• Sarah has a beach vacation on the calendar, so Stacy and Sarah arranged for an early recording prior to her departure
• Women's Health (3:56)
• Thought it would be great to continue the women's health conversation with another question that will make for a great discussion
• Philippa asks:
• Is it safe to eat AIP while pregnant?
• Stacy notes that eating AIP while pregnant is perfectly safe
• For more information on eating AIP while pregnant, listen to this episode of The Paleo View
• My daily vitamin A is always above 60,000 IU and sometimes reaches 100,000 IU - are these levels too high and could they be dangerous in pregnancy?
• The fundamental needs of vitamin A for the function of our eyes, skin health, lung health, gut barrier health, sinus health - it is a very important vitamin for hormones, fertility, thyroid function - required for healthy bones and connective tissues - vital for the immune system
• The role that vitamin A plays with fetus health
• The difference in vitamin A from plants versus animals
• Cron-o-meter can be misleading with this nutrient information
• The misleading study that has led to an outdated vitamin A recommendation for pregnant women - and more recent studies have been completed to debunk that initial study and recommendation
• Why it is important to have vitamin D tested when you are looking at your vitamin A levels
• The research does not support a cause for concern with that level of vitamin A intake from high quality whole foods
• The scare tactics that go along with pregnancy
• Stacy and Sarah's experiences with cravings and food aversions during pregnancy
• When a food contains a high amount of vitamin A (example Stacy gave, bear liver), can it be dangerous to your health?
• The vitamin A level in bear meat is completely different from other commonly consumed liver cuts, such as beef liver
• We may consume a few omnivores, but primarily consumer herbivores, which impacts the levels of vitamin A that we are absorbing from our protein sources
• The higher up you are on the food chain, the higher the nutrient density is in the cuts of meat
• When consuming these cuts of meat with high levels of a specific vitamin, it is important to look at the intake of other vitamins and lifestyle factors when determining if a food could be toxic
• AIP When Pregnant
• Sarah would have followed a modified autoimmune protocol when she was pregnant had she known about it
• If your diseases is in remission while pregnant, it can be a nice opportunity to reintroduce some nutrient-dense foods that fall on the AIP list of foods to avoid
• Continuing to focus on nutrient density
• Managing stress, being active, and getting enough sleep
• An appropriate level of vitamin A intake when pregnant
• Finding a balance for yourself
• If you are at all worried, get your vitamin D levels checked
• Thanks everyone for tuning in!
• Sarah have an excellent vacation!
