“DO YOUR RESEARCH!!” and Other Dangerous Conspiracy Wellness Tropes are Destroying our Mental Health with Dr. Jonathan Stea
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be chatting with clinical psychologist, Dr. Jonathan Stea, author of the book “Mind the Science: Saving your Mental Health from the Wellness Industry”. We will be discussing the damage of mental health medication stigma (aka “pill shaming”) including my own experience being pill shamed online. We will chat about the risks of rejecting psychiatry in favor of grifty holistic wellness alternatives, especially when they feed into conspiracy theories. We will be debunking common anti science tropes and phrases “do your own research” or “find the root cause”. And I'm going to close off with some discussion on healthism and how it causes harm to all people, but especially those in less privileged positions.References: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317611181_The_effect_of_self-compassion_on_the_selfCheck in with today’s amazing guest: Dr. Jonathan Stea, a clinical psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary and author of Mind the Science: Saving Your Mental Health from the Wellness Industry.Follow @dr_jonathan_steawww.jonathanstea.comhttps://jonathanstea.substack.comBook: https://www.amazon.ca/Mind-Science-Saving-Wellness-Industry/dp/1039008232Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

From Raw Vegan to Orthorexia | Untangling Your Diet from Identity with Nutritionist Sarah Britton
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be chatting with food blogger, cookbook author and nutritionist Sarah Britton about her experiences with raw veganism becoming a dangerous eating disorder and how she untangled her diet from her core identity. Sarah talks about the exclusivity of certain extreme diets like raw veganism and how it serves to perpetuate the internalization of one’s diet as identity. She talks about the physical and mental health implications of her restrictive raw vegan diet and what triggered her body to beg for a diet change. She talks about the identity crisis she faced upon introducing animal products to her diet, especially as a person in the public eye. And I finish with some tips on how to uncouple your diet from your core identity if and when your diet is no longer working for you.

I do not want anyone to take this as me or Sarah not supporting a plant-based diet because as you’ll see, we absolutely both do.

An Evidence-Based Guide to Weight Loss Without Fads (and Why It’s So Damn Hard) with Dr. Eric Williamson
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we will be chatting with Registered dietitian and PhD Dr. Eric Williamson. Eric is a fellow registered dietitian specializing in fitness, performance and longevity, with a PhD that focused on the intersection of exercise nutrition and metabolic health. He’s also the director of nutrition at Canyon Ranch wellness resorts and has been a key scientific advisor for my supplement brand, Neue Theory. Eric and I discuss the compensatory mechanisms that come into play when we try to lose weight (which makes it seemingly impossible). We talk about the importance of muscle mass for helping to “boost” metabolism. We discuss the role of women’s hormones in making weight loss more difficult. And we discuss calorie counting, and alternative gentle methods that are not restriction-based.

The ONLY DIET HACK You Need to Meet Your Health Goals - Without Restriction (A Beginners Guide to my Revolutionary Hunger Crushing Combo™ Framework)
It’s officially diet culture season, and if you’ve been trying to make peace with food and your body while still making peace with food, this episode is for you. Instead of constantly thinking about what we need to permanently cut out of our diet (which lets be real, never lasts), we need to move from scarcity mentality to a place of abundance and nourishment where we’re focusing on what we can add to our diet, rather than always take away. My Hunger Crushing Combo™ helps you do just that by encouraging you to focus on adding a source of fiber, protein and healthy fats to meals and snacks. This helps to increase satiety ,improve blood sugar levels, increase overall nutrition and stop moralizing food. The result is a sustainable approach to eating well that can be easily adapted to meet your needs and goals.

“You’re Glorifying Obesity” and Other Fatphobic Lies about Body Positivity with Lauren Hope Krass of the Good Bodies Podcast
Happy new year, friends! In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be talking to Lauren Hope Krass. Lauren is a comedian, a contributor to Betches media, and the co-host of the Good Bodies podcast - formerly called Diet Starts Tomorrow. She’s also a body positivity advocate and a fat activist and I’m so excited to have her on our show! Today we will be unpacking common misunderstandings and criticisms of the body positivity movement (ie. that it “glorifies obesity”) and how it differs from movements like fat activism and fat acceptance. Lauren also discusses how fat activism and body positivity is important for everyone, including straight size (smaller bodied) folks. We’re going to chat about how weight loss drugs like ozempic are affecting the fat acceptance community. Lauren also shares some tips about how straight sized folks can act as allies to their larger bodied friends. I finish off by discussing how fat phobia affects people in larger bodies, and how this differs from thin privilege.. No matter what your body looks like, where you are in your body acceptance journey, this is an essential listen any time of year, but especially as we’re currently in some toxic new years resolution waters.References:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6565398/#:~:text=More%20than%20three%20in%20five,are%20well%20documented%2C%20Alberga%20said.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1038/oby.2003.142https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4381543/https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.02063/fullhttps://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2458-12-525https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1059601108321518https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21820369/ Check in with today’s amazing guest: Lauren Hope Krass.
