Full Plate by Abbie Attwood
Full Plate is where we talk about what it means to have a body in this world through the lens of autonomy, compassion, and liberation. I'm especially focused on the intersection of disordered eating with chronic illness and neurodivergence.

You Understand Diet Culture, So Why Do You Still Hate Your Body? with Stephanie Dodier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of us can relate to getting to a particularly frustrating place in this work where we know so much about diet culture.We understand that bodies are diverse and why dieting doesn’t work the way we’ve been promised it will. We can see the ways thinness, beauty, health, gender, and worth have been tangled together. We might even be very good at extending all of that compassion and nuance to other people.And then we look at our own body and think: Okay, but why do I still feel like shit about m
I overdid it last week so here is a recipe for blueberry coffee cake. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I woke up last Friday morning and knew immediately that I had done too much that week. It’s hard to explain the particular type of fatigue I’ve felt as I’ve recovered from my SCAD heart attack, but it’s unlike anything I have felt before — even across a history of chronic illness and hospitalizations. Needless to say, my body was talking to me. When I say I did too much, it was mostly that I spent more time and energy working than I have in a while (plus the add
Beyond GLP-1 Weight Loss: Weight Regain, Long-Term Use, and Pharma Influence with Ragen Chastain (Part Two) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is part two of my conversation with Ragen Chastain. We pick up right where we left off: with the question of what happens when people stop taking GLP-1 medications, and whether “taking them for life” is actually supported by the research.From there, Ragen walks us through the research on weight regain, body composition changes, and the increasingly broad claims that GLP-1 medications can treat everything from cardiovascular disease to mental health concerns. We also talk about pharmaceutica
I still care about my health. I just care about it differently. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Healing our relationship with food and our bodies is a messy process. I’ve been doing this work for a long time (in a personal and professional capacity), and that’s something I know for sure. But I’d say that one of the messiest and most misunderstood parts of the healing process is figuring out what it actually means to care about our health, separate from diet culture.Because, despite the narrative that we’re “letting ourselves go” if we stop protein-maxxing, controlling our body size, follow
GLP-1 Medications: What We Know About Safety, Food Noise, and Weight Loss with Ragen Chastain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have gone from relatively niche diabetes medications to one of the biggest (and most controversial) stories in health and wellness. As you may have noticed, I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from the podcast the past couple of months while I’ve been recovering from a SCAD heart attack. Today, I'm back with a brand new conversation about weight loss drugs with Ragen Chastain, a researcher, writer, speaker, and board-certified patient advoc
