Episode 39: Gut Health

May 16th, 2013 by thepaleoview

Our thirty-ninth show!

Ep. 39: Gut Health

In this episode, Stacy and Sarah discuss gut health, food allergies vs. intolerances, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth treatment, the various forms of elimination dieting to aid in gut recovery, and H. pylori.

On Sunday, May 12. The Paleo View launched their first every bonus episode - The Mother's Day show! Download the first bonus show by clicking here! And be on the lookout for our monthly, pay bonus podcast!

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 39: Gut Health

  • 0:00 - Introduction
  • 1:19 - News & Views
    • Coming off the Beyond Bacon chaos, Stacy returned to Crossfit and is overall working towards recovery from the stress load
    • Stacy had a great Mother's Day, complete with Urban Poser's Samoa Donuts - experienced a refreshing awareness where her sweet tooth was easily satisfied and she didn't feel the need to go over board
    • Sarah had a great couple of days and is very close to being done with part two of the book and then she will work on the cookbook section, which she is really excited to shift gears to
    • The Paleo Approach is roughly 210,000 words right now, the book is an information dense book and people are getting a tremendous deal
    • Sarah has made the science in the book incredibly approachable, just like it is on her blog, and it is truly a complete guide
    • Part two of the book is all about the practical implementation - what lifestyle factors to focus on
    • The book is a beast, with the nickname the encyclopedia - Sarah feels like she is racing for the finish line, but feels like she is going to make it and is looking forward to her three days off before editing work comes
    • On Mother's Day Sarah and her family hung out at home and played outside - it was a nice day
    • The special bonus episode went live on Mother's Day (May 12) and is available on iTunes, but you have to look for it under a song and not a podcast
      • The Paleo View will be offered for free, but the The Paleo View Bonus Shows are offered at a minimal cost to recoup some of the costs that have gone into the show
      • It is $0.99 per episode on the CD Baby site, but we don't know what iTunes will charge.
      • The show is an expanded 'News and Views' format of The Paleo View and is a personal, intimate discussion
    • Sarah hasn't yet had a chance to listen to the Bonus Show because of book work
    • Stacy was kind of taken back by the level of intimacy that the discussion took, and feels like mothers and daughters will in particular take a lot away on relationship development
    • Stacy's treadmill desk broke, so is now working from a standing desk
    • Sarah spends a decent amount of time standing at her treadmill desk, especially when reading fine print or after eating a meal - is overall feeling so much better sitting less
    • Stacy wants a standing desk for work, but is worried about being the weird one and how to handle the days where she doesn't wear flats
    • Stacy tells the world to go check out whatshouldwecallpaleolife.tumblr.com - it is great when you need a laugh!
    • Reminder, please leave your reviews on both The Paleo View and Bonus Show on iTunes!
    • Welcome new listeners! Happy belated Mother's Day!
    • Episode 38 is a science-y show about gut health, h pylori, small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, and gut repair
  • 24:53 - Science with Sarah: Why do people react more violently to a food after eliminating it? When you stop reacting to food, is that an indicator that your gut has healed?
    • In every gut there are cells that sample the environment inside the gut and present what they find to the immune system, essentially patrolling
    • If you have a leaky gut, a lot more of what is in the gut leaks out and is presented to the immune system
    • Food intolerances and food allergies are both different kinds of antibodies
    • The cells that produce these antibodies are part of the immune system and are there to develop immunity towards certain things
    • There are a number of cells in the immune system - protectors, therapists to calm, directors
    • When you get to the end of an infection it is the director cells that divide and conquer and makes sure that the immune system doesn't attack the wrong things and that it deactivates once the threat is gone
    • With a food intolerance and food allergy, the middle management cells are directing antibodies
    • In a normal person you achieve immune tolerance towards the food, which is an equal balance between the middle management cells and the suppressing cells - thus having no symptoms
    • If you have a food allergy or intolerance the system is out of balance
    • When you start any elimination diet you can experience exaggerated responses to small exposures for a number of reasons
    • As your immune system regulates and your body heals, eventually you will end up at a point where both the cells that respond to food are at low levels
    • You could eventually reach the point where exposures to food intolerances will not cause dramatic responses - it is a sign that your system has regulated
    • How long it takes to get there is dependent on a number of factors, including genetics, stress level, sleep quality, nutrient density in diet, hormone regulation
    • During the Cavekids PaleoFX panel, Chris Kresser mentioned that health isn't having a violent reaction to bad food, that is the process to healing - health is when your body knows how to recover from the exposure to bad food (The Paleo View episode where gut health recovery was discussed with Diane Sanfilippo)
    • Stacy notes that people on a paleo diet will heal their gut in time, that there is another side to the intense negative reactions to an exposure where you body will better handle the minor exposures
