You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener Question: Dear Stacy and Dr. Sarah, I am a long time fan of your amazing podcast and both of your blogs, and took the AIP lecture series a couple years ago and learned so much. I have listened to the whole series at least three times, and your voices have become like part of my brain now :) I feel so much attachment to both of you, and can’t tell you how much I appreciate the contributions you’ve made to my life.  My problem is sugar. I follow a maintenance AIP and my meals are great — ALL the veggies and seafood and healthy starchy veggies and working on organ meats! — but I have this one kind of ridiculous habit that I haven’t shak

Food as Medicine: the healing power of food and how a scientific mindset allowed Stacy and Sarah to ditch diet culture in this week's episode of The Whole View, 466. We recap our health journeys and how reframing health allowed us to embrace science-backed metrics of health, such as nutrient sufficiency, for living well - inside and out. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener question: Hey Sarah and Stacy! Long time listener here, love all your recent shows on the covid-19 vaccine. It really helped me feel confident in my decision to go get vaccinated. I happened to get the Pfizer! But, the real reason I'm writing you today is to get your help, not for me, but for my mom.  She doesn't have any diagnosed health conditions, but always complains about headaches, feeling tired, having stiff joints that make things like gardening harder, and she's always trying to lose those thirty pounds. I've been trying to get her to make some diet chang

This week, Sarah and Stacy dive into the science behind too many food restrictions and the importance of maintaining food variety and nutrient sufficiency. They share several strategies they’ve discovered on their own and offer recommendations to help you get the most out of your health journey. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener question: I'm very grateful to have found your book "The Paleo Approach" at my local library. I have since purchased copies of it and the cookbook for myself and family members because of the vital information in it. My question is: Having lupus and hypothyroidism causes me to steer clear of various foods and herbs, (nightshades and echinacea) and being gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free I am staying away from other groups of foods and dishes.  How can I reach optimal health benefits and nutrients having to avoid so many things that are supposedly "good for you"? - Sandy   Don’t forget to subscribe to thi

This week, Sarah and Stacy dive into the science of PFAS and forever chemicals, why they are so problematic, and what we can do to limit our exposure and make a change. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Instead of a listener question this week, Dr. Sarah and Stacy tackle a trending topic in health-conscious communities. Science has shown, pretty unequivocally, how harmful these chemicals are for decades. It's not recent science. And what we see in modern days is regulatory agencies not being able to keep up with capitalism demands. This topic is difficult to see in something other than a "conspiracy" lens. But that is why it's important to Stacy and Sarah now, more than ever, to make sure they stick to scientific research as much as possible. There are specific areas known to have high levels of PFAS. If you know you're in one of those areas, it's possible to test your blood for your exposure levels. Stacy reminds the audience that she and

This week, Sarah and Stacy examine the science behind Candida cleanses and shed light on some of the misinformation and claims we see online. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener question: I got diagnosed of candida, and my integrative doctor said to cut out honey or maple syrup for two months, knowing those are what I typically would use as a sweetener. When I look up the candida cleanse diet online, apparently fruits high in sugar and caffeinated drinks would be off the table also-not that my doctor recommended me to though. I know Dr. Sarah would say that our body needs the nutrients in fruits too for various reasons, and blackstrap molasses are a superfood. I am aware that even for healthy individuals, sweetener should only be consumed in moderation. However, for a Sjögren’s syndrome warrior now also diagnosed with candida, should I cut out maple, honey, molasses and fruits high in sugar even in moderation? Is AIP okay with candi

This week, Sarah and Stacy revisit previous episodes on ADHD and update the science behind natural approaches and medication. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here: https://www.thepaleomom.com/podcast-adhd-natural-approaches-and-medication/ No listener question this week, rather an important update to episodes #145 and #185 Science is an evolutionary process, and things change as we learn and grow. Stacy and Sarah have years of content they want to bring to the forefront as relevant and update any information that might have since changed. Stacy’s son Cole has inactive ADHD (previously called ADD), an attention deficit without the hyperactive traits associated with ADHD. Because of the differences, Stacy’s family manages Cole’s ADHD is very different from how they manage her youngest’s, Westley’s, who has hyperactive traits. Medication is not a failure. However, at the beginning of Stacy’s journey, she operated under the mindset that not medica

