| 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. Welcome to the mom room. I didn't mean to do that. It's just I paused because I wasn't sure if it was actually recording yet. And so I don't know why I did that. I apologize. Anyways, welcome. Today my plan was to talk about hormones and my journey with hormones. I know if you're watching on YouTube, the background looks |

| 1:30.8 | finish the decorations, get a new rug, even though you can't see the rug on camera, it does not |

| 1:42.7 | recording with a background that looks the exact same |
| 1:46.1 | every single week, have a guest come on and record in the studio. Oh my God, it's been, I feel like |
| 1:53.0 | Taylor Swift. I was just going to say, it's been a long time coming, but it's you and me. That's my |
| 1:58.4 | home. Anyways, speaking of Taylor Swift, I just want to say since I became a |
| 2:03.1 | Swifty and I went to the heirs tour twice and now her music is like all I listen to |
| 2:07.9 | besides podcasts when I'm reading my book or just living life I could be watching a TV |
| 2:13.4 | show like I was just watching parenthood and he said a Taylor Swift lyric. Obviously, |
| 2:20.8 | it's a saying in the English language first and foremost, but when you hear things or you see |
| 2:27.6 | words, I immediately think about a Taylor Swift song. Like, I cannot read the word enchanted. No, |
| 2:33.4 | no, no, no, no, no. All is well that |