    • Thanks to Russ from The Domestic Man for chatting about this topic with Stacy, which sparked the suggestion for this podcast topic
  • 36:57 - Q&A
    • Brittany: Our current Functional Medicine Doctor thinks my family has SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and wants us on FODMAP free diet. With all our other food issues, I am concerned that we won't get the nutrition needed, that my breastmilk will suffer along with my children's sleep. What is the difference between FODMAPS, GAPS and SCD?
      • Stacy recommends that they look into a GAPS diet and a very structured approach to healing their gut
      • It can be difficult to put kids on a limited diet, but Stacy has seen and heard amazing success stories from people who take a serious approach to healing their gut
      • Sarah notes that GAPS and SCD are very similar
      • GAPS is more of an inclusive system and includes some detoxification elements
      • The general concept behind both GAPS and SCD is that you starve the bacteria in the gut
      • GAPS places an emphasis on gut healing foods, and both highlight digestive enzyme supplements
      • FODMAPS are fermentable sugars, and are sugars and fibers that are rich in fructose, but also includes sugar alcohols and long fiber chains rich in fructose - they are difficult for the body to digest and absorb, and ferment easy - making it easy for the bacteria to eat
      • These are known as the gassy foods, and in someone with FODMAP sensitivity this is called fructose malabsorption, which means your body is having a hard time digesting and absorbing these sugars so there is more to feed the bacteria
      • The autoimmune protocol combines some of those things, but focuses on the inclusion of foods that normalize gut bacteria
      • Omega 3 fatty acids and fiber are the two foods known to have the most profound impact on the composition of your gut
      • Even though there is a large amount of evidence, there are no scientific studies to back up the impact of a GAPS and SCD diet, the low FODMAP diet has a high amount of scientific research to back it up
      • One of the issues that people face when they adopt a GAPS or SCD diet is that eventually the low crab intake starves the overgrowth, but also starves the good bacteria and you need to introduce prebiotics
      • Which means eating more vegetables, starchy vegetables, fruit
      • Stacy notes that if you are new to a paleo diet, focus on cutting out the junk first, and as you get further into it find ways to maximize the nutrient density of the foods you eat and to ultimately improve your gut health
      • Sometimes you have to eat the things you eat because your body needs it (bone broth, organ meat, sardines, etc.)
      • No matter which of these paths you select, autoimmune, GAPS, SCD, etc. take the nutrient dense road and focus on the foods you can eat, not on the foods you can't eat, and what lifestyle factors you can change to heal your body
    • (55:45) Heather: Looking for help on how to manage a severe case of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
      • Stacy notes that there is a time and a place for antibiotics, because sometimes food alone cannot solve problems
      • In this case, Stacy suggests probiotic foods to help with the re-balancing of her gut
      • Sarah suggests combining the antibiotics with a nutrient dense, gut friendly diet like what was outlined in question 1
      • There have been case reports of SIBO where doctors have combined two or three different kinds of antibiotics, or even pair with anti-fungals, to manage the bacteria
      • Here are other drugs that have shown effectiveness: rifaximin (brand name is Xifaxan), vancomycin, neomycin, tetracycline, metronidazole, levofloxacin and fluconazole
      • Clinical trials where they have combined antibiotic therapy with probiotics and/or prebiotics have shown even better outcomes
      • (Note, consult a doctor first) The common prebiotic typically used in these studies is VSL-3
      • (Note, consult a doctor first) There are also some good studies on treating with prescript assist, which is soil based organisms, but specifically with irritable bowel syndrome
      • (Note, consult a doctor first) There are also a variety of herbs that can be used as antimicrobials: monolaurin, cat’s claw, wormwood, goldenseal (caution: goldenseal stimulates immune system), pau d’arco, olive leaf extract, garlic, barberry, Oregon grape, oregano oil, extra virgin coconut oil, lactoferrin, DGL
      • A b-vitamin complex is a good idea
      • Digestive support supplements can also go a long way to help restore the gut
      • Turn to primaldocs.com and paleophysiciansnetwork.com
    • (1:08:51) Dana: When an infection is not active, should I still be treating it, beyond what I already do for leaky gut?
      • The standard treatment for h. pylori is the same as the base treatment for SIBO, including herbal supplements, under the supervision of a qualified professional
      • H. pylori is a gram negative bacteria that lives in the upper gastro track and is in 50% of the world's population, prominent in developing countries
      • 80% of cases are asystematic
      • When they are systematic people experience chronic inflammation of the stomach and small intestine, which causes a lot of misleading symptoms
      • H. pylori causes ulcers, and increases your risk of stomach cancer
      • If you get H. pylori early in life it can protect you from immune related conditions, if you get it later in life it can cause immune related conditions
      • One of the best treatments is a nutrient rich diet - the AIP is a great place to start
      • Talk to your doctor about whether or not you need to treat it and what your options and preferences are
    • Don't forget to check out the bonus show, leave reviews on iTunes, and we will be back next week!

