Dietitians Are BEGGING People to Quit These 2025 Diet Trends Before it’s Too Late (SkinnyTok, Sketchy Peptides, Biohacking & MORE!)

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I reflect on a truly exhausting year in nutrition and wellness culture. From the rise of SkinnyTok to recycled diet culture trends disguised as “health,” it’s been a relentless cycle of misinformation — especially for science communicators trying to push back against it. I walk through some of the most frustrating nutrition and wellness trends of the year, share why they’ve been so draining to address, and end on a more hopeful note by highlighting moments of viral clarity that remind us we’re not completely doomed.
