Episode 475: Can I Be Nutrivore If I Don’t Eat Organ Meat?
This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah dive into the science behind a nutrient-density to decide if you can still be Nutrivore if you don't eat organ meat. Dr. Sarah shares her most recent work in Nutrivore and even announces the November launch of her new website, nutrivore.com!Links to any products and articles discussed in this episode here.Listener Question: Hey ladies thank you for the amazing podcast, glad I found you! I have been following the AIP since January, sort-of. I found that I focused solely on what NOT to eat, rather than paying attention to what TO eat on the AIP, being that I felt my diet ahead of starting the AIP was already pretty healthy. Catching up on past episodes, realized I had completely missed the fact that following the AIP is intended to be focused on ADDING in foods. I went back to my yes/no list and discovered I was sorely lacking in one area, organ meats. I can not get my head around consuming these. So my question is can I benefit from the AIP without them? Are there other ways to get the same benefits of organ meat through uping other YES foods? Sorry if you have already covered this, I am slowing working through past shows.

It seems every time I go even a bit lower carb at all, I lose weight I don't have to lose. My nausea gets worse and I feel like I'm starving to death no matter how much meat, fruit and veg I eat. I eat a lot of nuts and avocado to try to keep up the calories, but it isn't always enough. I have a harder time falling asleep and wake up hungry in the night and can't fall asleep without eating something. It makes it feel impossible to make changes. I don't know what to eat and it's really stressful.Stacy and Dr. Sarah have talked a lot recently about weight discrimination as it relates to bigger bodies. Stacy feels it's very important to underline that this is a safe and inclusive space for all body shapes and sizes.

Episode 467: Can Eating Sugar Daily Be Healthy?
This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah dive into the science behind sugar consumption to answer whether or not eating sugar daily is healthy. They look at how sugar is broken down, how it can impact health, and what we can do to ensure we're making the best possible choices.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Listener Question:Dear Stacy and Dr. Sarah,I am a long time fan of your amazing podcast and both of your blogs, and took the AIP lecture series a couple years ago and learned so much. I have listened to the whole series at least three times, and your voices have become like part of my brain now :) I feel so much attachment to both of you, and can’t tell you how much I appreciate the contributions you’ve made to my life. My problem is sugar. I follow a maintenance AIP and my meals are great — ALL the veggies and seafood and healthy starchy veggies and working on organ meats! — but I have this one kind of ridiculous habit that I haven’t shaken. Namely, I have always been a sugar lunatic. In my twenties, I drank a million diet Cokes a day and ate just hordes of candy, and over the years I have tried to stop eating sugar a number of times but find it so hard. Even during the elimination phase of AIP I struggled — I would eat power balls and have spoonfuls of honey from the jar! Now I’m eating healthier than ever and have for years, but I eat sugar almost every evening — honey in tea, dark chocolate, some paleo treats, and if my kids have candy around, I find it so hard not to eat. I know it is not rational to eat AIP except candy of all things…Anyway, I’m hoping you might be up for a new sugar show. I feel like maybe I just need to really get why sugar is so bad. I was wondering if you could update on how does sugar affect the microbiome? Inflammation? I am hoping that maybe I can get some info that I can hang my hat on!Love and appreciate you both so much.

Episode 466: Our Stories On the Healing Power of Food and Ditching Diet Culture
Food as Medicine: the healing power of food and how a scientific mindset allowed Stacy and Sarah to ditch diet culture in this week's episode of The Whole View, 466. We recap our health journeys and how reframing health allowed us to embrace science-backed metrics of health, such as nutrient sufficiency, for living well - inside and out.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Listener question:Hey Sarah and Stacy! Long time listener here, love all your recent shows on the covid-19 vaccine. It really helped me feel confident in my decision to go get vaccinated. I happened to get the Pfizer! But, the real reason I'm writing you today is to get your help, not for me, but for my mom. She doesn't have any diagnosed health conditions, but always complains about headaches, feeling tired, having stiff joints that make things like gardening harder, and she's always trying to lose those thirty pounds. I've been trying to get her to make some diet changes, even, as you two always say, eating some more vegetables and giving up gluten for a few weeks just to see if it makes her feel better. But, she really doesn't want to change how she's eating and doesn't see the connection between what we put in our bodies and how we feel. My question for you is -- how can I help my mom understand the healing power of food? Especially when she isn't really sick or anything, just not as healthy as she could be?Thanks again, DebDon’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!
