• Welcome Sarah from Primal Bites!
• Sarah is visiting Stacy, as she is in town competing for her second Strongman competition
• This was her first competition where there was a significant number of competitors and she won open middleweight
• Sarah B. had a busy day helping her daughter with a school project
• Paleo in the Dorm Room (4:33)
• Stacy and Sarah first met online, and then met in person at the New York book signing tour event
• They then connected on Instagram, and lifted together when Sarah was back home from college
• Sarah is a senior in college, working on a degree in sustainability and already has a lot of great opportunities for her professional future
• Thought it would be great to have Sarah on the show to help Stacy and Sarah B address college related questions
• Questions & Answers (7:51)
• Shivam - dealing with difficult acne, but was able to clear up 80% of the acne after following an AIP protocol while home for the holidays. Should I just eat the dining hall food for these four years of college and start your autoimmune diet to fix my gut later when I can afford and have access to paleo friendly food? Will my gut be harder to heal later if I don't act now?
• Explore your meal plan options - is it required? Can you reduce the number of meals you are paying for?
• Can still make good choices in the dining hall regardless of the cooking oil
• Research protein options within the dining hall
• How Stacy made "healthier choices" while in the dorm
• Sarah suggests getting a mini fridge and microwave for her room - it is possible to follow the AIP with easy options from a grocery store and basic tools in your dorm room
• There would certainly be a learning curve to navigating AIP from a dorm room, but it is certainly possible
• Read labels and evaluate options
• Check with your dining hall on how accommodating they are with food allergies
• You may be able to see a huge improvement in your health from eliminating the highly inflammatory foods, and then following a full AIP later when possible
• Play with reintroduction to see what it is your body is reacting to
• The longer the body is in an inflammatory pattern the harder it is to break out of the pattern
• There are compelling reasons to put in some efforts - and breaking your approach into pieces now will be hugely beneficial over the longterm 
• Making progress towards the endpoint in a sustainable way is what matters more than jumping into a Paleo approach full steam ahead
• Do the best you can now, acknowledge that there will be limitations along the way
• Stock up on the foods that work well for you
• Sarah's approach to Paleo at college
• Smaller batch cooking with one main protein, raw veggies, baked sweet potatoes
• Keeping meat and veggies in the fridge
• Preps for a few days in advance
• Protein bars
• Makes larger meals so she doesn't need to snack
• Prioritizes her budget around meat, vegetables and fruits
