On this bonus episode, Abbie’s husband, Jeb, joins the pod (back by popular demand!) to help her answer holiday questions from listeners. The questions get at the heart of all the ways the holiday season can impact our thoughts, anxieties, and behaviors around food, body image, and relationships.

Mary Jelkovsky (@maryscupofteaa) joins us to share her journey about being a young fitness influencer, developing disordered eating, and healing from the toxicity of fitness culture.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), its connection to neurodivergence, and the misconceptions surrounding so-called “picky eaters.”

“I believe in body liberation and anti-diet culture. But what if I’m just uncomfortable being fat?” This is a free preview of this week’s bonus episode, and truly, it’s not to be missed.

This week on the Full Plate Podcast, we have two returning guests: Edie Stark and Sharon Maxwell! This episode is Part One of two parts.

Shana Spence, a registered dietitian who you might know as @thenutritiontea on social media, joins the pod to bust myths about processed foods and to discuss how family, culture, privilege, and societal influences shape our relationship with food.

From control to distraction, we often tend to turn to bodies as a coping tool. Join me for this brief (but hopefully meaningful) conversation about these thoughts, why they surface, and  supportive tools to nurture yourself through challenging times.

It's Halloween time. And that means...plenty of candy. Maybe more than usual? Maybe not. In this special bonus episode, I'm answering a listener question about what to do if you feel like you can't eat candy without binge-eating it, how to approach candy with your kids, and whether we can truly give ourselves unconditional permission to eat all that sugar.

Author and well-being educator Nakeia Homer joins us to talk about releasing things (habits, people, beliefs) we've clung to for years—sometimes decades. As Nakeia beautifully explains, letting go is rarely about the thing or person itself, but rather what it symbolizes for us.

This week on the Full Plate Podcast, Chrissy King is back! We are discussing how the same cultural programming that makes dieting feel compulsory can also make dating, marriage, and children feel that way too.

In this bonus episode, we dive into why seeing photos of ourselves—especially in group settings—can trigger feelings of body shame and comparison. This is in response to a listener question, specifically about hating a photo and feeling pulled to diet again.

We're diving into the connection between drinking and diet culture in this episode. Lael Atkinson, a recovery coach, joins to speak with Abbie about their experiences with disordered eating, alcohol, and body image, and how these issues have intersected in their life.

Summer returns for her second (!!) time on the pod to speak with Abbie about the challenges of body image during perimenopause.

Welcome to a very special bonus episode, where Abbie hosts a live Q&A call with the Full Plate Patreon community. This is a FREE preview of the conversation, but you can hear the FULL episode as a member of Patreon.

On this week’s episode of the Full Plate Podcast, Natalie Rose joins us to share her journey with disordered eating, body image, and orthorexia .

I sat down with my friend Jenna Werner (@happystronghealthy on IG), a registered dietitian and intuitive eating counselor, to explore the complexities of our relationship with movement—including her own history with compulsive exercise, the importance of ditching the “all-or-nothing” mentality, and what it means to find peace and attunement amidst the noise of fitness culture.

On this week’s bonus episode of Full Plate, I answer two questions submitted by Patreon subscribers and dig into whether moderation is really as wise of a concept as it’s been deemed, and whether emotion and eating need to be separated.

You cannot cause diabetes by eating sugar and carbs. We're debunking common myths about diabetes to give you a deeper understanding of this condition, its connection to disordered eating, how to spot misinformation about nutrition for diabetes management, and ways to care for yourself without diet culture tactics. We discuss prediabetes, medication, the foundation of a weight-inclusive approach, and address rampant weight stigma and anti-fat bias in the diabetes space.

Veronica shares her truth-iest experiences with body shame, the areas of her life where she still struggles to divest from diet culture, the impact her food freedom has had on her marriage, and the crucial components of her healing (hello, Lexapro). We also talk about fear of other peoples’ opinions, food shame, macro counting, advocating for yourself with doctors, and overcoming food comparison.

This week on the Full Plate Podcast, Yasmine Cheyenne joins to help us heal as we walk some of our most challenging paths: self-forgiveness, people-pleasing, unhealthy relationships, and comparison. From how we can the suffering that stems from perfectionism, to the red flags that lead to painful and repetitive cycles, and how we can learn to put ourselves first.