Episode 38: Let’s Gather

May 9th, 2013 by thepaleoview

Our thirty-eighth show! Ep. 38: Let's Gather

In this episode, Stacy and Sarah invite Bill Staley and Hayley Mason of The Food Lover's Kitchen, authors of Make it Paleo and the recently released Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining, to discuss the release of their new book, tips for paleo baking, and food suggestions for non-paleo guests and colleagues.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 38: Let's Gather

  • 0:00 - Introduction
  • 1:19 - News & Views
    • And just so you know, ALL episodes can now be downloaded from iTunes!
    • Welcome Bill Staley and Hayley Mason of The Food Lover's Kitchen!
    • Stacy just returned from Pittsburgh, where her and Amy attended the launch party for Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining
    • The Gather launch party was held at Bar Marco, and the chef put together a gluten-free menu and desserts were brought from home - overall had a great turnout and lots of fun!
    • A public release party for Beyond Bacon will be held on July 5 - save the date, more information to come soon
    • Sarah and Stacy will be hosting bonus shows with the plan to post them once a month
      • These shows will be very personal and will be an expansion of 'News and Views' from The Paleo View
      • The first one will be a Mother's Day celebration, with Sarah and Stacy's moms as the featured guests
      • It will be available on Mother's Day and will be $0.99 - the small fee allows Sarah, Stacy and Matt to continue putting out awesome podcast material
    • Sarah plugged her beloved melatonin glasses
  • 13:50 - Science with Sarah: Oxytocin and health
    • Oxytocin is released when we connect with people, and it is known as the love hormone
    • It is released when you come into physical contact with others
    • When it is released it gives you feelings of contentment, calm, bonding, trust, reduces anxiety, inhibits fear
    • It is a hormone that also interacts with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which is responsible for triggering the fight or flight response
    • Oxytocin directly reduces stress hormones, so making time to be social and to connect with others can be a stress reducer
    • Research has also shown that stimulating the release of oxytocin directly impacts the immune system and an individual's ability to heal by reducing inflammation in the body
  • 20:00 - Q&A
    • Sarah asked her Facebook followers what question requests they had for Bill and Hayley, and the common theme was around paleo baking. So Sarah wants to know, what is your general approach when you have a recipe you want to adapt to paleo ingredients?
      • Stacy noted that Bill and Hayley's carrot cake and tiramisu are worth bookmarking
      • Hayley has found that almond flour can be used 1:1 for conventional flour
      • Coconut flour is different because of the density, it requires less flour and more eggs
      • The coffee cake from Gather is a recipe from Bill's family that was recreated to be enjoyed paleo style, and Hayley was able to sub out 1:1 for the flour by using almond flour
      • She also adds arrowroot flour to most of her recipes to lighten the density
      • Grass-fed heavy cream or coconut milk is also another great addition to cake recipes, which helps with both almond and coconut flour to moisten the batter
      • Hayley experimented with using arrowroot flour exclusively, but it turned out kind of gummy - wasn't the best, but it worked
      • Sarah has been toying around with arrowroot flour as well, and it hasn't been producing the results she wants
      • Stacy has found sweeteners to be a big area of discussion in the world of paleo baking, but feels like it comes down to selecting healthy sources of sugar and moderation - treat it like a treat
      • When baking, Stacy's family likes to find sugars with a better balance of sucrose to fructose, in particular prefers maple syrup, honey or dates
      • The conversion from white table sugar to more nutrient-dense sweeteners is not a 1:1 replacement, you have to play with it and see where the preferred flavor lands
