Breaking Free from Calorie Counting, Exercise Obsession, and Body Shame with Michele Andrews

In this episode of Beyond Binge Eating, I sit down with Michele Andrews, a certified nutritionist, personal trainer, former therapist, and retired professional ballet dancer, to talk about healing our relationship with food, exercise, and our bodies.

Michele shares her personal journey from extreme calorie restriction, compulsive exercise, and body shame to the moment she began to see food and her body differently.

Here's what we explore:

Why “I want to lose weight” may not get to the real reason behind your goalsHow calorie counting, restriction, and exercise can become forms of punishmentThe connection between food, control, and emotional patterns Why Michele doesn’t use blanket meal plans with her clientsLearning to trust your body instead of letting the scale define successWhat healing can look like beyond simply changing how you eat
