# About me
### & who I help as an binge eating dietitian, mindset coach, and Omaha nutritionist
## Hi, I’m Michelle Yates
### **MS, RD, LMNT**
**Certified Health Mindset Coach**
I genuinely feel like I was put on this earth to show others that they deserve to have a healthy relationship with food and a better body image. That’s why I’ve made it my professional mission to help others develop a healthy relationship with food and honor their bodies, no matter what they look like.
​Of course, I wasn’t always an binge eating dietitian. Before I followed this passion, I was just another woman in diet culture.
## My Work As A Virtual Dietitian
Today, I help individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating as a binge eating dietitian and mindset coach. My group binge eating coaching program has helped many women stop binge eating once and for all.
​And because I am strongly anti-diet-culture, dietitian services with me also help those who just want to know how to care for their body while having a positive body image. Both my  and my , can help you explore intuitive eating and find food freedom.

#### I marvel at how you DO KNOW the science of food and nutrition and stand by it (that should be a given, BUT SO MUCH FALSE INFORMATION OUT THERE, even from doctors and other health care persons), and that you give everyone personal attention and validate their experiences. So important. You have a gift for words and being supportive! And, you're just a good human. I would like you no matter where I met you, but I'm glad it was here!
– Wendy
#### I’ve never worked with anyone before and I was skeptical coming in but I couldn’t be more pleased with the way the program is structured and Michelle’s perspective and personality is great to help coach through the tough spots.
– Liane
#### Your encouraging attitude and consistent support made this feel possible for me. Along with your skill in your specialty!
– Denise
#### In the past nutritionists and trainers have put my down in subtle ways and made me feel like I am the problem. I've been tsk tsk'd for eating bananas and chicken thighs because they are carbs or fat. Working with you has been such a joy because you have made me feel OK about my choices and that eating sugar and really anything can be a part of a well-balanced diet.
– Christen
#### I love your demeanor & the fact that you truly want to help. It’s obvious that you are passionate about what you do. You are sympathetic to our struggles and you help without pushing some agenda on us to keep us on some awful diet that you know is not going to help.
– Sandy
#### Things I have been scared to tell other practitioners, you validated that those thoughts or feelings as completely normal.
– Tiffany

🍩 Conquer binge + overeating, food guilt, & the all-or-nothing mentality
🤍 Heal your relationship with food/body
⤵︎ Get power over food

 ![👇🏻 RECIPE 👇🏻
My motto is “Live Nourished & Free®”. Translation: FUEL your body with nourishing foods (especially fibrous ones), but have the freedom to also enjoy real cake when it’s worth it to you (without guilt, shame, or judgement). It’s not one or the other 😊
So for the times when you’re needing more fiber but want to make it fun, try this recipe out! ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎂  1 can of chickpeas aka garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
🎂 1/4 cup of any nut butter (I’ve found that cashew is the best, and almond is 2nd best)
🎂 About 13-15 large PITTED dates, microwaved for 1-2 mins with 1/4 c. water then drained OR soaked for 8 hrs in the water then drained (but who honestly thinks that far ahead!?)
🎂 2 T rolled oats
🎂 A generous helping of vanilla
🎂 1 scoop of birthday cake protein powder (comment ‘birthday cake’ and I’ll send over link to the one I use)
🎂 Roughly 1/4 C. milk of choice to aid in consistency
🎂 Rainbow sprinkles
Blend all ingredients besides sprinkles in a food processor until smooth. Top with rainbow sprinkles 🧁
Eat with graham crax, carrots, or celery (don’t hate it until you try it). 🥕
Will you be trying this??

Idea creds for this reel go to @huss.bey - I think a lot of us can relate 🙃
Truth is, we often do this if we’ve formed an unhealthy relationship with food - for many, that looks like eating to avoid uncomfortable emotions (boredom being one of them).
Interested in learning the psychological reasons why you overeat? 👇
I have a great 2-minute quiz that can help you find this out! Just comment “quiz” below and I’ll send it right to ya for free 🤍✨
