In this radically honest conversation Natalie sits down with clinical psychologist and leading researcher Dr. Pamela Keel to unpack the science, psychology, and misconceptions behind eating disorders.
From her own experience living with Type-1 diabetes to decades of groundbreaking research, Dr. Keel brings both personal insight and clinical expertise to a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about these conditions.
Together, they explore why eating disorders arenât caused by just one thing, the role of genetics and environment, how social media and modern wellness trends are shaping behaviors, and why telling someone to âjust eatâ misses the mark entirely.
They also dive into prevention, early warning signs, the rise of GLP-1 medications, and how to actually seek help in a system that often feels inaccessible.
This is an open conversation about what it really takes to support healing in a world full of social media misinformation.
This episode is for anyone who:
- Has struggled with disordered eating or body image
- Wants to better understand the science behind eating disorders
- Is navigating recovery or supporting someone who is
- Feels overwhelmed by conflicting health advice online

She built a luxury athleisure brand as a movementâand it started with a life-altering diagnosis, and a decision to finally breathe again.
Clarissa Egaña, the visionary founder of Port de Bras (PDB)âa wellness-centered athleisure brand rooted in intention, sustainability, and community impact. Born in Florida to Venezuelan parents and raised in Caracas, Clarissa shares how her Latin American upbringing shaped her artistic sensibilities and social conscienceâand how a personal health reset ultimately became the catalyst for building a company with purpose.
From postpartum anxiety and a Hashimotoâs diagnosis to discovering the power of yoga as a life-saving practice, Clarissa opens up about the realities behind entrepreneurship: the pressure of external validation, navigating pivots, the chaos behind wholesale, and the courage it takes to return to the roots of why she started. She also shares how PDB collaborates with NGOs, leads sustainability initiatives, and supports her team in Venezuelaâproving that a brand can be beautiful and built for positive change.

Welcome to the very first episode of Nourished with Natalie.
In this deeply honest and reflective episode, I share a story I carried quietly for yearsâmy experience with an eating disorder, hospitalization, and the long, nonlinear road to recovery. I open up about unresolved trauma, ambition-fueled burnout, my years living in New York City, and the patterns that kept me disconnected from myself⊠until my body and my life demanded a reset.
This episode walks through my own process of release, reset, and restoration: leaving New York, moving to Miami without a safety net, learning how to sit in discomfort, rediscovering creativity through food and yoga, stepping away from corporate life, building my own business, and ultimately creating space to receive the life I live now.
This conversation sets the foundation for Nourished with Natalieâa podcast rooted in mindful living, emotional wellness, and intentional growth. I share why this podcast exists, how curiosity will guide every episode, and why I believe real healing happens when we slow down, get honest, and reconnect with ourselves.
This episode is for anyone who:
â has achieved a lot but still feels disconnected
â has lived in survival mode for too long
â has struggled with food, body image, burnout, or identity
â feels the pull toward a different, more intentional way of living
Nourished with Natalie isnât about perfection or quick fixes. Itâs about creating spaceâfor truth, for healing, and for a life that actually feels good to live.
Consider this your invitation to exhale.

What happens after achievement and survival, when the noise quiets and the truth asks to be heard?Nourished with Natalie is a podcast about healing out loud â a space for truth-telling, nervous system repair, and the quiet bravery it takes to rebuild a life with intention. Created as both a personal healing journey and an invitation to release what weâve carried in silence.Each episode follows a simple, powerful arc:The Release â the story most people avoid. No small talk. Just truth.The Reset â the rupture or reckoning that changed everything.The Restore â how they rebuilt with new tools, awareness, and daily practices.This isnât a podcast about perfection.Itâs about being human.Through intimate solo reflections and conversations with founders, healers, scientists, artists, and storytellers, we explore where science meets soul â from trauma recovery and nervous system regulation to creativity, grief, longevity, and rebirth.If youâve lived fast, achieved a lot, and now crave a slower, more intentional way forward â this is your weekly exhale.Welcome to Nourished.Where real stories live.Where ambition meets equanimity.And where healing begins from the inside out.
