 Episode 103: What To Do When Increasing Carbohydrates Causes Fatigue | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 53:58

Thanks for joining us for episode 103 of The Ancestral RDs podcast. If you want to keep up with our podcasts, subscribe in iTunes and never miss an episode! Remember, please send us your question if you'd like us to answer it on the show. Today we are answering the following question from a listener: “Another carb question (shocker!) but basically the opposite of everyone else's! What does it mean if increasing whole food carbs mostly from potatoes and sweet potatoes made my fatigue worse instead of better? Background: I'm a 36 old female with low progesterone, adrenal dysfunction, and hypothyroid, which I'm on Armour for. I'm 5’ 7” eating about 1,800 calories a day. I do light exercise three times a week, mostly 15 to 20 minutes of body weight exercises getting my heart rate up a little bit, but not too much, and I walk the dog every day for 30 to 45 minutes. I went from a carb/fat/protein macro ratio of about 28/40/32 to 40/25/35 to see if I could increase energy and felt awesome for about 48 hours and then crashed hard, like can't get out of bed hard. I tried more of a 40/30/30 approach and that didn't work either. I didn't make a huge change. It's not like I went from zero carbs to 300 grams a day. What do you think gives?” To clarify, I'm a 36 year old 5’7”, 133 to 135 pounds last time I checked. Also by light workout/body weight exercise I mean I get my heart rate up a little bit but I could still hold a conversation and take breaks when I start feeling too out of breath. Okay, that's it. Thanks for humoring me and I hope you can answer my question! You two are the bee’s knees.” Often fatigue can be a consequence of low carb dieting and adjusting macronutrient levels is usually what it takes to restore energy. But what happens if this strategy backfires and increasing your carbohydrate intake makes you more tired than before? Today we share insight into the reasons why adjusting macronutirient ratios to increase carbohydrates from whole food cause an increase in fatigue. Join us as we discuss why under eating is often an overlooked factor with wide ranging effects, the importance of varying carbohydrate sources, and why too much protein can make it hard to reach appropriate caloric intake. Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: The role that under eating plays in developing symptoms while adjusting macronutrient ratios The effect of under eating on the HPA axis and hormone secreting organs The reasons why increasing carbs while under eating can cause fatigue How switching to a higher carbohydrate diet from a calorie deficient low carb diet can affect cortisol regulation Common short term symptoms associated with the transition period when increasing caloric or carbohydrate intake The effect that a diet too high in protein has on appetite and ability to eat enough calories The importance of varying carbohydrate sources from whole foods when increasing carbs Why you may want to consider evaluating gut health when dealing with adrenal fatigue Links Discussed: This episode is sponsored by Maty's Healthy Products TRANSCRIPT: Kelsey: Hi everyone!

 Episode 102: Incorporating Gray Area Foods Into A Paleo Diet With Russ Crandall | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:02:01

Thanks for joining us for episode 102 of The Ancestral RDs podcast. If you want to keep up with our podcasts, subscribe in iTunes and never miss an episode! Remember, please send us your question if you'd like us to answer it on the show. Today we are thrilled to be interviewing Russ Crandall! Russ Crandall is the talented home chef behind The Domestic Man, a leading food blog in the Paleo, gluten free, and whole foods community. He’s The New York Times bestselling author of The Ancestral Table and Paleo Takeout: Restaurant Favorites Without The Junk. Many that follow Paleo diet strictly stick to the list of approved and forbidden foods, but there are controversial gray area foods that people find they can tolerate and even thrive on. While the debate on these foods such as white rice and potatoes continues, deciding what foods meet your own needs is key to maintaining a healthy ancestral type diet long term. Today Russ Crandall talks with us about incorporating gray area foods into your Paleo diet plan. As Russ discusses his philosophy on gray area foods, he shares his personal health story and  journey finding what foods work best for him. Russ also shares how he decides what recipes he creates for his blog and gives practical, simple tips on how to take your cooking to the next level with basic whole food ingredients and techniques. Here are some of the questions we discussed with Russ: How did you end up becoming a Paleo and ancestral nutrition blogger and recipe developer? What is the significance behind the name of your blog, The Domestic Man? What is your personal philosophy on gray area foods? How did you figure out what was okay for you to reintroduce? Were there any foods you tried reintroducing that didn’t work at all for you? How does your philosophy on gray area foods affect your decisions about what kind of food you create for your blog? Do you ever get any push-back from people for using gray area ingredients? Why don’t you include dessert recipes on your blog? What do you think about a ketogenic or very low carb, high fat diet from an ancestral health context? How do you decide what kind of foods you want to make for your blog? What motivated you to create The Safe Starch Cookbook? What do you consider a safe starch? Do you have any tips for listeners who are struggling with creativity in the kitchen when they’re on a Paleo diet? Are there any simple things that you can do with basic ingredients to make it taste a little bit more gourmet? Are there any sauces like that that you like to use regularly? How do you decide what you’re going to get at the grocery store? What’s your philosophy on spice blends?

