She is happy to be home, is back on her treadmill desk, and is also fighting a cold Stacy is feeling great and is loving the awesome energy her boys have been sharing lately Stacy went up to Pittsburgh this last weekend with Amy for Hayley's bridal shower and it was incredibly classy - all the food was from her recipe books, which was such a loving thing to do The hosts of the party also created a newlywed game with per-recorded answers from Bill, which was very sweet and a cool twist on traditional bridal shower games Stacy also got to work out in Pork Belly Fitness, which is Bill and Hayley's garage gym Sarah wants to know from Stacy, her pork expert, if she can use a salt and sugar cure to make bacon or does she have to smoke it? Stacy notes that without smoking the belly it won't taste like bacon, but Sarah could easily make a smoker following the instructions on how to make a homemade smoker from Beyond Bacon Stacy recommends that if Sarah doesn't want to make the smoker she should use the Cracklin' Pork Belly recipe from Beyond Bacon - Stacy wouldn't cure it if she isn't going to smoke it, she would braise it Mickey from Autoimmune Paleo has a video on how to make the smoker from Beyond Bacon In this week's show Stacy and Sarah are going to answer some questions that are representative of a general topic and questions they get frequently - if they don't specifically address your question, please don't let your feelings be hurt, there are a lot of questions that come in Stacy and Sarah polled the Paleo Parents Facebook page to see what folks most wanted to discuss this week, and the common theme was people wanting to hear about preparing for schools, handling the holidays, and dealing with difficult times - a practical show filled with a lot of tips Next week will be the 'Best Of', 1 year anniversary show School lunches was the first topic of The Paleo View, so it is fitting to circle back on the subject a year later Sarah's oldest daughter started school the Wednesday before the podcast went live and Sarah had the meet-up with the teacher to outline her daughter's dietary requirements Last year Sarah felt like she was making up the system as she went along, but this year she feels like she has the system down for how to approach the whole 'this is how my daughter eats' discussion When Stacy was on The Science of Slim recently she chatted with Jonathan Bailor about the importance of empowering your children, and the same principles from that discussion apply on how to prepare your kids for making their own choices while at school, parties, etc. Stacy reminds folks that this process takes time, just like it does for adults, your kid has to learn how to adapt their life in their own time Sarah notes that it has been a long road to reach the point where a Larabar serves as a "treat" for her kids, they took it in baby steps and stayed persistent 19:16 - Science with Sarah In this week's show Sarah wants to revisit one of the basic principles of the paleo diet to discuss saponins Saponins are a chemical that have detergent like properties, meaning they can naturally make oil and water mix They are naturally found in all plants, and this is where you hear folks say we shouldn't eat xyz because they contain saponins Just like lectins are a broad class of proteins, the same is true with saponins - some are perfectly safe to consume and some can be problematic and trigger gut problems Some saponins may be necessary to aid in our digestion and absorption of nutrition from our food These "good"

Sarah informed her daughter's teacher when she started kindergarten that her daughter can't tolerate gluten, and left it that cut and dry Sarah didn't provide a doctor's note, however, it is noted in her daughter's medical files why she cannot tolerate gluten Cole went to a subsidized daycare before Matt made the switch to a SAHD, and Matt and Stacy learned that they could request to opt out of the subsidized program and to pay the difference Stacy notes that you can also seek a doctor's note as Sarah mentioned, but it is very common for parents to avoid wheat and dairy these days so it shouldn't be too difficult to share your observations with your doctor to obtain a note (35:24) Becca - how do I feed a brood of boys without taking up permanent residency in my kitchen? How do I help my sons deal with the social stigma they perceive from their diet? Stacy notes that this is a normal thing parents deal with when there are multiple boys in the house, despite whatever one's dietary style is What Stacy and Matt have done is instructed the boys to always partner a protein with their snacks and meals, once a week they make hard-boiled eggs and they have them eat an egg when grabbing fruit or other kind of snack Matt and Stacy also get a lot of cured and "processed" meat from high quality sources like USWM - hot dogs, meat sticks, Paleo Kits, Primal Pacs, Epic Bar They empower the boys that when choosing something with meat/protein that they don't need to ask for permission, if it is something other than protein they need to ask Matt and Stacy's boys have been taught how to make their own protein snacks Coconut milk smoothies are also very helpful with hungry kids - you can throw