Episode 485: Covid-19 Boosters for Adults
This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down the science behind Covid-19 boosters for adults. Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here!This Week's Listener Question:I wanted to say I listened to every covid 19 vaccine podcast. It was so good. And I got j&j. I am so grateful for the research and thought and time y’all put into it to help give me peace of mind and educate myself. I was in bed sick for 7 days recovering from the vaccine. And I am interested in the booster. And I am wondering if y’all are going to do another podcast on it. I am positive y’all probably got death threats which is just horrifying. But for folks like me who want to know the science balanced with a holistic mindset, it’s a true gift what you give to this holistic community. Okay I’m tearing up over here. Yes I had a rough week recovering from the vaccine. And I know I needed to get it. And I don’t regret it. But there’s not much talk about the booster. Would love your research and findings. Thank y’all for the work you do. Truly. So so thankful. - KateDon’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!

Episode 483: Reintroductions—They’re not just for AIP
This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down the science of reintroductions commonly associated with the AIP to determine how they work and how they might benefits us. Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here on Monday!This week's Listener Question:What foods have you been able to reintroduce, Dr. Sarah? What are common foods that people succeed with? I've been working with the AIP for a little over a year now, and the autoimmune community is so supportive and helpful with eliminations. Now that my doctor and I have made so much progress with correcting my dysbiosis, its almost time for starting the reintroduction process, but nobody talks very much about this part! For me, I've been reacting to almost everything that's removed on the AIP and the crucifer and umbellifer families besides. I want to know what others have successfully reintroduced but there's not much talk about that online. I know that every body is different, but how much can someone expect to expand their diet? What are the areas that most people have trouble in? Reintroduction feels lonely right now! - MeghanDon’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!

Episode 482: Natural Pain Management Strategies
This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down Sarah's top 3 natural strategies for pain management and how each can be used in addition to or even in place of a prescribed pain plan.Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here!This week's listener question:Hi Dr. Sarah and Stacy. My question is - how to begin the AIP without NSAIDs? I understand why removing them is critical - to recognize what foods and lifestyle components may drive inflammation. However, osteoarthritis is in both knees with the right one being bone on bone and in the cervical area, again with the right side being worse. Generally, I use aleve for pain and if I don’t have to travel or go in the office, I either don’t use it or use one instead. But with job sites reopening, I have had to use them more frequently and I have a bit of travel for my job. Oh, I’ll also mention that at one point, my CRP level was 41 and at last test a couple of years ago, it was down to 19. So I’m open to any suggestions on how to better manage the health challenges so I can begin AIP properly. Thanks so much!I take supplements including vitamins c and d, both of which are to reduce C-reactive protein. I strive for 8 hours of sleep though it’s mostly interrupted and have year round allergies for which I currently receive allergy shots. I also manage PCOS and osteoarthritis. - NicoleDon’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!

My two favorite people. I feel greedy writing you a third time but here we go again. I promise you I will not be disappointed if you don’t answer. But I do highly respect any and all opinions and information you put out into the health world. I recommend your resources to everyone! Even my doctors! You helped me a lot with an initial weight loss about 4 years ago and then with keeping my healthy eating practices while I was pregnant with my second child 2 years ago (with minimal guilt I might add) so I truly thank you!Sadly after I delivered I got “sick”. Doctors said I was fine. But through persistence and testing 6 months later I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (cancer) and I’m having trouble coming to terms with it. The reason I seek you guys out is WTF I was doing everything right. The health world says if my gut and lifestyle are good, do a little fasting, reduce the sugar I should be good no? I feel a bit bitter to the health world I’ve now been a part of for years. People keep recommending naturopathic treatment and think I’m crazy not to do it. I can’t afford it and my oncologists are saying NO. I’m very far gone and I need all the conventional medical advancements to keep me alive.I just want your opinion on Cancer and maybe even my bone marrow cancer if you know anything. My prognosis isn’t good. There’s no cure and it’s spread to my bones. What do I do health wise here? Am I justified to ditch the health world now and go full conventional medical care. What stuff from the health world do I keep around? I can’t take chances and I need to go with science. You are the most science minded people I know. Please consider a response if you have time.

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah dive into the science behind the effects of social isolation to determine whether living a hermit lifestyle can be healthy. They review studies pertaining to longevity, stress and anxiety, and benefits of pets. Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here!This Week's Listener Question:Hello Sarah and Stacy, even though it's part of my job to listen to the podcast every week it's something I really look forward to and I am a fan! I highly value both of your thoughts and I had a unique question I would love your take on. I have recently found myself in a place a lot of single people have. VERY VERY alone. The only people I socialize with in person are my parents (once a month for a few hours) and the only other interaction I have is with the wonderful women I work with virtually, although we all converse almost daily and it is not 100% work-focused.I don’t have friendships outside of that or participate socially in any way. In addition, I have been off all social media (except for work) for over a year and I don’t leave my house except for bi-weekly grocery trips. (I did get my haircut finally after I was fully vaccinated, and I did go to Target once, but I am in no hurry to do either again) I have also found myself in a place where I have no desire to make new friends, dive back into the dating pool or drawn to start a family. So basically I’m 40+ going on 80???Here’s the thing, I am now the happiest I have been since the pandemic started. (outside of all the upsetting things still going on all around us) I love waking up alone in my own home, cooking, nesting, working, watching movies, walking my dog and I am not bored or envious of others. I have essentially created a whole new lifestyle for myself, taking homebody to a new level. So my question is can you be a healthy hermit or will my little bubble of happiness lead to an unhealthy life long term? - Charissa Don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!
