In this episode, Cole Kazdin returns (her second time on the pod!) to talk to Abbie about perimenopause and all the misinformation out there about it.

Dr. Marissa Raymond-Flesch talks with Abbie about leading a groundbreaking clinical trial at UCSF exploring psilocybin-assisted therapy for young adults with anorexia — a first-of-its-kind study looking at whether psychedelics might help loosen some of that rigidity, support new ways of relating to food and the body, and offer hope where other approaches haven’t.

Deb Benfield, RDN, returns to talk about what it really means to age unapologetically.

In this episode, Abbie answers a listener question about why chronic illness and disordered eating overlap so often.

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.

On this new episode of the Full Plate Podcast, Abbie is joined by Dr. Regina Lazarovich, a clinical psychologist, Health at Every Size (HAES)–aligned provider, and someone with lived experience of binge eating and perfectionism.

Oona Hanson, educator and parent coach who supports families navigating diet culture and eating disorders, joins the pod to talk about midlife body challenges as well as the pressures teens are facing around food and weight.

Ragen Chastain is back to continue our conversation about weight, health, and diet culture — this time answering listener questions about the GLP-1s you’ve been hearing so much about: Wegovy, Ozempic, and other weight-loss drugs.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Ragen Chastain — researcher, writer, speaker, and thought leader in weight science and weight stigma.

Mallary Tenore Tarpley joins the pod to talk about the middle place between being acutely ill or completely healed from your eating disorder.

Sandi James — a registered psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach — joins Abbie to talk about her lived experience with both eating disorders and substance abuse, and how her own healing has profoundly shaped her work.

MAHA, diet culture, and toxic fitness ideals...this is the second half of my conversation with Ilya Parker.

Ilya Parker, founder of Decolonizing Fitness, joins Abbie to share how gender transition, weight stigma, and ableism shaped their path into fitness and ultimately inspired a new vision for movement.

Julie Duffy Dillon, RD joins Abbie to talk about PCOS (Policystic Ovary Syndrome), how it intersects with diet culture, and why dieting and weight loss are not actually evidence based approaches to managing this health condition.

This might be my favorite conversation we’ve had on this podcast. It's a conversation I had with Edie Stark (an ED therapist) and Sharon Maxwell (a fat activist and weight-inclusive consultant), and we’re answering a very important – very hard – listener question.

In this listener-favorite episode, Debra Benfield, RDN joins the pod to speak with me about the intersection of diet culture, anti-fatness, and anti-aging.

Dr. Colleen Reichmann—a clinical psychologist, author, and eating disorder specialist—joins me this week to talk about hopelessness and despair in eating disorder recovery.

Lately, intermittent fasting has been getting more attention as a possible approach for women in midlife. And as with most health trends, this has sparked a lot of questions — and just as many opinions.

Vinny Welsby (@fiercefatty) joins me for a lot of laughs this week, but mostly for a deeply important conversation about the dangers of weight-centric medical care.

Nutritionist and eating disorder expert Chris Sandel joins me on the pod to unpack one of the most pivotal (and haunting) studies in nutrition science: the Minnesota Starvation Experiment.
