 Episode 45: Empowering Body Confidence With Summer Innanen | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:23:15

Thanks for joining us for episode 45 of The Ancestral RD 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 interviewing Summer Innanen, the empowering woman changing the relationship women have with their bodies to inspire self-love and kick negative body image to the curb once and for all. Summer Innanen is a Body Image Coach specializing in helping women all over the world to ditch their diet demons, amp up their confidence, and break free of deprivation and guilt through her private and group coaching at summerinnanen.com. It's time to defy the conventional standards and redefine beauty.  Listen to today's podcast to jump on the path to realizing that the perfect body really is the one you have. Here are some of the questions we discussed with Summer: Summer's story: You used to be a Paleo nutrition consultant, and now you’re a body image coach who teaches women how to eat whatever they want and love their bodies regardless of their appearance. How did you get to this point? Your story is a great example of healthy behaviors gone wrong. Do you think it’s possible for women to approach health and fitness from a place of self-love while still pursuing a weight loss goal? Or do you believe weight loss is a worthless goal in the first place? Since you have a nutrition background, you obviously know more about nutrition than the average person. When you’re choosing what to eat, does nutrition cross your mind at all these days? Are there things you eat simply for the health value, or is that something you stopped doing after you liberated yourself from the dieting mindset? I’m sure a lot of women listening to this podcast think that eating whatever they want sounds fantastic, but that this way of eating can’t apply to them because they have a health condition like an autoimmune disease or digestive disorder. How does what you teach apply to women who have serious illnesses that are being managed by a more restrictive diet than the type you encourage? I love how you approach the topic of the inner critic, or as you call it the “evil doppelgänger.” Tell us about who the inner critic is and how she affects our decisions about what to eat, how to exercise, and how we feel about ourselves. You run a group program called Rock Your Body where you teach women how to escape the negative body image that controls their thoughts and behaviors, and start living in a way that is free of body shame, obsessive dieting and exercise, and self-doubt. Tell us a little about that program and what big changes you’ve seen in past participants lives after going through it?

Welcome to Episode 45 of the Ancestral RDs podcast. I’m Laura Schoenfeld, and with me as always is Kelsey Marksteiner. Kelsey: Hey everybody. Laura: So Kelsey, I know I was mentioning to you on the call before, you didn’t watch the Oscars last night, right? Kelsey: I did not. I’ve heard some of the winners. We were talking about this before, but yay Leo! Good for him! Laura: I know. I have this undying love for him that... I don’t know if he could ever be in a movie that I would not want to see. Kelsey: Right. Laura: I haven’t seen the Revenant yet. It looks a little scary, but I might wait until it comes out on DVD or whatever to watch at home so I’m not totally freaked out. Kelsey: Yeah. I think the only movie I haven’t seen with him in it is The Great Gatsby just because I heard it was terrible. Did you see that one? Laura: Oh, no. I liked it. Kelsey: You did? Laura: It’s not great. I don’t know how to describe it. I love Baz Luhrmann,

Subscribers receive emails with downloadable mealplans- including a grocery list & instructions for spending 2-3 hours prepping meals ahead of time. Here are some of the questions we discussed with Allison: How did you get into real food diets and then end up running a meal planning service? What are the benefits of the PrepDish system? How does planning ahead and being organized tend to improve people’s health or their ability to stick with their goals? What tips do you have for people who have a hard time making meal planning a habit? How do you recommend prepping and/or planning your meals when you are a single person cooking for just yourself versus a family? Can you customize meal plans to make it work for a family that has a lot of different taste palettes? What kind of flexibility do your meal plans have with macronutrients?

