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.

There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible

to know what's real and what's BS.

On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food,

their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the

fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Welcome to the mom room room podcast. My name is Renee Rina and I am definitely the mom friend

you have always wanted. Welcome to Tuesday's episode. Today is a mom chat day.

And I always get messages saying, can you do more mom chats? So I'm going to try and do more in the future.

Usually what I do is I have people write in about a topic they want to talk about, but it's also just a casual chat where I get to know them and find out more about their life, their transition into motherhood and whatnot. So today is two mom chats. One is not a listener. It's actually my friend Kathy. Because if you remember on my

Instagram stories, I shared how Milo didn't want to take the school bus anymore. And so I had been

driving him. And I got a few DMs of people saying, do you really think you should be driving him?

You know, when I was a child, I didn't have any options.

It was like, you just, you have to get on the bus.

You have to go to school.

And I understand what people are saying because someone else messaged me and they were like,

how do you find the balance of not giving into your child, but like accommodating them when they don't

want to do something versus, you know, teaching them that sometimes in life we have to do things that we don't want to do. And I get it. They were like, you know, if I give in to my kid, then my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law are like, you're setting him up for failure in life. he's not going to understand that, you know, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do.

And like, I get it. I can see both. you're setting him up for failure in life. He's not going to understand that, you know,

sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. And like, I get it. I can see both sides of the argument. So Kathy and I have a really good discussion about that exact question. Like, when do

you give in to your kid? And I use air quotes, like give in to your kid, versus, you know, explain to them that there isn't an option.

So we get into that.
