Wellness Her Way with Gracie Norton

Episode 39: Hi guys!! Today we’re chatting with Autumn Smith. She’s a holistic nutritionist, co-founder of Paleovalley + Wild Pastures, and host of the Optimize Paleo podcast. Autumn’s story is so inspiring. She suffered from debilitating digestive issues and crippling anxiety for most of her life. After specialist told her nothing could be done, but as one final attempt at a life free of health issues, Autumn decided to harness the power of whole foods. In this episode we talk about all the changes she made that helped heal her IBS symptoms in 30 days. Her experience led her and her husband to start a company dedicated to helping people get essential nutrients they need without added sugars, grains, and other harmful ingredients. After learning about the healing powers of grass fed, pasture raised meat, Autumn and her husband Chas started their next venture. In 2018, they launched Wild Pastures, a regenerative meat delivery service that sends 100% grass fed pasture raised meat directly to your doorstep. In this episode she exposes the meat industry and shares all the things we should be looking for on our labels when purchasing meat. She also talked about the importance of a high protein diet, easy ways to increase protein intake, and she even shares some of her favorite cycle syncing tips at the end of the episode. I think there are so many of you that are going to not only relate to her story but learn so much from everything she shares in this episode. PRODUCTS MENTIONED: You can learn more about Paleovalley HEREYou can learn more about Wild Pastures HEREYou can shop Paleovalley products for 15 percent off HERECONNECT WITH ME:Follow Wellness Her Way on Instagram for podcast updates: HERE Connect with me on TikTok: HEREConnect with me on Instagram: HEREProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
