Nourished & Free: The Podcast
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.

Nourished & Free: The Podcast
15 Years of WW® (Client Confessional with Alyson)
"WW had convinced me that I was uncontrollable with food, i.e. I could not be left alone with any food. They had scared me to the point where I thought 'only if you follow this will you ever have a normal life again.
If at any point (in the 15 years of doing WW) I had convinced myself that my body was beautiful, they would have lost a customer.
In the end, they financially benefited from the fact that I stayed heavier in my weight and the fact that I could not be convinced to appreciate my size."
Nourished & Free alum, Alyson , joins me as we walk down her disordered eating journey with WW that was 15 years long.
