Nourished & Free: The Podcast

Michelle Yates, MS, RD, LMNT
Nobody likes talking about their relationship with food or with their body... so let's talk about it. Welcome to Nourished & Free® - the podcast to help you become nourished & healthy while being free from a toxic relationship with food. This show creates space for conversations around having a healthy, balanced, realistic relationship with food while being free of food guilt, disordered eating, and diet stress... all while dodging the misinformation we see left and right in our toxic "wellness" culture AND the toxic “anti-diet” culture.Episodes cover a range of topics including binge eating, critical breakdowns of popular diet and wellness trends, and stories of real women who have walked the road of overcoming a toxic relationship with food/body.I've had my own battle with body dysmorphia and disordered eating, so I get it. I've now made it my mission to help women conquer anything that stands in the way of mental or physical health. Find me on IG for more @yatesnutrition
