| 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 have always wanted. Welcome to the Thursday episode. This is a |
| 1:14.1 | solo episode and I am talking about martyr tendencies. I just did a story on Instagram and as I said |
| 1:21.9 | martyr. It sounded like murder and so the captions on my stories put murder so if you're tuning in to listen to me |
| 1:30.5 | talk about murder tendencies that's not what I'm talking about today that's a different podcast |

| 1:54.9 | that I was having a martyr moment. Oh, that's a good term, martyr moment. Some people were like, is it really being a martyr |
| 2:03.1 | though, isn't it, you know, something else? And if you look at the history of what the word |
| 2:10.1 | martyr means, it's kind of changed over time. So when, because initially I just did a quick Google search of martyr and I was like, |
| 2:20.0 | oh, that's not what I'm trying to describe. But then when you look at the more recent ways in which |
| 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 |
| 2:37.9 | meant to describe someone who suffers persecution and death for advocating, renouncing, |
| 2:44.7 | refusing to renounce, or refusing to advocate a religious belief or cause as demanded by an external party. |
| 2:52.8 | So their sole purpose is to, let's say, advocate for whatever religious beliefs |