Today we are super excited to be interviewing Dr. Marc Bubbs! Dr. Marc Bubbs is a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, Author, Speaker, Director of Nutrition for the Canadian Men’s National Basketball Team, and Strength Coach. He’s been working with athletes, active people, and those striving to improve their health for over a decade and is passionate that diet, exercise, and lifestyle are the most important tools for improving your overall health, body composition, and performance. He’s the author of the Paleo Project: The 21st Century Guide To Looking Leaner, Getting Stronger, and Living Longer, a regular contributor to Breaking Muscle, PaleoDiet.com, and Healthier Talks, as well as the nutrition advisory board member for Strong Magazine. He regularly presents at health, fitness, and medical conferences across North America and Europe, consults with the NBA, NHL, and MLB teams, and sees patients in downtown Toronto. If you’ve tuned in to our podcast for any length of time, you know that one diet certainly does not fit all. When it comes to nutrition to fuel and recover from exercise though, it’s common for many to follow generalized recommendations whether a weekend warrior or an elite athlete. You won’t want to miss a minute of today’s conversation as Dr. Marc Bubbs shares insight into maximizing athletic performance using a personalized, real food diet. Just some of what you’ll hear about is meal timing, carbohydrate intake, crucial nutrients for athletes and where to find them in food, and tools you can implement to aid in recovery after exercise. Here are some of the questions we discussed with Dr. Marc Bubbs: What made you interested in naturopathy and nutrition? How do you find that the athlete population is a little bit different from working with some of your other types of patients? Can you tell us your opinion on carbs for athletes and for the general public? How can somebody determine what their goals are? What is the benefit to eating carbohydrates around exercise? Depending on the type of exercise, how much carbohydrate should people try to start with before or after exercise? Do you have a general meal timing strategy? What is your opinion about intermittent fasting for athletes? Are there types of intermittent fasting that work a little bit better between weekend warriors and elite athletes? Are there super important nutrients that an elite athlete or the weekend warrior should focus on? Where are those nutrients found in food? Where do you stand on supplements such as BCAAs or protein powders? What factors play into how well somebody is going to recover from exercise? What types of tools can people can use to recover and how do they impact recovery?

Today we are excited to be interviewing Adele Hite ! Adele Hite is a Ph.D. candidate in communication, rhetoric, and digital media at North Carolina State University, as well as a Registered Dietitian with a master’s in public health nutrition. Her work encompasses the rhetorical and cultural studies of food politics, nutrition science, and public health; science-based policy controversy; and the ethics of dietary guidance. Information abounds about what foods to eat and not eat in what we learn from conventional nutrition experts. But did you ever wonder what the basis is for this dietary guidance that forms people’s views about food and America’s public health policy? Adele Hite joins us today to discuss what she's learned throughout her research and experience about the effects of the Dietary Guidelines and food politics. Adele also shares insight into the state of nutrition knowledge and what the future holds for the Dietary Guidelines and public health policy. Here are some of the questions we discussed with Adele: What got you interested in studying the Dietary Guidelines? What’s your perspective on whether or not people are actually are following the Dietary Guidelines? Do you think that the Dietary Guidelines are having an actual damaging effect in real-time, or do you feel like it’s mostly the overall changes in the food environment that have led people to eat a different way? You say that there are many oversimplified narratives about nutrition, health, and “the obesity crisis” that deserve more critical examination. What are some of those narratives that you find to be the most pervasive? Do you think that there is a theory that explains the bulk of what causes obesity? If not, why is it so hard to figure out what’s causing it? What’s your opinion about the state of nutrition knowledge? What have you learned in the last several years of doing this deep dive research that either surprised you, was unexpected, or ended up actually changing your personal beliefs? What is your experience been as a dietitian who is not supportive of the Dietary Guidelines as they currently stand? Do you have any advice for listeners who don’t know how to blend their dissension with their career? What is your hope for the future of the Dietary Guidelines and public health policy in general?

Join us as Robb shares the compelling reasons why he wrote his new book Wired To Eat. Robb explains how our genetic disposition to eat more and move less combined with our modern environment and engineered foods is a force fighting against our attempts to achieve our health goals. Robb also shares his controversial opinion on our desire to create a healthy relationship with food and why social connection and community are vital to our health. You won’t want to miss a minute of our discussion! Here are some of the questions we discussed with Robb: What made you feel like you needed to write another book after the The Paleo Solution? Can you tell our listeners about the theory of hyper palatability and the neuroregulation of appetite, and how they can use this information in a practical way? How do you feel like this theory can apply to people that are doing more of a Paleo/primal type diet? Can you share a little bit about what your perspective is on the topic of a healthy relationship with food and how that plays into the neurobiology factor? Why did you focus so heavily on community and relationships instead of just food in your book? How important do you think it is?

