136: Michelle Yates (@yatesnutrition) - How to spot disordered thinking patterns, influence of health psychology on decision making, breaking disordered eating patterns, our thoughts on 'bounce back culture', postpartum challenges for moms

Loved this chat with with my friend + fellow RD/nutrition coach - Michelle Yates, MS, RD. Topics discussed:

-Postpartum challenges/internal conflicts for moms (and dads/primary caregivers)

-What things influence our body image, eating patterns + thoughts around food?

-How our psychology and past experiences shape our perceptions of reality.

-Spotting disordered thinking + eating patterns + what to do about it.

-Common disordered eating patterns new moms might struggle with postpartum.

-Our thoughts on the 'bounce back culture' we live in.

-The idea around what you do matters less than the intention behind it.

-Why it’s not just about what you do—but the intention behind it (especially when it comes to food choices, body goals, and self-care routines)

+ so much more in-between. I know you'll love this episode!
