Summary

EP93. Why do we have a tendency to reject help or "suffer" in silence? Why is it hard to ask for help or tell someone what it is that you need in order better your well-being? Renee tells us about a recent experience where she wanted to respond to her husband as a martyr would. But, she caught herself and chose a much better response that didn't result in building resentment or ruining the rest of the evening. If acting/thinking like a martyr sounds familiar to you, this episode is a must listen! Renee also answers two listener questions about staying calm when your toddler is having a meltdown and resentment!

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

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,

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

This podcast is brought to you have always wanted. Welcome to the Thursday episode. This is a

2:27.8

the term is used, especially when it comes to being a mom, then it applies. So the history of it, it's a Greek word, and martyr was