      • Hayley stresses that you need to be aware of how different foods make you feel, enjoy treats, but be aware of what does or doesn't work for you and your health goals
      • Those who have implemented paleo in a successful way, are successful because they are able to find balance and incorporate indulgences in a way that doesn't derail the health progress they have made
      • Create habits with the foods that nourish you and make you thrive, let treats be occasional
      • Sarah notes that everyone needs to find their own individual balance when it comes to treats
      • Finding that balance is what makes paleo sustainable and more of a lifestyle
      • For many, gluten will never be an option, so playing in the kitchen is a way to re-create the occasional indulgence, but doesn't back track on the gut healing that has been achieved
    • (39:48) How do you cook for company when the people you are cooking for do not eat a paleo diet?
      • Sarah notes that we are challenged by the palates of those who do not eat a paleo diet and their expectations for flavor and what should be on a plate
      • Bill and Hayley do not serve guests any differently than themselves
      • The one exception is with food allergies or intolerances, in Gather there are some vegan options, and that is because you can adapt paleo recipes to be respectful of others allergies, intolerances and preferences
      • Hayley notes that they try to be respectful of guests preferences, but they will never serve a guest gluten
      • Thanks to the abundance of paleo recipe resources that are available today, you can recreate recipes for even the pickiest of eaters
      • Think outside of the box and think about what your guest(s) enjoy and find a way to recreate it
      • You have the opportunity to teach others how great food can taste when you focus on simple, healthy ingredients
      • Side bar discussion on social media platforms
    • (59:40) Nicole: Do you have suggestions on simple swaps I can make to standard snack foods?
      • Bill suggests SeaSnax to replace chips
      • For the non-paleo crowd, Bill suggests corn chips from Xochitl, which are organic and non-gmo, and are a good replacement for standard chips, but again a very occasional snack
      • In Stacy's previous job she was able to make a request for healthier snack options in the office and sure enough apples and bananas were the first snacks to go
      • Even making smaller transitions to reduce sugar can be a proactive step in the right direction, ex. Yoplait to Stonyfield
      • Other suggestions: dried fruit, nuts, banana chips, Honest chips (check here on the Paleo Parents site for additional snack ideas)
      • Hayley notes that she thinks Nicole is already making some great changes and is headed in the right direction
      • For the granola bars, Stacy recommends to check the ingredients because some are better than others, even if they aren't paleo
    • Lard frying love was shared, along with tips on best practices when frying
    • Bill and Hayley's second book, Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining is available - so go get your copy!
    • And if you don't have Make It Paleo, you also need to add that to your collection - throw in Beyond Bacon and The Paleo Approach as well!
    • Bill and Hayley's third cookbook, The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking, will also be out in June, which is different from the 30 Day Intro to Paleo and has new recipes
    • Find Bill and Hayley at primalpalate.com and don't forget to check out their app My Kitchen
    • REMINDER - check The Paleo Mom and The Paleo Parents websites on Sunday for the special Mother's Day show and please go post your reviews on the podcast!

Episode 37: Follow-Up Show

May 2nd, 2013 by thepaleoview

Our thirty-seventh show! Ep. 37: Follow Up Show

In this episode, Stacy and Sarah catch up on how book writing and editing is going, and circle back on questions and comments from previous episodes.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 37: Follow-Up Show

