Summary
In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by registered dietitian Abbey Sharp for a refreshing, evidence-based conversation about nutrition that isn’t rooted in restriction or diet culture. Abbey breaks down her “Hunger Crushing Combo” — a simple framework built around fiber, protein, and healthy fats — and explains why focusing on what you can add to your plate is often more sustainable than obsessing over what to cut out.
Abbey also opens up about her personal history with orthorexia and how that experience shaped her mission to help people build a more peaceful relationship with food. We talk about blood sugar balance, honoring hunger cues, and what “healthy” can look like when it’s actually realistic for real life.
Plus, we get into the impact of social media on body image, along with practical wellness topics like supplements, sleep, and navigating nutrition through menopause. If you’re looking for a grounded approach to feeling your best — without the all-or-nothing mindset — this episode is for you.
