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