in egg yolks for protein, freeze bananas and add those, add in nut butter or cocoa powder - and this is something they can do on their own You may need to also look into more satiating meals - if the kids are constantly asking for snacks they are either bored and that needs to be dealt with, or the meals aren't keeping them satisfied or they may need bigger portions at meals Sarah adds that sardines are a great snack option as well Sarah doesn't run into this issue often, however, her girls don't often eat enough at supper time because they eat until they are no longer starving and then want to go do other things, so they get hungrier sooner Sarah has the same rule as Matt and Stacy that snacks require protein Nuts aren't a terrible option, but perhaps find more affordable options like cashews Here are some options for "cheats" to help bridge your children to paleo - do not worry about ketchup - find an option without HFCS, also don't stress over mayo - find some options that use sunflower oil (not the best, but you have to find the compromises you are willing to make) Stacy notes that you have to get your kids on board before offering broth or homemade ketchup and mayo - try to make them "normal" looking lunches with deli meat, sandwiches on paleo bread or coconut wraps (there are various brands of bread you can chose from, or make your own - or check for gluten-free bakeries in the area) Stacy suggests taking your kids shopping to see what they prefer to eat - children love picking out their own things, it makes them feel in control Things like sweet potato chips or coconut milk yogurts are good gray area foods to include from time to time to help their lunches feel "normal" Sarah had her oldest daughter sit down and make a list of her preferred vegetables, fruits, fats, proteins, and treats and identified the things that are easy to pack - they kept the list on the fridge and it helped Sarah be mindful of what her daughter prefers Sarah notes that it was key to have that discussion to see what her daughter prefers and to talk about healthy choices When Sarah and her daughter had this talk again in preparation for this year's school year, she noticed how drastically the list grew Sarah noted that having that dialogue changed the dynamic, it was her daughter making decisions for herself Stacy notes that when in doubt, pack bacon 1:03:33 - Paleo Parenting Orquidea - What is the best way to introduce kids to the paleo diet? Stacy points out that her kids knew their lifestyle as gluten-free/dairy-free, eat like a dinosaur, healthy choices, no processed foods, vegetables and meat Stacy notes that coining it as the paleo diet labels it as a diet and her kids are not on a diet When you are first introducing the new path, do it in a way that helps them understand that this lifestyle is to help them grow and be strong In Eat Like a Dinosaur there is also a section on how to talk about this with your kids Create some mimic foods to help your family during the transition - paleo-ized goods (granola, cookies, bars, etc.) Note that you are trying it as a family and set a time frame to it to test it and see how everyone feels at the end Allow yourself some time to wean off of the foods from your current diet There are lots of paleo cookbooks and bloggers that offer transition recipes You want the lifestyle to be something that tastes good, doesn't make them feel deprived, something that helps their bodies heal, grow and be strong, but sets them up for success socially and emotionally Sarah reminds folks that her family transitioned very slowly, her husband in particular struggled with the adjustment Sarah didn't worry about the foods that they ate during the transition because she knew it was still an improvement from where they had been Sarah's family doesn't call it a paleo diet, they refer to it as gluten-free and simply know that they don't eat dairy - with her youngest daughter they phrase it as avoiding foods that hurt her stomach Sarah's family never approached it as a challenge, they just started doing it and they did it all in baby steps Talk with your kids about why, think about them while you are cooking to prepare the things they like and to help them not feel deprived When you are transitioning it can be a comfort to know that food can still taste good and you can still have treats - showing kids that food will still taste good is one of the most important things to get them on board Stacy allowed Cole to occasionally buy lunch at school and they looked at the calendar and planned ahead to the meals that he preferred, they went from two days a week to eventually one and he eventually made the connection that those "cheats" didn't make him feel good and through his own choosing he decided to give up buying a lunch at school FYI, if you really miss Chinese food, look at the recipes in Gather, Beyond Bacon, and Paleo Indulgences, you can also try finding a Thai restaurant that has soy and wheat free options Sarah received a request from a reader to share instructions on how to leave a review on iTunes Download the podcast app onto your smartphone or tablet Subscribe to the show, which gives you instant access when a new show is downloaded Under 'My Podcasts' go into settings, turn your subscription on Go back to the iTunes store, pull up The Paleo View tab - there you will find a review tab It is easier to review directly through iTunes on the computer Email Sarah or Stacy through their contact forms if you are running into a specific problem and they will help If you loved this show's theme, go back and listen to the first show since the topic was in the same category 1:14 - Outro

