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. So today I am speaking with Heather Larson,

otherwise known as veganish mama on her blog and on Instagram. I've been following Heather for a long

time now. And while I don't consume much social media content, I do always follow her stories

because she is honest about motherhood. She has two young boys and she

inspires me to make meals and try certain products that I otherwise wouldn't. She loves the

spice girls and she used to be a cheese taste tester before she transitioned to being

veganish. And I feel like that could be the plot of a movie.

But so before we get into feeding toddler stuff and some plant-based meal ideas,

I thought you could just tell us about yourself and your family and how you went from being a cheese taster to being plant-based. And did that have anything to do with going plant-based?

So I'm a mom. I have two little boys, a four-year-old, and now one-year-old. And we went plant-based

when my older son was about three and a half months old, when I was on mat leave from my job as a cheese

tester so I ran the Canadian test kitchen for like one of the largest dairy companies probably in the

world and I tasted mostly pizza all day long and I would like test cheese and how it melted on

pizza and how it tasted on pizza like 30 pizzas a day.

And that was my job. Yeah. And then I went on Mat leave and had to tell HR like, sorry, I can't come back to work because I've gone vegan.
