The 4 Month Group Coaching Program to:
Escape the All or Nothing Mentality with Food, Eliminate Binge Eating, Conquer the Diet Cycles, and Free Your Mind From Obsessive Thoughts of Food For Good.
It’s time to break free from the toxic cycles of:
- Feeling so bad about yourself that it drives you into even more poor choices with food and a mountain of guilt, shame, and embarrassment about how much you’ve eaten.
- Hating how you feel about yourself and letting the mirror 🪞, scale, or photos dictate your mood
- Trying EVERYTHING!!! Calorie counting, meal replacement shakes, macro tracking, every diet in the book, daily affirmations, maybe even surgery
- Constantly thinking 🧠 about food and how you look
That’s what
Nourished & Free is for
Especially if you’ve wondered…
- Am I a binge eater?
- Do I have an eating disorder?
- Am I addicted to food?
I get it. Because I’ve been there.
But not anymore.
And you don’t have to be either! I’m ready to show you how to do the same.
I’m Michelle Yates
I was in the same place you’re probably in now.
I remember going into the kitchen every 5 minutes taking just 1 more slice off of the cake, only to realize I’d eaten 1/2 of it. I felt so much guilt for my lack of self-control.
My weekdays would be marked with perfect restriction, only for the weekends to be a free-for-all… complete chaos, with an extra dose of shame on Sunday nights.
Every Monday, I’d ‘start over’, only to fall off the wagon before the week was over.
I kept saying the same things to myself that were making me miserable…
“Why can’t I just eat like a normal person?”
“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.”
“I don’t want my relationship with food to rub off on my kids.”
“I hate looking at myself.”

“I don’t want my relationship with food to rub off on my kids.”
“I hate looking at myself.”
I quickly realized that my lifestyle was lacking one of the most crucial elements in order to be truly healthy and flourishing:
A simple, adaptable style of eating that I could rely on for the rest of my life.
Many people looking for binge eater help are struggling with binge eating disorder, which was formally added to the DSM-5 in 2013 as a type of eating disorder. Binge eating disorder is characterized by not just overeating, but by feeling out of control when eating and experiencing shame or guilt because of the behavior. It must be diagnosed properly by a professional.
However, not all binge eaters fit the diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder. Binge eating can be a disordered behavior with food that an individual struggles with but does not necessarily have an eating disorder.
IT TURNS OUT THAT LEARNING HOW TO STOP LOSING CONTROL WITH FOOD WASN’T ABOUT WHITE-KNUCKLING OR WILL POWER…
IT WAS ABOUT GETTING TO THE ROOT ISSUES BEHIND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD 🤯
So I made a change! 🧁
Now I can:
🍩 Have spontaneous fast-food stops guilt free
👩⚕️ Get good reports from the doctor on my blood sugar, cholesterol, and overall health status.
🍷 Enjoy wine and donuts without thinking about the carbs
📈 Grow my business without my lack of energy / focus slowing me down
🔥 Be completely unphased by what others think about my body

Your Core Curriculum Includes… 📖
PILLAR ONE
MINDSET
Most things don’t take the time to dig into your thought processes and make sure you’re actually setting yourself up for success. In Nourished & Free, we’re digging deep into your patterns and rewiring your brain so that it doesn’t set you up for failure anymore.
PILLAR TWO
INTUITIVE EATING
Learn intuitive eating like you never have before. I take a grounded, logical approach so it makes sense to you, and is actually easy to implement. After working together, you’ll know how to tell if you’ve had enough to eat, and walk away with no hesitation.
Not only that, you’ll be able to follow a stress-free lifestyle that reverses insulin resistance, PCOS symptoms, weight cycling, blood sugar imbalances, and cholesterol imbalances (while still eating the foods you LOVE).

If you’re desperate to lose weight, control your weight, or change your body- then there is a high likelihood that your body image is having a direct impact on your relationship with food. Because of that, we incorporate body image coaching so that you can feel confident today instead of perpetually living in a world of “what ifs” and “if onlys“.

Celebrate leaving behind feelings of being lost, defeated, and hopeless 🎉
I care about the little things
You should be able to enjoy moments with your family without stressing about the food or how you look.
You should be able to raise your daughters knowing that they won’t inherit poor a body image or disordered eating habits from you.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your job performance because you’re too tired from eating so little, or too preoccupied with thoughts of food to focus.
Your body was incredibly designed by a Creator that knew exactly what He was doing, and He gave you the tools to know how to care for your health without a single nutrition label. You should be able to access those tools no problem.
Your body was made uniquely to look like YOU – not like the influencers on Instagram. That’s worth celebrating, and we can be content in that reality.
All of this is SO possible for you, and I want to help you get there.
NOW IS YOUR MOMENT TO FINALLY
BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE AND THE EXAMPLE YOU SET

