Enjoy this special feed drop of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp. In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m joined by Canadian actor, podcaster, and cystic fibrosis advocate Jeremie Saunders, host of the hit show SickBoy. Building on his lived experience with CF, Jeremie has built a platform that breaks stigma and opens up real conversations about what it means to live well with chronic illness. Together, we talk about the disorienting reality of rapid body changes — whether from medication, illness, or simply moving through different stages of life — and how to navigate these shifts with compassion and grace. This conversation goes beyond chronic disease, offering lessons that resonate with anyone who’s ever struggled with body image, identity, or change. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: Introduction Life With Cystic Fibrosis Food Challenges With Cystic Fibrosis Trikafta and the Metabolic Shift Becoming a Stranger in Your Own Body Body Changes, CF, and the Rise of #SkinnyTok Diet Culture Temptations and Disordered Eating When Wellness Culture Gets It Wrong Why “Natural” Isn’t a Moral Flex Humour as a Tool for Coping With Chronic Illness Self-Compassion Through Body Changes Gratitude, Growth, and Moving Forward Check in with today’s amazing guest: Podcast: Sickboy Instagram: @jeremiesaunders Youtube: /sickboymedia Disclaimer: The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.
