| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.9 | This podcast is brought to you have always wanted. |

| 1:57.4 | exciting. And we decided at that moment that she needs to come on the podcast and talk about attachment. A huge topic on TikTok right now is like on my TikTok anyways is attachment and sleep training. |
| 2:11.1 | So we have a very detailed discussion about what is attachment. what is the difference between attachment science |
| 2:19.8 | and attachment parenting, does sleep training affect the attachment bond between parent and child, |
| 2:27.8 | how to foster a secure attachment in your child? Because everybody asks that question. |
| 2:33.5 | Every time I put up a video about |
| 2:35.0 | attachment, people have questions in the comments. Like, I'll always remember this one comment that I |
