Ep 73 – The LONGEVITY Industry Is LYING to You (Are We Living Longer or Avoiding Living?)
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we unpack the rise of the longevity and anti-aging obsession—from biohacking routines to supplement stacks and “biological age” tracking. I break down what the science actually says about living longer, which nutrition strategies truly matter, and where the wellness industry is overreaching.

Ep 71 – Food Noise, Ozempic and the Drug-Free Solutions NO ONE is Talking About
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re unpacking “food noise” — the constant mental chatter around food, from planning and negotiating to guilt and compensation.

In this solo episode, I break down the psychological and physiological drivers behind food noise, how medications like GLP-1s may help suppress it, and practical, non-pharmacological strategies to quiet the noise in a more sustainable way.

Ep 67 – Blackface. Body Shaming. Sexual Assault. The America’s Next Top Model Reckoning is FINALLY Here.
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re revisiting one of the most iconic — and deeply problematic — cultural touchstones of the early 2000s: America’s Next Top Model. For many millennials, the show wasn’t just entertainment — it shaped how we understood beauty, bodies, ambition, and what it meant to be “marketable.” In light of Netflix’s docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, we’re unpacking the gap between the show’s “progressive” branding and the reality of what it normalized — from humiliation and body shaming to blurred boundaries around race, identity, and contestant wellbeing.