  • 0:00 - Introduction
  • 1:19 - News & Views
    • And just so you know, ALL episodes can now be downloaded from iTunes!
    • Shared love for treadmill desks
    • Discussed this article on treadmill desks that called it 'Junk Food Walking'
    • Sarah has seen physical improvements from her time on the treadmill desk
    • Beyond Bacon is going off to printer end of this working week, the Paleo Parents are in final edits mode
    • There are a lot of autoimmune protocol friendly recipes throughout the book
    • Sarah and Stacy catch up on completing a book and the grueling editing process
    • With the addition of the Paleo Parents assistant and the treadmill desk, Stacy is trying her best to manage her stress and take care of her health
    • Since both Sarah and Stacy are feeling kind of burnt out from book work, episode 37 is a follow up show to circle back on comments and questions from previous episodes
  • 23:47 - Science with Sarah: Eating omnivores, does it matter what they eat?
    • Pork and poultry are often supplemented with feed that sometimes includes corn, wheat, soy and other random seeds - could also be eating table scraps
    • Pasture raised beef does not need supplemental feed
    • With eggs, research shows that there can be intact proteins from the diet of the chickens that can get into the eggs, in particular has been shown with soy
    • There is no evidence that definitively shows this happening in muscle meat
    • If a healthy animal has a healthy gut all of the proteins from their diet are broken down for their gut barriers and are reconstructed for their muscle tissue
    • However, conventionally raised animals do not have healthy digestive systems, and proteins from their feed could leak into their bodies - there may be a concern with conventional meat, but it hasn't been proven
    • If you have a severe allergy to something that the animals were fed (provided that the animals were raised and butchered in a healthy, clean environment) there should be no trace proteins in the meat
    • Talk to your farmer when you are buying pastured animals to ask about their feed and farming practices, most farmers will be happy to share information
  • 30:58 - Q&A
    • Katy: Shares feedback on sensitive smoke detectors. (original question was in episode 30)
      • Katy found out from a fireman that a smoke alarm that goes off at high temperatures without any smoke is a sign of a cheap fire alarm, and ultimately smoke alarms shouldn't do that
    • (32:58) Angela: Are the ingredients in AdvoCare Spark really paleo approved? And what does 'natural flavor' mean anyway? (original question was in episode 30)
      • The AdvoCare Spark must have an active and inactive ingredients list on their site, and Sarah thinks she saw only one of those when answering the original question
      • The other ingredients not previously discussed can be wheat or corn derived and without knowing where they are from are not safe
      • Artificial flavors can mean a lot of different things, but usually means chemicals that are esters that provide flavor, but have been manufactured to create high quantities
      • Ask what value this beverage is adding to your diet and perhaps look to another source of caffeine that packs health benefits
    • (38:41) Lisa: Two tips, Wilderness Naturals makes an expeller pressed coconut oil that does not taste or smell like coconut. And two, kombucha doesn't need black tea only, it can be brewed from green or white as well. (original question was in episode 30)
      • Stacy has given up on brewing her own kombucha and is a big fan of Reeds Kombucha, which is jasmine tea based
      • Sarah brews her own kombucha
    • (41:15) Theresa: Tip regarding coconut oil, do not put coconut oil on the skin immediately after a burn as it can trap the heat and burn the skin worse - cool water and ice are always the best immediate responses to burns
    • Sarah and Stacy share stories of clumsiness and forgetfulness
  • 48:28 - BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has submitted reviews, The Paleo View hit number six on the podcast ratings for all health shows and it shows how impactful those reviews are! Please keep them coming!

Episode 36: Body Image

Apr 25th, 2013 by thepaleoview

Our thirty-sixth show! Ep. 36: Body Image

In this episode, Stacy and Sarah invite George of Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations, Stefani Ruper of Paleo for Women, and Tara of Primal Girl to reflect on their experiences with body transformations. Learn about body dysmorphic disorder, teaching your kids about health choices as opposed to diets, and how to look beyond the excess skin that comes with dramatic weight loss.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 36: Body Image