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 50: Paleo Philosophy - Part 3 0:00 - Introduction 1:19 - News Views Stacy and Matt just got back from a trip and the kids are a little wild Sarah's kids have also been having some foods on their trip that are out of the norm and are acting a little wild because of it It has been a little bit difficult for Sarah to find food that is 100% contamination free while eating out on vacation This week's show is scheduled to be part three of the paleo philosophy discussion Sarah found last week's discussion to be cathartic and the feedback on part-two was awesome Stacy and Matt had a book signing in Virginia Beach and thank everyone who made it out - it was great to meet so many new folks! Stacy and Matt also got to meet kids who have been positively impacted by Eat Like a Dinosaur, which is always so amazing Stacy also spent time with her Mom at the beach and they all had a great weekend, but it was tiring and there was a bit too much car time This last week Stacy hit her training goal and trained 8 days in a row Matt and Stacy will be out of town just about every weekend in August, so Stacy feels like she has to fit in a lot of training in a compact amount of time Work has also been crazy for Stacy - if she were an accountant, this would be her tax season Every day that Matt and Stacy are in town, she wants to be training Stacy is staying squeaky clean right now, which to her means no sugar, with the exception of fruit, no grains, no legumes, and sticking to dairy fat only from the dairy family Stacy has lost a couple of pounds staying committed to her goals, and more importantly has seen amazing improvements at the gym - she is feeling great Stacy has also signed up for a women's only Strongman competition held by her gym, and it will be on December 14 Sarah is starting to get food cravings and is feeling unhealthy from the stress of editing The Paleo Approach Sarah is handling a large chunk of the illustrations for her book, which is a lot to do on top of editing - however, this way she knows that the illustrations are at the quality level she expects Sarah does really enjoy editing and illustrating, but she feels envious of all the fun things her family is doing Sarah is trying her best to keep a positive attitude and to manage her stress, but it has been difficult Stacy learned at the book signing that people still think that paleo is a meat only diet Sarah eats a ton of vegetables, and the more she eats the better she feels and the better regulated her hormones are There are those that think that paleo is a low-carb diet, some people think it is no fruit - there are just a lot of misconceptions about what the norm is for people Stacy notes that it is easy for people to get confused about the different adjustments within the paleo eating style and why individuals make those adjustments Sarah notes she has a post on the autoimmune protocol and why goitrogenic vegetables are perfectly safe For Stacy she learned that she has to make sure her vegetables are cooked properly and she is fine 24:51 - Paleo Philosophy Part-3 (38:53) Vegetables Studies have shown that there is no negative impact on a low-carb, high-protein diet There is a real link between meat consumption and cancer There have been some studies that show that high levels of meat consumption, processed in particular, correlates with an increased risk of cancer The important piece of information is that the link is only present when people don't eat green vegetables Research has found that chlorophyll, found in the green plants, stops your body from creating a carcinogenic pr

there are just a lot of misconceptions about what the norm is for people Stacy notes that it is easy for people to get confused about the different adjustments within the paleo eating style and why individuals make those adjustments Sarah notes she has a post on the autoimmune protocol and why goitrogenic vegetables are perfectly safe For Stacy she learned that she has to make sure her vegetables are cooked properly and she is fine 24:51 - Paleo Philosophy Part-3 (38:53) Vegetables Studies have shown that there is no negative impact on a low-carb, high-protein diet There is a real link between meat consumption and cancer There have been some studies that show that high levels of meat consumption, processed in particular, correlates with an increased risk of cancer The important piece of information is that the link is only present when people don't eat green vegetables Research has found that chlorophyll, found in the green plants, stops your body from creating a carcinogenic product during digestion If you are eating vegetables, there is no increased risk of cancer from consuming protein While meat is a nutrient dense foods, it would be very hard to get all