  • No B.S. on I.E.

    It was very refreshing to find Michelle Yates’ podcast on I.E. because the first one I found preached all the “icks” that Michelle talks about. I agree that it’s not good to moralize food but you can’t deny the fact that some foods provide better nutrients than others. I love how she calls out these icks that give IE a bad name and they are the same ones that I questioned myself. This makes me trust her info completely.

  • Chronic dieters need to listen

    I have been listening to the N&F podcast in order from the first episode while on my road trip. I have learned so much. The episode on why diets don’t work was just what I needed. My dietitian/disordered eating specialist has been trying to get me to understand this for months. Thank you Michelle for your podcast. It is very informative and extremely helpful.