  • 0:00 - Introduction
  • 1:19 - News & Views
    • Planning to expand upon the Body Transformations panel from Paleo FX to further discuss body image, ideals, transformations in mental health, emotional eating, physical changes
    • George's background
      • Active duty marine for 12 years, just ended due to some injuries
      • Spent 12 months in a wheelchair and 18 months in physical therapy, ballooning him to 257 pounds
      • Dealt with bulimia, fad diets, triathlons, carb rotations, carb loading and binge eating
      • When deployed to Afghanistan two years ago, found paleo and began his journey
      • Has helped him overcome all of his body image issues and develop a healthy relationship with food
    • Stefani's background
      • Was orthorexic and a disordered eater
      • Through her site she deals with issues on both psychological and physiological wellness
      • Lost weight in unhealthy ways following conventional wisdom, and didn't start eating a paleo diet until about a year ago when she adapted eating paleo for nourishment/health and not weight-loss
    • Sarah's history with body image
      • Began struggles with weight in early teen years, by late teens was 265 pounds
      • Found low-carb eating and marathons in her early 20's and lost 100 pounds, but was not happy or healthy
      • Had health crisis in 2002 and was apartment bound for three months
      • Was battling binging, depression and anxiety, and that is when her autoimmune diseases started
      • Wasn't until her first daughter was one that she was able to lose weight again through low-carb
      • Found paleo when her youngest was two
      • Have always had image issues
      • Has now been at a stable weight for a year and a half and gained a healthy understanding for food, but the body image issues are still present
    • Stacy's reflection on body transformations
      • Body dysmorphic disorder, which is very common, is when someone who has gone through a drastic physical transformation is mentally unable to catch up with what has changed visually - you essentially see your old self, or what still needs to be done
      • If you can't see your own reflection, how can you appreciate all that you have done and who you are
    • The shape of our self-love changes over time, and the core of your self-love should be in acceptance and forgiveness
    • Our self-love doesn't correlate with weight-loss, and we need to love our self independent from our looks
    • The first time George got a six-pack he was a person he didn't want to be with an entitled attitude
    • Eventually learned that the six-pack doesn't define him, doesn't make him any better than the guy who doesn't have one, or any worse than the guy who has a better one
    • Stefani's experience with coming into a better body and developing a superiority complex made her relationship with food just as difficult as it had been in the past
    • Giving herself to higher things and dislodging the emphasis that society places on looks alone has moved her in a powerful direction
    • For the entirety of Stacy's life people had treated her badly, and she didn't know that she was being treated that way until people treated her differently for being lower in weight
    • When Stacy realized that people were treating her differently it was a depressing situation that made her feel used and abused
    • When Sarah lost weight she felt like she had to make up for all the years that she was at a heavier weight
    • Sarah had so many experiences where she felt like she didn't belong, and now has feelings of resentment towards all the things that she missed out on during a time in life when one should be carefree
    • Surprise Guest Appearance! Tara from Primal Girl has much to add to the body transformations talk
      • When Tara was eight years old she was called a cow by other kids and developed a poor body image from that point
      • In high school was at a health weight, but still thought she was huge
      • Her weight became a self-fulfilling prophecy as she got older, but after she lost that weight she had a hard time reconciling the way she looked with the way she felt
    • Sarah had a similar experience and thought that she was fat years before that belief influenced her choices and became a reality
    • Tara's fourth grade gym teacher told her she was overweight and that feedback made her believe she was out of shape, and that belief shaped who she was and who she became
    • Official introductions between Tara, George and Stefani
  • 42:48 - Science with Sarah: What is body dysmorphic disorder? And, can paleo help?
    • Body dysmorphic disorder is an unhealthy obsession with a flaw that is either imagined or exaggerated
    • The obsession is so extreme that it is considered part of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder spectrum because it goes along with obsessive or repetitive behaviors
    • Symptoms can include checking your reflection often, or the complete avoidance of mirrors, not wanting self photos displayed, attempting to camouflage your perceived flaws, excessive dieting, excessive exercise
    • It is highly related to major depressive disorder and occurs frequently with depression and social anxiety
    • Body dysmorphic disorder has a spectrum of severity, with approximately 1-2% of people dealing with this disorder
    • Because it is a depressive disorder it has been highly linked to serotonin
    • SSRIs are used to treat depressive disorders
    • Serotonin is made in the body from tryptophan
    • To support natural serotonin production one needs to increase tryptophan in the brain
    • Eating a paleo type diet is a great start to increasing tryptophan, and the number one tryptophan rich food is sea lion kidney
    • Game animal muscle meat, organ meats, seafood, seaweed, and leafy greens to a lesser extent are all also good sources
    • One of the key things that people can do to improve their brain health is follow a paleo diet, eat organ meat and seafood
    • There is a strategy to eat tryptophan rich vegetables on their own without competing amino acids to increases your absorption of the tryptophan, but long-term research is showing that it might not be as effective as eating organ meat or seafood
    • Studies show that eating a carbohydrate rich meal four hours before you go to bed dramatically improves sleep quality
  • 59:55 - Q&A
    • Meredith: How does the 21-Day Sugar Detox look to children? Do you think it teaches them that food is bad, rather than real food is good?
      • Stacy's children have done the 21DSD and have learned that it is all in the way that you present healthy choices
      • The kids were not limited to fruit in anyway, and if the kids asked for something that wasn't on the list of approved items the kids were asked if it was a healthy choice or not