Ready to Never BINGE or DIET Again?
Get time back with family
No more wishing you had been more present with your loved ones, or was focused on your kids rather than how you looked or what was on your plate.
Eat stress-free
No questions about what to eat, when, or how much. It will come easily, and so will moderation between nourishing foods vs fun foods.
Have lasting confidence
No more looking in the mirror and feeling defeated. Say goodbye to dreading taking your clothes off.
Make memories
Never send the text “Sorry, not tonight.” ever again. Instead, live your life free from worries of what food will be there, how you look in your clothes, and what others will think of you.
🎉 I’m ready to celebrate you not obsessing over food anymore 🎉
Together we will…
Banish the thoughts of food from your mind for good. 🧠
Stop binge, emotional, and/or overeating once and for all. 🍔
Step up instead of shrinking back in fear. 💃🏻
Heal the scars that dieting has left on you. ❤️🩹
Surround you with a powerful support group, allowing you to step into who you are truly meant to be. 🫂
ARE YOU READY?
Before I learned the ins and outs of rewiring my thoughts and healing my relationship with food, I was scared.
I thought that every new diet thing I tried was “it”. But it wasn’t. I felt silly for wanting to continue to spending money on trying new things.
While every program, plan, and philosophy about how to eat seemed logical, I knew I needed something else…
The other things weren’t addressing the root issues like I needed. They weren’t protecting my disordered eating tendencies.
I felt massive shame about how broken my eating patterns were. I wanted to set a good example for my future kids, and my future clients.
Once I healed my relationship with food and my body, I knew it was totally worth every last penny.
I was investing in my health. I got my LIFE back. That was priceless.
I love this quote:
“If you want something you’ve never had, you need to do something you’ve never done.”
If you feel called to this program, yet still scared, I would challenge you to do one thing:
Breathe. Close your eyes. Envision the version of you who’s eating the foods you love without bingeing on them. Who’s no longer hiding food in the trash, or on a credit card. Who’s no longer constantly thinking about how disgusting you are.
The you that says ‘yes’ to spontaneous ice cream with your loved one.
The you that has more mental space to put towards your family.
The you that feels confident and empowered.
The you who doesn’t give a d*mn what the scale says.
The you who says, “I’m ready to feel confident for the rest of my life.”
WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY?
THERE’S YOUR ANSWER.
FAQ’s
CLOSED TOGGLE
How do I know this will work for me?
Let me guess: You’ve tried everything. It makes you sick how many things you’ve tried, and you don’t want this to be just. another. thing.
I get it. I don’t want it to be just another thing for you either.
Honestly, that’s what makes you the perfect fit for this process. This is designed for you because you’ve tried it all, and you really want this to be the thing that ✨ works ✨.
But here’s where I have to be brutally honest with you:
The process is tried and true. I have testimonials for days from women just like you. (Example 👇 )
But, it WILL NOT WORK if you are not ready to be all-in and leave your excuses at the door. 🚪
Will you show up and do the work? Will you fight for this? Will you ask questions and seek support when things get hard?
That’s the difference between women who walk away finally free from decades of food/body image baggage vs. those who don’t. It’s not that they didn’t have fear about this not working for them – it’s that they didn’t let the fear stop them.
Are you going to let fear stop you from finally conquering your battle with food?
Can I see some reviews from past clients?
Of course! Here’s a link to my Google reviews. I’ve also put together a page of video, podcast, and written testimonials here. Please, help yourself to looking through those! 😊
Here’s one of my favorite photos from a client:
Will I lose weight?
Maybe! We are focused on the habits and behaviours in your life. If you have weight to lose, that may or may not happen within our 4 months together. Quite honestly, we have deeper things to tackle than just what the scale says.
I’m not against intentional weight loss per se, but if you’re here it’s likely because trying to lose weight has led you down a path that has brought you farther from a place of being happy and healthy.
When that’s the case, I personally think it’s a good idea to take some time and focus on other things.
In Nourished & Free, we’re establishing necessary habits and setting you up with a solid foundation for a lifetime of health (which will lead to a healthy weight for you).
Is there any 1:1 coaching in Nourished & Free?
After running this program as a 1:1 experience, a group experience, and a hybrid of the two, what I have found that women need the most when it comes to their relationship with food is community. No longer feeling alone, stuck, or like they’re the only one who struggles.
Additionally, the growth is accelerated when you’re in a group of others who are on the same journey as you.
To see what I mean, check out these posts from N&F members:
I do believe our clients get the best results when they learn in groups alongside women doing it with them. In this model, you will get:
-
Personalized answers to your questions from the team in the group chat.
-
Our undivided attention if you have a question on our group calls.
-
Option to add on 1:1 time with Michelle at any time (extra charges apply).
Why not just go see a therapist?
How involved are you in the program?
Couldn't I figure this out on my own?
When does it start?
I'm not big on group settings, especially since we are all starting at different times... how could this possibly be helpful?
How is this different from other courses and programs?
Do I need to be a certain age to join?
I am really busy! How much time will this require?
Why hire a Registered Dietitian and not a 'nutritionist' or 'coach'?
Can I hop on a call with you first?
How is this different from other intuitive eating programs?
I love how helpful intuitive eating can be for helping women heal from a disordered relationship with food. With that being said, I don’t agree with all components of it and find some elements are based on cherry-picked and misleading data. With that being said, I’m not 100% aligned with intuitive eating, but I do value it as a tool in combination with other things.
