Description
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.

TOPICS COVERED: 🏋️♀️ The hidden side of powerlifting nutrition — why “mak...
This one’s a little different from the usual Nourished & Free® vibes because today I’m joined by my husband, Vincent, to share the story of our son Nicholas’s birth. 🩵 If you’ve listened to Penelope’s and Cillian’s birth story episodes, you know I love recording these—not just to remember all the details for us, but because you all seem to love the wild, emotional, funny, real-life rollercoaster that birth always is. And trust me… Nicky’s story was a ride. TOPICS DISCUSSED: 🩵 The drama...
My husband Vincent and I are unpacking Netflix’s brand-new documentary Fit for TV, a deep dive into The Biggest Loser.

WOW Yates Nutrition, LLC has officially been established for 5 years! I AM SO BLESSED. Seems like a great time to (potentially) roast myself and see what past clients (those who have been on their own after working with me for at least 6 months) have to say about me. I took peeks here and there at what the responses were saying, but this is the first time I'm sitting down after the last wave of responders and seeing the final results. If you have ever wondered if long term healing is actu...
Today I’m joined by my former client and licensed therapist Julianne — who brings the perfect mix of clinical wisdom and “yep, I’ve been there” energy to this conversation. She gets honest about what brought her to Nourished & Free® in the first place — think postpartum chaos, generational baggage, medical trauma, and some real mixed signals from both church and culture about what her body “should” be. We get into the messy, often-ignored space where faith, food, and body image collide — ...
Your Chiropractor’s Not Gonna Love This Episode 😬 I sat down with Trevor Zierke, DC, a disillusioned chiropractor who has a LOT of dirt to share on his field.

We talk red flags (like telling you they can fix your PCOS), green flags (like knowing when to refer out), and why your posture probably isn...
