| 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. |
| 0:44.8 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. |
| 1:13.6 | And I'm definitely the mom friend you have always wanted. All right, let's talk about languishing. |
| 1:19.3 | For the last few months, I have been telling my husband over and over that I just feel blah. |
| 1:26.3 | And as someone who's usually good at understanding why they feel a certain way and being able to verbalize it. I have not been able to verbalize it. |

| 1:52.9 | that the last year and living through this pandemic and how that's changed our day to day lives |
| 1:59.2 | has something to do with it. But it's hard when there's not |
| 2:02.1 | one single thing that you can pinpoint because then you can't change things to make it better, |
| 2:09.2 | if that makes sense. Like if, you know, if I'm in a fight with my sister and it's making me feel |
| 2:14.6 | really upset, I know what can make me feel better. I would resolve any |
| 2:20.4 | issue that I have with my sister, have a conversation with her, whatever it might be. But this |
| 2:25.0 | languishing feeling is like, you can't really put a finger on why you feel this way. So many of you |
| 2:32.6 | sent me this article that was written by Adam Grant. |