Welcome to episode 43 of the Ancestral Rds podcast. I’m Laura Schoenfeld, and over there in chilly New York is Kelsey Marksteiner. Kelsey: Hey, guys. Laura: I shouldn’t say chilly New York, as if North Carolina isn’t chilly right now too. We’re in like the twenties and got a nice little coating of ice today. Everything is shut down, as we do in North Carolina. Kelsey: A shut down. Oh, gosh. Yesterday we went out and the feels like temperature was negative 11. It was not fun. Laura: That makes me feel better being here. But I heard that you are potentially looking to move. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about why you are moving, or might be moving. Kelsey: This is the whole saga of my life for the last month or so, actually, which is that my doctor brought up the possibility that mold might be an issue for me given my heart condition, inappropriate sinus tachycardia, because there’s at least talk that long term mold exposure can kind of mess up the autonomic nervous system. That’s the nervous system that is basically making your body function, doing all the thing that you don’t think about, like breathing, your heartbeat, all that sort of stuff. And so he just said, maybe you should test your apartment and see if you have any mold issues. We did that, and of course it came back high. And now it’s been an interesting process to look for an apartment, especially in the New York area because it’s kind of tough. I mean, I don’t know that anywhere else would necessarily be better because I can’t really test anywhere before I go because, I don’t know if you’re aware of this, Laura, but anyone who lives in New York knows that the rental market is absolutely crazy where literally you’ll go and look at an apartment and you pretty much have to say within a day whether you’re going to take it or not. Laura: Right. Kelsey: Because somebody else is right behind you to take that if you’re not going to take it. It becomes this whole crazy thing of, well,

 Episode 42: A Paleo Diet Update – Where Are We Now? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 56:05

Thanks for joining us for episode 42 of The Ancestral RD 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're answering the following question from a listener: Paleo update: “Where are we on gluten, dairy, legumes, potatoes, and the low carb bias?” Are you wondering if there have been revisions to the seemingly strict Paleo diet guidelines of approved and restricted foods? Today we're updating you on the latest findings about all of these grey-area foods so you can decide for yourself if these foods should be allowed in your diet! Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: The current stance of the Paleo diet community on gluten, dairy, legumes, potatoes, and carbs The gluten debate and who should avoid it Problematic types of dairy The misunderstood legume may surprise you Reconsidering white potatoes Thoughts on the low carb bias TRANSCRIPT Kelsey:  Hi, everyone. Welcome to Episode 42 of the Ancestral Rds. I’m Kelsey Marksteiner and with me, as always, is Laura Schoenfeld. Laura: Hi, Kelsey. Kelsey: How are you doing, Laura? Laura: Good. A little tired from watching the Super Bowl with some friends last night. Kelsey: Yeah, I know. It was funny. You texted me last night about the Xifaxin commercial and we were talking about… I don’t know if anyone was watching the Super Bowl yesterday, because I wasn’t. But, Laura informed me that there was a commercial for Xifaxin, which is the brand name for Rifaximin, which is used to treat SIBO, which was kind of exciting and I think probably the only time I’ve ever been excited to say that I’ve seen a pharmaceutical commercial. Laura: Right. Well, it was funny. We were all paying attention to the commercials equally as much as the game as you do during the Super Bowl. Kelsey: Yeah, of course. Laura:  And we had seen a couple of these, I guess pharmaceutical commercials. I was joking about one of them being a pharmaceutical commercial for basically an opiate induced constipation commercial. Kelsey: Oh yeah, I’ve seen that one. Or I’ve seen something like that on Hulu Plus. Laura: Right, and then so it was an advertisement for a drug that was basically fixing a symptom of another drug, which I was like, are we at that point now that we’re advertising symptom fixing, or I guess medication side effect fixing medications? Kelsey: I know. It’s crazy. Laura: Yeah. Then this IBS commercial came on, and none of my friends are in the health field so they didn’t really understand that IBS is actually really common. They were like, why are they advertising a drug for IBS in the Super Bowl? Are they really that many people with IBS? And I said, actually, I think the stats are one in five people have IBS. I mean it’s a pretty good chance that somebody watching, or one-fifth of the population watching, is going to have it. When I was watching the commercial, I didn’t realize what drug they were advertising for and I wasn’t really paying attention that much. But then I saw the name Xifaxin come on, and it just kind of hit me. I was like, oh my gosh! They’re advertising Xifaxin for IBS treatment. And I just started getting really excited and my friends were kind of looking at me like I had three heads or something, like why do you care about this? And I just started saying, oh no, this is actually a really big deal because I have a lot of clients that have SIBO and SIBO is a major cause of IBS in a lot of people, if not the majority of people with IBS. And I have so many clients that have such a hard time getting either a SIBO diagnosis, or if they did get a SIBO diagnosis, getting on the correct medication is always a battle, and then insurance doesn’t want to cover it. It’s actually kind of a big deal because if you’re not having insurance coverage,

She lives in San Diego with the loves of her life, her Scottish husband Z and her cat Ellie.

