that could have taken me out over the years, I don’t...

The Debbie Nigro Show

Keeping the "LIVE" in Alive!  In this Wellness Wednesday Feature Interview , I got a sneak peek at one of the world's biggest nutrition gatherings—Nutrition 2026, hosted by the American Society for Nutrition.

The Debbie Nigro Show

My best gal pal tried to get me to try mushroom coffee over a year ago. I still haven’t tried it. Recently more friends started mentioning they were drinking it. I thought OK well maybe I should look into it.  I’m not the biggest mushroom fan, though I do like them sauteed in olive oil well done and I'm always interested in a good marsala dish! But you’ll never get me to eat a really wild mushroom that my other half (a former chef ) might pick up excitedly while foraging through the woods. No matter how hard he tries to convince me that wild mushrooms are a delicacy, I...

Sleep issues are a BIG deal—just ask someone who’s been up all night involuntarily. More than half of all Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Good sleep is critical for "Keeping the 'Live' in 'Alive'!   I had a ‘Random Run In’ with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, a nutrition scientist and a pioneer in the field of sleep health. I was on an Amtrak to Boston, and I happened to choose the seat next to her. She was working diligently on her computer. I kept sneaking peaks at the bright fun patterned shirt she was wearing that I finally figured out reminded...

As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show

Sometimes it really helps to just talk to other caring people about whatever you’re going through. Now there’s a place where you can.

I had a talk with Scott Kelsey, the incredibly resilient Founder & CEO of Shareapy—about his groundbreaking wellness platform born from personal tragedy and built to foster connection, healing, and personal growth.

After a life-altering fall down a staircase left him with a traumatic brain injury, Scott found himself forced to hit pause—and reflect. "I had to isolate, be in a dark room, and let my brain heal," he shared. That isolation led to introspection, which ultimately led to inspiration.

Through peer support groups and candid conversations with others who had walked similar paths, Scott experienced something powerful: true connection. And from that connection, the idea for Shareapy was born—a space where people could listen, think, and share openly in facilitator-led virtual gatherings.

"Every time I shared my story, I felt calmer… and every time, the other person would say, ‘Hey, sharing my story helped me too,’" Scott said. That mutual exchange of vulnerability and strength became the core of the Shareapy Method.

Today, Shareapy supports people from ages 19 to 81 through weekly 60-minute sessions that are safe, confidential, and completely voluntary—you don’t even have to talk if you don’t want to. Just listening can be transformative.

With loneliness now considered the number one public health issue in the U.S., according to the Surgeon General, Shareapy is more than a wellness trend—it’s a much-needed movement.
