| 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. |
| 0:44.9 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. |
| 0:49.5 | Welcome to Tuesday's episode. Today will be a popular one because we are talking about relationships |
| 0:55.8 | post babies. And by relationships, I mean romantic relationships, marriages, you know, that kind of thing. |
| 1:05.6 | Today we are talking with Stacy and Rachel and they are the duo behind the decoding couples' Instagram account. |
| 1:14.0 | They also have a podcast, a YouTube channel. They are just doing all the things. They are both |

| 1:25.7 | relationships and marriage. Their mission is to take the |
| 1:30.0 | complications out of communication, which you think communication is just straightforward and simple, |
| 1:36.7 | but it is not. In this episode, we go over what is the difference between a relationship |
| 1:41.7 | and a partnership. We also chat about why 67% of couples |
| 1:47.5 | report a huge decline in relational satisfaction after having kids. Why is this happening? How can we |
| 1:55.8 | prevent this from happening or get back to what our relationship used to be. We also talk about expectations, which |
| 2:03.3 | I love the concept of expectations when I'm talking about anything in life, but specifically |
| 2:10.8 | expectations in a relationship so important. And honestly, sometimes we don't even realize what our expectations are until we actually sit and think, like, why am I pissed off right now? Oh, it's because I had this expectation and it was not being met. We also chat about burnout in a relationship. We always talk about burnout with regard to work or motherhood, but what about |
| 2:36.8 | burnout in a romantic relationship? And then we get into boundaries in a romantic relationship. What |
| 2:43.5 | would these look like? This might be one of those episodes that you send to your partner. |