the vitamins and minerals we need without vegetables present No one knows if there is such a thing as a perfect ratio of vegetables and protein, we just know you need both Listen to your body and do what feels best (46:07) Nutrient Density Stacy feels frustrated that she didn't figure out nutrient density in the beginning, but is grateful she eventually did to fully optimize her health Stacy was able to find success with weight loss in the beginning, but didn't figure out the nutrient piece until much later For more information on this detail be sure to check our the Calton's site and many awesome resources It was night and day for Stacy when she started absorbing nutrients properly When Stacy thinks of nutrient density she thinks of health and nourishing her body - what are the foods that fuel you best, what gives you the most bang for your buck Examples of nutrient dense foods are sardines, organ meat, bone broth, heavy cream, pastured yolks, fish, seafood Ever since Stacy took bone broth and organ meat seriously, she has seen and felt incredible results Stacy finds ways to enjoy these nutrient dense foods so they don't feel like a burden (i.e. chicken liver mouse with apples) Sarah didn't care for organ meat in the beginning, but her taste buds have changed so much that 80% of the time she prefers it over muscle meat Stacy believes that kids are drawn to nutrient dense food, and if exposed to both organ meat and muscle meat will have the palate for both Sarah notes that when we talk about nutrient density, we typically talk about micronutrients and sometimes fat quality Sarah looks for the level of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants available when determining nutrient density Sarah shared information on the ways in which we get certain essential nutrients Mat Lalonde is working on a nutrient density guide Next week there will be a standard question and answer show, and then the week after that will be the 'Best Of' show featuring highlights from the last year - let us know if you have favorites! 1:14 - Outro

Our forty-seventh show! Ep. 49: Paleo Philosophy - Part 2 In this episode, Stacy and Sarah tackle part-two of the Paleo Philosophy series, discussing Sally Fallon's article and the controversial areas within the paleo diet: fat, dairy and sugar. To listen to part-one of the series, check out episode 48. The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 49: Paleo Philosophy - Part 2 0:00 - Introduction 1:19 - News Views Canada has been good for Sarah, but she doesn't feel like she has been enjoying it much - her relatives are playing with the kids while she works on editing Sarah feels like she is missing out, but she knows that the book has to go to print Sarah's girls are spending great time with their relatives that they haven't seen in awhile, so it is good In the midst of editing, Sarah wrote a rebuttal to an article that appeared in Wise Traditions, Weston A. Price Foundation newsletter, where there was a lot of misinformation and criticism on parents who are raising their kids paleo There were several bloggers talking behind the scenes when the newsletter went live because many folks felt personally insulted Diane from Balanced Bites dedicated a podcast in response to this newsletter as well There are so many similarities between the paleo and Weston A. Price community, so it was very disappointing to see the Weston A. Price Foundation strike a divide between the communities and to attack and put many myths forward It is overall uncool to be divisive like that, it doesn't help the community or foster growth at all When you are a guiding voice within a community you have a responsibility to be a mature voice, to do your research fully and to present factual information Every leader in the paleo community has there own way that they put forth information on how to create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, and at the core of all these messages is 'figure out what works for you - strike your own balance' Stacy points out that through education her kid's are able to define what their own splurges are and how to develop their personal balance so they are able to enjoy life in a way that still supports their health If the argument is that paleo kids are so deprived, what part of a Weston A. Price Foundation diet isn't also depriving these children - if you have to sprout your grains, eat only raw dairy, where are you finding that in schools? For Stacy the article was infuriating and upsetting because an article like this doesn't help anyone, it only stimulates misconceptions Sarah notes that since there are so many similarities between Weston A. Price and paleo, you think that we could combine our resources to educate instead of trying to show some level of superiority - you could reach so many more people if we were to work together with a focus on nutrient density The Weston A. Price Foundation seems to be determined to separate out from the paleo movement, and it isn't clear why any organization would want to go against something that is supporting the same key principles Sarah finds it infuriating that her mission to raise her children in a healthy way, where they don't feel like they are different or