Nourished & Free: The Podcast
Nobody likes talking about their relationship with food... so let's talk about it.
Welcome to Nourished & Free®: The Podcast, where mental health meets physical health, food guilt gets ghosted, and toxic wellness advice gets roasted. 🔥
Hosted by Michelle Yates, MS, RD, LMNT, a Registered Dietitian with a master’s in Health Psychology and Certified Health Mindset Coach.
Here, science finds self-compassion. Michelle breaks down the why behind food struggles, from binge eating and emotional eating to body image, perfectionism, and “food noise” that won’t quit. Expect honest conversations, expert insights, and mindset shifts that go far beyond meal plans and macros.
Because true food freedom isn’t found in another detox plan, it’s built from the inside out.
⚠️ Fair warning: logical, realistic, reasonable, and evidence-based methods ahead.