Here are some of the questions we discussed with Steph: How did you get into Paleo and olympic weightlifting? Was it a gradual shift or did you have a big AHA moment at some point? When you switched to a Paleo diet, did you have any trouble making that transition as an athlete? If so, what are some specific modifications you had to make to maintain your highest level of performance? Why are so many recreational athletes confused about using real food to support their training efforts? What’s the biggest misconception when it comes to fueling your performance with real food? Can you have a goal of both fat loss and performance at the same time? What is your least favorite trend in the powerlifting, Olympic lifting and Crossfit communities when it comes to nutrition and dieting? You’re putting together a Women’s Strength Summit that contains interviews from some of my absolute favorite voices in the women’s strength, fitness, and nutrition industry. What are a few of the most interesting things you’ve learned while interviewing those women? Links Discussed: www.StephGaudreau.com www.StupidEasyPaleo.com The Women's Strength Summit

What healthy-ish snacks or types of snacks do you primarily try to nosh on? What select indulgences do you choose eat and how do you personally avoid bingeing on them? What might you do post-party if you're feeling a little fuller or more bloated than you'd like to be?"

 Episode 37: What Is Disordered Eating? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:22

Thanks for joining us for episode 37 of The Ancestral RD 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're answering the following question from a listener: "What is defined as "disordered eating"? I've heard you and Kelsey use that term frequently, and I used to think that meant the major eating disorders we think of such as anorexia or bulimia, or maybe even pica syndrome if you want to go way out on a limb. Is under-eating considered an eating disorder? I am a chronic under-eater. In my 20s, I frequently ate 900-1200 calories a day -- not because I was trying to starve myself, but I was trying to maintain my weight. I was only 100 lbs at 5'3", so I did have some body image issues that were skewed. But I honestly didn't feel that hungry, and I didn't realize I was only eating 900 calories a day until my husband brought it up to me. Fast forward to my mid-30s and my body is broken (HPA axis dysregulation among other things), largely due to the processed food I consumed for years PLUS the chronic under-eating issue. When I went Paleo over 3 years ago, my calories maybe got to 1400-1500 -- still too low for my body, plus I was eating a ketogenic diet for 3 years. The past several months, I've been on a mission to increase my calories by tracking my food each day. Once I started eating about 2,200 calories with about 120 g of carbs, I noticed I began to feel and sleep better. Yay! But I find that eating an appropriate amount of food each day is a struggle. If I stop tracking, I ultimately slip back into old habits and eat 1500 calories. I thought my question might be relevant to other women out there since I feel this type of low-calorie mentality is pervasive in our society, specifically among women where we are lead to believe our self-worth is closely tied to our pant size.

Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: How can I support my thyroid if I have to be low-carb? I have an autoimmune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis which seems to have been triggered by a gut dysbosis (confirmed bacterial overgrowth with a csda test, also low levels of bifido and lacto.) I manage my symptoms very well with a no starch/no sugar (not even fruit) diet as this seems to keep the bad bacteria from thriving. I also have low t3 though and would like to support my thyroid, is there anyway to do this without carbs? My overall goal is to reduce the level of bad bacteria and slowly begin adding in more carbs but after months I still seem to be able to only tolerate very no/low carb foods like meats, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables like peppers and spinach. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to eat more greens and adequate protein at every meal. I am usually not very hungry in the morning to begin with. I have tried my eggs and greens in a number of different ways, but frankly I'm bored on top of already not being interested. I will graze on the greens and eggs until noon when I then look sadly at my new lunch plate with another two cups of greens. I recently resorted to just eating salads, but I would love any new ideas.
