| 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 by Podcast Nation. |

| 1:31.6 | which honestly is so beneficial for patients because I remember after giving birth to Milo, |
| 1:37.8 | our family doctor had two little kids. And it was so nice to talk to her at appointments. She knew exactly what I was going through. |
| 1:49.1 | She took time with me to explain everything. I didn't feel rushed. And I honestly think when |
| 1:55.8 | someone else has gone through it, or they have children and they understand how stressful it can be when your child |
| 2:01.8 | is sick. They just approach the entire situation with a little bit of empathy and kindness. |
| 2:11.5 | In this episode, we talk all about her transition to becoming a mom and also being a physician. We get into the overload of |
| 2:20.9 | information that parents are dealing with now, especially as she calls it Dr. Google. You know, |
| 2:26.8 | your child wakes up sick with some kind of ailment and you're instantly Googling it and being |
