#75 Red Dye, Raw Milk, & Nutrition Myths: What Moms Deserve to Know with Dr. Jessica Knurick
Description
This one’s for the mom who saw one too many “you’re poisoning your kids” videos and panicked. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Knurick—PhD in Nutrition Science and certified dietitian—to talk about the wellness misinformation targeting moms, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
We unpack:
- What “ultra-processed” actually means (spoiler: it’s not just junk food)
- Seed oils, food dyes, and the scary headlines
- Why formulas contain what they do—and what’s true about high fructose corn syrup
- The difference between correlation and causation (and the shark attack example that changed my brain)
- How to spot fear-mongering and bad science online
And we get honest about why moms are especially vulnerable to fear-based marketing—and how to protect our peace while still caring deeply.
“Your baby isn’t being poisoned. You’re just being marketed to.” — Dr. Jessica Knurick