missing out on something, makes her a bad parent - being told that Sarah is in the wrong for feeding her daughters in a way that supports their health was like a punch in the stomach Stacy points out that this is not the first time that the paleo community has experienced this attitude from the Weston A. Price Foundation, however, this has been the most blatant attack that they have ever distributed While Amy Kubal was promised for this week's show, we need to wait for the Ancestral Health Symposium to come to a wrap and will feature Amy at that time This week, Sarah and Stacy will be moving right into part-two of the Paleo Philosophy discussion, as last week's show received such a great response 24:51 - Paleo Philosophy Part-2 If you haven't listened to episode 48 yet, go back and

Price's criticism was that we don't eat fat, we only eat lean meats and low omega-6 plant fats, like coconut oil or olive oil Stacy wrote a book about lard, so Stacy's feelings towards fat are pretty clear Even for someone without a gallbladder, like Stacy's situation, consuming monounsaturated fats is easier on the body than if it was a polyunsaturated fat - Stacy finds it easier to digest the fats that are saturated and monounsaturated because her body doesn't have to work as hard to break them down Sarah provided a scientific overview on the difference between the three kinds of fats and how they impact your body Stacy went from being a coconut oil, broccoli and chicken paleo person to a lard/tallow paleo person, which is when she got into nutrient density because she learned that she wasn't properly absorbing food When Diana Rodgers was on the show Stacy learned a ton about how she should be supplementing and eating to absorb nutrients Not only is the paleo community interested in eating the fats of healthy animals, the paleo community encourages people to find what works for them to make them feel their best Sarah feels that there are more folks who do low-carb and high-fat, as opposed to a low-fat approach Sarah notes that there is still so much misinformation about the impact of fat on our health - people are still really scared of eating fat When Sarah was doing the research for The Paleo Approach, she found that the most important micronutrients that people are deficient in that are strongly linked to autoimmune diseases are fat-soluble vitamins, and that comes from us not eating enough fat and from eating the wrong kinds of fats If anyone listening to The Paleo View is afraid to eat fat, don't be - go eat some lard (39:20) Dairy On the autoimmune show with Mickey Stacy mentioned that she had reincorporated dairy fat successfully, which is really exciting since Stacy has had an issue with dairy her entire life By healing her body through the autoimmune protocol and a nutrient dense approach to eating, Stacy has been able to successfully introduce dairy into her diet While Stacy still believes that it is somewhat unnatural to eat the breastmilk of other animals, she has also read Practical Paleo and researched Weston A Price and knows how nutrient dense grass-fed dairy is, and if Stacy is able to tolerate dairy it can be a nutrient dense food for her When Stacy started incorporating grass-fed butter and grass-fed heavy cream she saw improvements in her skin and joints and other things that use to experience negative effects from dairy For Stacy her paleo philosophy on dairy has evolved a great deal since she started paleo, but she doesn't think her family will ever be consuming high quantities of dairy since her kids are extremely sensitive to it The Paleo Parents family walks a fine line to enjoy high-quality dairy products because it is a nutrient dense food, but they will not incorporate it at the sacrifice and health of their family Stacy is at a new phase in her paleo journey when it comes to dairy and will continue to enjoy it in moderation since her body is tolerating it Sarah notes that there is some research that suggests there are benefits to being cautious with dairy protein, however, dairy fat from grass-fed animals is a healthful fat that has an overwhelming nutrient value Raw, whole milk from grass-fed cows has some great stuff in it, and science doesn't stand firm on one side versus the other This is why you see variation in how people approach this, people who identify as primal or lacto-paleo incorporate dairy into their lives in a way that works for them Some people do really well with dairy, some people do really well without dairy - it is far more important to find what is working for you as an individual As a paleo community we sometimes get really focused on the no-rules that we forget that some of these foods are potentially nutrient dense foods depending on your tolerances As the paleo diet evolves and we learn more about how food effects our body, genes, proteins our body makes, etc. we are going to be able to narrow down what foods are beneficial and if that applies to some people, all people, etc. Again, there is no right answer for the role that dairy plays in our diet, it is about finding what works for you Beginning your paleo journey dairy free can be beneficial so you can do some elimination dieting to see if you tolerate it upon reintroduction (52:30) Fruit & Sugar For Stacy she avoids refined sugar, her kids have incredibly negative reactions to it The Paleo Parents still enjoy treats, as them being defined just as that, treats No matter what sugar you are talking about, Stacy would never define it as "paleo" For blogging purposes treats are labeled as "paleo" so that folks can easily Google alternatives to refined sugar treats Sarah's family doesn't eat much of the treats she prepares for recipe development, they either give them away or freeze them - they find a way to practice treating treats as just that, and practicing control and moderation People get very passionate that we should eat exactly as a caveman ate, but that isn't possible in today's world - food simply isn't the same as it was then Sarah doesn't think it is a healthy approach to food, to restrict foods that are very healthful foods just because they look like something unhealthy To Stacy when we start to say no to things in absolute terms that are made with wholesome ingredients, we are getting into the topic of orthorexia, disordered eating, etc. - there is nothing wrong with eating coconut flour egg yolk crepes or something with a base of cauliflower with meat and vegetables on top Define your paleo how you want to define your paleo, but don't judge somebody else for what they chose to do, don't tell them what they should or shouldn't do We will discuss sugar in greater detail in part-three, but the content will be broken up my other podcast topics If you have specific topics that you would like us to cover in this series please send topics to the podcast question box And if you are enjoying the show, please don't forget to leave a review on iTunes! 1:06:38 -

Price, primal, or perfect health, it is about taking all the fundamentals from those different geniuses that came up with them and finding out what works for her and her family Stacy eats more root vegetables on days when she works out, if she is having a high fat food she know she needs carbohydrates to balance it out - that is what works for her Stacy points out that every paleo blogger out there is sick of answering the question, 'is it paleo' There is very little that is actually "paleo", look at what is part of a healthy balanced life instead as opposed to how something falls into a definition set by others Define what healthy living means to you There are certain foods that are never touch foods for Matt and Stacy's family, and there are other things that they flex their day-to-day habits for, and they do what they need to do to both maintain a healthy life, but make this a lifelong endeavor at the same time One of the things that Sarah finds most frustrating is when people shut others down and impose their paleo philosophy on others - i.e. that is fruit, it isn't paleo When Sarah sees really judgmental comments that reflect an idea on carbohydrates and not a consensus it is irksome Stacy challenges everyone to consider when they use the word 'shouldn't' because it is not up to others to monitor and decide other people's decisions - the bottom line is you don't know what others need and why When you place judgement on others, which is what you are doing when you use the word should or shouldn't, you are participating in behavior that is negative and a downward spiral, which only leads to personal problems and negativity The negative behaviors perpetuate the misinformation about the paleo community, besides it being unnecessarily aggressive and judgmental, it turns people off There are so many transitional people on sites out there and they rely on certain recipes to ease them through the process, the judgement can and does quickly turn them away 49:57 - What else is to come on the paleo philosophy discussion Stacy and Sarah will talk about fat and dairy Be sure to check the hashtag #morevegetablesthanavegetarian Sarah and Stacy will also talk about if you can be paleo and still eat conventional produce or meat Macronutrient ratios, ketosis, nutrient density, paleo perfectionism, the 80/20 rule, orthorexia, and scientific rational for paleo will all be touched upon in upcoming episodes covering this topic However, next week Amy Kubal will be on discussing blood sugar regulation, and the week after that will be paleo philosophies part two Don't forget to review the podcast on iTunes And next week a mega giveaway related to Beyond Bacon will be announced, which will be epic! 56:18 - Outro

