  • Are Toxins in Your Beauty Products Making You Sick? Unpacking the Risks of “Chemical” vs “Clean” Skin Care with Dr. Michelle Wong

    Are Toxins in Your Beauty Products Making You Sick? Unpacking the Risks of “Chemical” vs “Clean” Skin Care with Dr. Michelle Wong
    Feb 18 2025
    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.

  • Want to BOOST Your Metabolism? The Science on Metabolism Hacks for Weight Loss

    Want to BOOST Your Metabolism? The Science on Metabolism Hacks for Weight Loss
    Feb 11 2025
    In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m going to be unpacking all things metabolism. I will be explaining in detail that metabolism is a lot more than just how many calories you burn to maintain your body weight, and exactly how much your metabolism slows down with aging and weight loss. I then will be going into detail on various metabolism boosting “hacks” and exactly how many extra calories they would burn. These include: eating breakfast, mini meals/snacks, cold plunges, spicy food, caffeine and green tea, HIIT workouts, protein and muscle mass. Finally, I will be talking about the effect of an increased metabolism on fat loss (it’s a bit depressing…) This episode is loaded with quotable details you won’t want to miss!!Thank you to Eric Williamson for the research support on this episode.

  • “DO YOUR RESEARCH!!” and Other Dangerous Conspiracy Wellness Tropes are Destroying our Mental Health with Dr. Jonathan Stea

    “DO YOUR RESEARCH!!” and Other Dangerous Conspiracy Wellness Tropes are Destroying our Mental Health with Dr. Jonathan Stea
    Feb 4 2025

    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.

Compassionate, educated, and fun

Love the emotionally intelligent questions and answers and the no-nonsense science to back up their logic. I found Abbey on YouTube and am ecstatic to listen to more long form content from her and her trusted interviewees.

I wish the podcast volume matched the ad volume so I dont have to rush to lower my volume when the ads pop up but other than that I really enjoy her insight and joyful vibe!