This week, Sarah and Stacy revisit the topic of oats and why it’s important to look at foods individually to see how they can fit into a better overall diet. They dive into the science of why oats are often grouped in with wheat and grains as foods to avoid. Lastly, they encourage listeners to gain the confidence needed to experiment with different foods to find what works best for them as individuals.   You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener Question: First off, I ADORE you both. I feel like you are my best friends and just don't know it yet :) I want to eat raw heads of lettuce (I've done this for years!) and get angry about poorly conducted research with Sarah, and go lift heavy weights while discussing clean beauty with Stacy. I can't get enough of you guys! So, my question is related to oats. Because my diet has been restrictive for so long while I've tried to heal my digestive system after being diagnosed with celiac three years

This week, Sarah and Stacy look at the science behind antibiotics’ impact on the gut microbiome and what we can do to break the Stress-Flare-Antibiotic Cycle as much as possible. Stacy gives insight into actions you can take outside the body, while Sarah dives deep into foods and lifestyle habits that can help from within. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener question: First off, my mother and I love your show and have been listening to the show for years. I love how you can tackle complicated topics and boil them down to easy to understand and enjoyable shows. Stacy, your journey with your son through ADHD was such a help for me when my oldest son was diagnosed. It gave me a place to go when I wasn't sure where to go next. Now to the reason I'm writing to you. I have been battling rosacea flares ever since 2010 when I had my first son. Pregnancy seemed to set everything off and I now deal with flares off and on. I know stress is a t

This week, Sarah and Stacy look at the collective trauma and how it relates to re-entry anxiety after the Covid-19 pandemic. They look at trauma, PTSD, and mental health as a whole and discuss what you can do to reduce symptoms and re-adjust to a more “normal” daily life. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Instead of a listener question this week, Dr. Sarah and Stacy tackle a trending topic in health-conscious communities. With the decline of covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, many places around the United States are starting to open again. Stacy has realized this last year was trauma, as much as that might sound like an exaggeration. Trauma is very individual, but we’ve all experienced a collective trauma as a group, and now we’re recovering it as we’re re-entering into the new world. This resonates especially with Stacy due to her experience with the effects of trauma with her foster kids. Don’t forget to subscribe to this chan

You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. It's foster care awareness month, and this topic is something very important to Stacy. She hopes that in talking about foster care, she can dispel some of the system's myths and miseducation. And let listeners know how they might be able to get involved even without becoming an official foster parent. Stacy wants listeners to understand that neither foster nor biological parents with children in foster care don't need to be demonized or stereotyped negatively. The goal of foster care is always reunification first, meaning the idea of having the child return to their biological family. Stac

This week, Stacy and Sarah look back at an old show and dive into the updated science behind eating breakfast at 8:30am.  You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Stacy reminds listeners that science is an evolutionary process and, like life, things are constantly changing and growing. The Whole View has years of shows that may contain outdated science. Both Stacy and Sarah feel it's important to bring some of these episodes back to the forefront and re-examine how science has changed. So in honor of revisiting some of our favorite shows with the updated science, Sarah decided to start with re-examining the science behind eating (or not eating) breakfast before 8:30am.

This week, Stacy and Sarah look back at soaking or activating nuts and reflect on how data has impacted previous science.  You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Facts are facts; science is science, and no matter how we felt about it before might change if we are open to hearing new information. Sarah adds that there was science available in previous shows that allowed us to infer some of these things. As more data has become available in the past year, we see that it's actually not the case. Episode 188, Paleo-Friendly Bread:  Episode 413: The Gut Health Benefits of Nuts Stacy reminds listeners that this isn't a one-size-fits-all concept. To make sure the science on this show, which is specific to soaking or activating nuts, isn't extrapolated into different areas. Listener question: I'm interested in getting nuts and seeds back into my diet but am wary due to my autoimmunity. I've read all the articles I can find on the subject on your w