But many of us first want to know what biohacking really is before diving in. Today Ben Greenfield shares his entertaining and informative take on biohacking. Join us as Ben defines what biohacking is while sharing with his personal experience of combining ancestral health with the modern science of biohacking in his daily life. You’ll even learn practical techniques that will empower you to biohack your own health today! Here are some of the questions we discussed with Ben: How did you get into the business side of the health and fitness and nutrition world? Can you describe what you’re general approach to diet is? Can you define if there’s a standard definition of biohacking, or what you perceive as biohacking? If we were going to talk about some techniques for biohacking for someone who’s never done it before and doesn’t have a lot of time or money to be spending, what would be a technique that isn’t really expensive or just crazy? What biohacks have made the biggest difference for you and where would you suggest people start? Is there anything from a diet perspective that you feel is a biohacking type of approach? Have you ever seen any issues that can come from excessive biohacking techniques?

Welcome to episode 94 of The Ancestral RDs podcast. I’m Laura Schoenfeld and with me as always today is Kelsey Kinney. Kelsey: Hey guys. Laura: Kelsey, how are you doing this week? Kelsey: Pretty good. I’m just kind of moving along with everything and just working on product creation mode, all that good stuff, which is like I talked about last time, it can be a little draining but I’m trying to hone everything else in my life down a notch so that I kind of have the mental energy to put into content creation. Laura: Are you doing the program 100% by yourself? Kelsey: Pretty much. I have some designers helping me a little bit of course to make everything look good and I have an assistant who is kind of helping me curate some content to go in there. But all the writing pretty much except for a couple pieces I’ve been doing, which is for me the hardest part. I don’t consider myself a great writer. Not that I’m not a great writer, but it just takes me a long time to... Laura: It’s not for you. Kelsey: Yeah, it’s not easy. That just takes me a lot of time and is kind of the most frustrating piece of it. As much as I’d love to hire someone to do all of the writing, I feel like that’s a little bit dishonest. But I’ve had some help with the writing piece of it and kind of getting the major points across well. And then I’ve done probably I’d say 90% of all the writing that’s in there, so that’s a lot for me.

Today we are answering the following question from a listener: “What do you think about intermittent fasting or other fasts? I’ve heard they can be contraindicated for women especially. If one wants to try fasting, what signs should they look for to know if it’s having a negative effect? Is there a way to fast that would provide benefits but minimize risks? It seems there are potentially real benefits to fasting.” Intermittent fasting has become a popular topic. We hear about the great benefits to health, but we also hear about the drawbacks and cautions against it. And with so many different fasting plans, it’s as confusing as it is intriguing. If you’re curious about intermittent fasting but don’t know where to begin to make sense of it all, you'll want to listen today! Tune in today as we talk everything fasting. Just some of what we’ll be discussing is the different methods of fasting, the benefits and drawbacks, and how to know if fasting appropriate for you. We’ll even be sharing tips on how to experiment with intermittent fasting to find a way that works for you. Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: Evolutionary theory behind the Paleo community’s promotion of intermittent fasting Explanation of different fasting methods Autophagy as a benefit associated with fasting Benefits of intermittent fasting on fat loss and metabolic function The importance of tracking your calories during feeding periods when intermittent fasting How the benefits of intermittent fasting can be obtained from caloric restriction How those who are overweight can have more benefits and less negative effects associated with intermittent fasting than normal weight people How women experience more negative effects from fasting than men Why choosing the right time to fast is key Why those with a history of eating disorder or a bad relationship with food should rethink intermittent fasting Common symptoms associated with negative effects of fasting Examples of illness that would benefit from fasting and illnesses that fasting would be detrimental Links Discussed: This episode is sponsored by Pure Indian Foods Laura's "5 Physical And Spiritual Health Lessons From My Daniel Fast" Article about the potential pros and cons of intermittent fasting TRANSCRIPT: Kelsey: Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 93 of The Ancestral RDs. I’m Kelsey Kinney and with me as always is Laura Schoenfeld. Laura: Hey, everybody. Kelsey: How are you doing today, Laura? Laura: Much better now that I’ve had steak for breakfast and dinner the night before. Kelsey: Sounds great. I’m sure that helps. Laura: Yes. It’s interesting, this episode is going to publish weeks after this happens. If anyone had been following me on Instagram or if they read my blog at all, they’ll have seen that I was doing a vegan fast as part of a spiritual fast with my church. I say vegan because it’s something called the “Daniel Fast” which is basically designed based on some different sections of the Book of Daniel, which is why it makes sense calling it the “Daniel Fast.” Basically there’s two different sections where the prophet Daniel abstains from food, either pleasurable food animal food. They kind of combined that into a single fast. The animal food thing was about the availability of kosher animals products which they didn’t have available to them. Being Jews they said they’d rather not eat any animal products rather than eat something that’s not kosher. Then the second one was really just more fasting from pleasurable and enjoyable food and just subsisting on plain and simple food for three weeks. Kelsey: Mm hmm.
