| 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 |

| 2:02.3 | And I was already working as a psychologist at that time. |
| 2:05.6 | And I was working in a women's clinic in a hospital. |
| 2:08.1 | But I was the only person on staff who had children. |
