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.

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?
