In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be chatting with Dr. Jenn Salib Huber about menopause and perimenopause signs and symptoms (and if you're in your 30s, it might already have started!!). We will chat about food cravings and how much weight you'll actually gain and where in your body. We will discuss the dangers of low carb, keto, eating disorders and weight loss during menopause. And we finish with the best foods to add to your diet.Language Note: I will be using exclusive woman-specific language, even though I fully acknowledge that not everyone who goes through menopause identifies as a woman. And we will be discussing disordered eating and weight loss themes.  Also my general reminder that the information in this episode is for entertainment and educational purposes only and is never a replacement for personalized healthcare.Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr. Jenn HuberInstagram: @menopause.nutritionistWebsite: www.jennsalibhuber.caPodcast: themidlifefeast.buzzsprout.comReferences:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9974533/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6204950/https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/32/12/2522/4562350https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32682573/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8308420/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2200634/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5770525/https://oce.ovid.com/article/00005407-201606210-00022#https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34260478/https://www.jognn.org/article/S0884-2175(15)30033-2/abstract Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we will be discussing the real risk of so called “toxins” in our beauty products as we have been told by the Clean Beauty industry. Our guest today is PhD cosmetic chemist, Dr Michelle Wong aka @Labmuffinbeautyscience. Michelle will be discussing the real of “toxins” getting into our body through our skin. Sh will also discuss actual risks and benefits of mineral vs chemical sunscreen, parabens in our shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide in our acne cream, and what vulnerable populations like pregnant people need to avoid in their beauty products. She also discusses why the clean beauty movement and the products it promotes may not only be less efficacious but also less safe. I conclude with a very important conversation about the EWG and why their “dirty dozen”, “toxic twenty” and “Skin Deep” database should not be used as a credible source of science. References:https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2958246https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/groups/Royal_Hospital_for_Women/Mothersafe/documents/skinhaircareandcosmetictreatmentsapril2021.pdfhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6773459/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0272989X15621877#:~:text=In%20studies%202%20and%203,3)%20than%20the%20synthetic%20drug.https://www.teawithmd.com/2015/07/ewg-myths-about-sunscreen-safety/https://www.dermatologytimes.com/view/addressing-sunscreen-safety-a-review-of-ewg-s-2024-guide-to-sunscreenshttps://www.theecowell.com/blog/a-case-against-the-ewghttps://sharonmahan.com/the-problem-with-ewg-skin-deep/https://chemistscorner.com/why-the-ewg-skin-deep-database-is-still-a-dubious-source/https://cyrillelaurent.com/2019/11/06/ewg-skin-deep-what-a-scam/Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr. Michelle WongInstagram: @labmuffinbeautyscienceWebsite: labmuffin.comYoutube: @LabmuffinbeautyscienceBook: The Science of Beauty by Michelle Wong Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

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.  References:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5623148https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/Check in with today’s amazing guest: Sarah BrittonWebsite: https://www.mynewroots.org/Cookbooks : https://www.mynewroots.org/cookbooks/@mynewroots Trigger Warning: I want to flag that we will be talking about eating disorders, and we will also be discussing Sarah’s experiences with veganism, some of which was not positive or helpful. 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. Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

Dr. Eric Williamson, a registered dietitian and expert in exercise nutrition, shares insights on the complexities of weight loss. He explains how common calorie counting methods are often misguided and how our bodies adapt during weight loss. Eric discusses the role of hormones and muscle mass in metabolism, emphasizing that appetite management is crucial. Instead of focusing solely on restrictions, he advocates for a nourishing mindset that promotes balanced meals and support for sustainable weight loss.

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. Check out my Hunger Crushing Combo playlist here for lots of HCC inspo:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBsTEGKqVLg&list=PLVstyvOTT8A-zrgOp2jcmJJFcyN4RNZX8Important Moments:References:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18827579/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3718776/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3649463/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7972417/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523292461?ref=pdf_download&fr=RR-2&rr=88880777798f3972https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4251481/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4034047/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4578962/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31256714/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34538033/https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)48905-8/fulltexthttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/x2xza-km768https://med.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Nutrition/An_Introduction_to_Nutrition_(Zimmerman)/05%3A_Lipids/5.04%3A_Digestion_and_Absorption_of_Lipidshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18097844/https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-54535-xhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7259519/ Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.
