  • The SHOCKING Pipeline to the ”Red Pill” Manosphere from Health & Nutrition Content Online with Dr. Emily Contois

    The SHOCKING Pipeline to the ”Red Pill” Manosphere from Health & Nutrition Content Online with Dr. Emily Contois
    Apr 15 2025
    In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be talking to Dr Emily Contois, an Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa specializing in how identities are formed at the vital intersection of food, the body, and ideas about health. She is the author of “Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture” and co-editor of “Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation”. Today we will be riding on the heels of the popular Netflix show Adolescence, we are exploring the very scary effect of the manosphere, incel and “red pill” subcultures on young boys. Today we’re going to chat about how the patriarchy harms not just women, but men as well. We discuss the dangerous teachings of the manosphere and leading influencers like Andrew Tate. We also talk about the pipeline that young men are finding themselves going down starting with innocuous places (ie. self improvement, dating, fitness, dieting) that lures them into incel culture. We talk in detail about the intersection between diet culture and the manosphere and the lack of body positivity movements for men. We talk about the role of bullying, social isolation, AI, p0rn, types of school, and gender roles modelled at home. I finish with a list of potential actionable tips to help you start to build emotional resilience, media literacy and tolerance to different expressions of gender to help set the stage to allow your kids to reject these manosphere ideologies. Be sure to check out my first episode with Emily: “Ladies eat salad, men eat steak & burgers”.References:https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/primary/readhttps://aibm.org/research/male-suicide-data/?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/data.html?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.bbfc.co.uk/about-us/news/children-see-pornography-as-young-as-seven-new-report-findshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39907845/https://cyberbullying.org/cyberbullying-continues-to-rise-among-youth-in-the-united-states-2023?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://tribune.com.pk/story/2536330/netflix-drama-adolescence-prompts-anti-misogyny-curriculum-shift-in-uk-schoolshttps://unpluggedcanada.com/Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr Emily Contois, Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa.

  • Breaking Up with “Breast is Best”: Breastmilk vs Formula Myths and Truths with Dr. Lauren Hughes

    Breaking Up with “Breast is Best”: Breastmilk vs Formula Myths and Truths with Dr. Lauren Hughes
    Apr 8 2025
    In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I am chatting breastfeeding with Dr Lauren Hughes, a board certified pediatrician, lactation consultant, mom and founder of Bloom pediatrics. I will start by sharing my own personal story about breastfeeding struggles and Lauren and I will vent over the enormous pressures women feel by “breast is best” messaging. We will also talk about the potential dangers to baby and mom of insisting on breastfeeding at any and all costs. Lauren will chat about the *actual* risks of various activities and substances while breastfeeding (alcohol, caffeine, ozempic, smoking, CBD and THC) and discuss whether or not you should change your diet while breastfeeding if baby is fussy. And I will break down the data on the benefits of breastfeeding over formula for baby’s health, and future risk of obesity and low IQ when we rule out socioeconomic confounders (spoiler: the benefits might not be as profound as you might think). Note the purpose of this episode is not to downplay the benefits of breastfeeding for mom or baby, but to help empower women to feel confident in the feeding choices they make.Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr. Lauren Hughes, MD, IBCLCInstagram: @bloomdpcWebsite: drlaurenhughes.com References:Cribsheet by Emily Osterhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29191700/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6691042/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37881498/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cea.12228https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/193490https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0196070994901341#:~:text=Results%3A%20The%20risk%20of%20AOM,who%20were%20never%20breast%2Dfed.https://www.pure.fo/en/publications/risk-factors-of-early-otitis-media-in-the-danish-national-birth-c#:~:text=When%20a%20Bonferroni%20correction%20was,a%20risk%20of%20early%20OM.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29084835/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8696193/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28398851/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4077166/#:~:text=Results%20from%20standard%20multiple%20regression,of%20the%2011%20outcomes%20studied.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1633786/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1633819/ Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

    Pregnancy Nutrition DOs & DONTs (without the Fearmongering Diet Culture) with Dr. Jess Knurick
    Mar 11 2025

    In todays episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I chat with Dr Jessica Knurick, a fellow registered dietitian who specializes in pregnancy nutrition with a PhD in physical activity, nutrition and wellness. We will be discussing how diet culture and wellness culture loves to pray on pregnant people. We will chat about the actual impact of mom’s diet during pregnancy on baby’s health and development, and which foods you should absolutely avoid vs which are a risk/benefit analysis. We will be debunking myths around the glucose tolerance test and so called “toxins” in baby formula (and Jess will explain why they include sugar and seed oils). And we will chat about when to be concerned about pregnancy weight gain, and tips for making peace with your changing body and food.