You have to chose whether you are focusing on weight-loss, health, or building athletic capabilities Stacy is focusing on becoming fit and she has goals that she wants to reach related to that, but she isn't focused on body composition If you are going to focus on weight-loss, its completely different than performance or health - there may be overlap, but you need to pick one and focus on it Sarah wants to help Lauren pair down the goals a bit because losing weight is really hard to do while also improving your performance, especially if you aren't managing your stress when doing intense exercise If you are not eating enough carbohydrates to fuel your activity levels that creates stress, which increases cortisol and makes it harder to lose weight If she manages the stress and does what she needs to do to help her body recover, she actually may be able to drop the stubborn weight To manage psychological stressors have fun, try meditative practice, diaphragmatic breathing Thinking about your health goals in terms of the stress on your body and how to manage that may help the other pieces fall into place Diaphragmatic breathing is when you use your diaphragm to open your lungs rather than your chest muscles George reminds women that there is a level of leanness that is dangerous for women and you need to be aware of that Stacy recommends checking out Paleo for Women and this podcast episode featuring Paleo for Women writer, Stefani Ruper The two biggest risks with going too low with your weight are interfering with thyroid and reproductive hormones Pushing the body routinely to excess, like what elite athletes do, has been correlated with a bunch of health issues, mostly caused by a weakened immune system because you have to have adequate rest in between training sessions Warning signs are loss of period, period irregularity, fatigue, dry skin, hair falling out, brittle nails, not sleeping well, not waking up rested, having to pee in the middle of the night more than once, keeping weight around the middle There is a perfect balance when you are training, being excessively active can cause the same issues that a sedentary lifestyle causes You cannot tie health to the way your body looks George will take a sense of humor and a smile any day (53:49) Heather: How do I target fat loss in my midsection? George focuses on how his body feels when determining his workout frequency, but prefers to do Crossfit three days a week and then focuses on mobility two to three of the other days Crossfit is incredibly intense and you can quickly over do it and tax your system, revving your cortisol George feels like Heather may be over training The quantity of calories isn't as important as the quality If Heather doesn't feel like she is overdoing it, perhaps there may still be too many higher carbohydrates in her diet - she may want to look at how her paleo diet is structured and also look at sleep quality Nuts, butter, paleo baked goods can all be tricky areas if you are trying to lose weight Heather could also be gaining muscle from how she is training Nutritionists and registered dieticians can help her dial in and optimize her lifestyle If someone had extensive nutritional deficiencies before going paleo, your body may gain weight while it holds on to the new nutrients, but will eventually stop holding the weight (01:04:11) Kendra: Experiencing muscle soreness 48 hours after working out, what is causing this kind of delay? DOMS is delayed muscle soreness and is not a good thing Research has not been able to conclude what is causing it or how to solve the problem, but is has been linked to nutrient deficiencies You want to feel muscle fatigue from a workout within hours or a day or two The change in her DOMS time is a good thing because her doctor is helping her identify her deficiencies Stacy had a similar challenge and learned that she was deficient in magnesium Stacy says good work and keep doing what you are doing! George finds that he gets DOMS when something in his routine isn't working and when he may be over training Everyone feels muscle fatigue at different times, however, there is a normal range that you need to be aware of and you shouldn't feel gassed from every workout Stacy is off to go pick on George while he is still there, and Sarah is off to go catch up on sleep Have a good one everyone! 1:25 - Outro

There are some dramatic differences in the nutritional quality between pasture-raised and CAFO-raised The omega-3 to the omega-6 fatty acid ratio is commonly discussed in the paleo community Pasture-raised meat tends to have a much lower fat content than grain fed Generally the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in grass-fed meat is 3:1, in grain-fed meat the ratio is anywhere between 4:1 to 20:1 For optimal human health we should be aiming for 1:1 to 4:1 Pasture-raised and grass-fed animals also provide healthy sources of fat, like CLA, which is important for overall health and heart health - and pasture-raised meat and dairy are the richest source of CLA by a long shot Oleic acid is in olive oil, macadamia nut oil, walnut oil, and also pasture-raised meat, oleic acid is known for its healthy heart benefits Even animals that are organically grown and get even 1/3 of their diet from pasture have an improved fat profiles There are a lot of other nutrients that are also higher in grass-fed over grain-fed There are a number of vitamins and minerals that are higher in grass-fed, but it is variable Grass-fed beef can contain up to ten times as much beta-carotene than grain-fed and up to four times as much vitamin-E Both of these vitamins are strong antioxidants, and prevent pasture-raised and grass-fed meats from oxidizing All of the b-vitamins, zinc, iron, phosphorous and potassium are all higher Since pasture-raised animals are outside, their fat also contains vitamin-d, it is non-existent in factory-raised animals Pastured-lard is one of the top three sources of vitamin-d The nutritional content is remarkably higher in
