| 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. |
| 0:49.7 | Welcome to the mom room. This is going to be a buffet episode. That's what I've decided to call it, |
| 0:54.9 | because I was sitting here and I'm like, oh, I have to record my episode for tomorrow. What should I |
| 0:59.2 | talk about? And I made a list and none of it makes sense, but it's just things that have been on my |

| 1:10.2 | messages. So many people DM'd me saying that they were listening to the episode, Tuesday's episode, and told me stories about them losing a parent and how their experience was very similar to mine. It's one of those things where I feel vulnerable and like weird sharing something, |
| 1:30.8 | but then everybody messages me and is like, oh my God, B2, yeah, same. So it's always nice to |
| 1:36.8 | talk about these things because we all feel like we're the only ones experiencing something |
| 1:42.0 | or going through something in a specific way. But then you |
| 1:44.9 | hear someone share their story and you're like, oh, okay, we're all a lot more similar than we think. |
| 1:51.4 | I will say my motivation, it's weird. I feel pretty good. I haven't had many random outbursts of |
| 1:59.3 | crying or anything like that, a little bit of difficulty |
| 2:03.0 | falling asleep at night. So the last two nights, I took a gravel to help me sleep, which is |
| 2:08.1 | probably terrible. I know this, but I was like, how terrible is it? Because it's more terrible, |
| 2:14.8 | perhaps, to not sleep all night and then try and function the next day. |
| 2:19.3 | So I'm giving myself time to try and fall asleep and see what it feels like, but I know when my mind |
