This week, Stacy and Sarah break down the science behind Marijuana and gut health and look at the potential causes of CHS. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Listener Question:I love focusing on gut health. I've read your books plus Dr. Terry Wahls books. I rely on cannabis to help me manage some of the residual MS symptoms I have while I work on healing my body. I am greatly aware of the risk of developing CHS as it has been on the rise in the Medical marijuana community here in Portland. It's terrifying to know that something that helps us so much, can harm us too.My question: How does THC affect the gut and gut motility? How can we prevent CHS medical users who use regularly and sometimes heavily to help manage our diseases? There isn't a lot of research I've found surrounding the effects of thc on the gut. I know it can slow down gut motility, but how much is too much and is there a way to counteract this effect? Does CBD have the same effect as thc on the gut or is it different? Can they work together in the gut to create a safer gut effect versus using a higher thc ratio?Ratios are big in the medical world. We rely heavily on the science we are presented in regards to the best ratios for our specific disease. There needs to be more talk on the potential risks of cannabis and how to lower our chances of developing something like CHS since so many of us meet the criteria of being at high risk of developing it. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Seriously.

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah dive into caring for yourself, with a focus on how meeting basic needs and personal hygiene don’t count as self-care. Stacy breaks down the different types of self-care and Dr. Sarah looks into the science of how self-care works.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Instead of a listener question this week, Dr. Sarah and Stacy tackle a trending topic in health-conscious communities.Stacy kicks off this show by speaking about this article about women’s tendencies (especially moms) to put others’ needs above their own. This often takes the form of attributing "self-care" status to activities that fill a bare-minimum, basic need. Taking a hot shower or going on a quiet trip to the store without the kids isn't going to fill your cup and allow you to pour more into others. Sarah laughs that a part of her wants to clap her hands over her ears and not listen. If any listeners feel similar ways, like if you don't call the bare minimum stuff self-care, then can't call anything you do self-care, Sarah wants you to know you are not alone.Don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com! If you haven't yet unlocked our bonus content, checkout Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and how Stacy and Sarah really feel about the topics they discuss.

This week, Stacy and Sarah break down nutrient deficiencies caused by stress and its effects on the body. They go through the most common nutrient deficiencies in adults and offer helpful insight into what you can do to help.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.This show is a direct follow-up to last week, where Stacy and Sarah talked about supplementing while on AIP and the philosophies that couple different strategies together. In that episode, Sarah mentioned certain nutrients, such as Magnesium and Vitamin C, which depleted during times of chronic stress. Studies have shown that supplementing with Vitamin C can support a healthy stress response, which in turn can help improve sleep, regulate appetite, improve immune function, lower cardiovascular disease risk, improve depressive and anxiety symptoms, and even reduce migraine headaches! Nearly half of Americans aren’t getting enough daily! Plus, infection, inflammation, and stress all increase our vitamin C needs.Don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com! If you haven't yet unlocked our bonus content, checkout Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and how Stacy and Sarah really feel about the topics they discuss.

When starting aip I was still taking my regular one but realized it had soy in it. I just listened to the vitamin D episode and realize how important it is for skin health. I need to get a new one and wanted to see what you recommend. I'm already doing Vital Proteins collagen, zinc, and fermented cod liver oil supplements. Anything else you recommend? I'm 3 weeks in and feel a lot better!! But I do miss eggs, chocolate, and rice cooked with homemade broth the most!!

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah answer questions from listeners regarding the Covid-19 Vaccines Myths in hopes of clarifying any unclear areas from the previous two shows.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Previous Covid-19 showsIn episode #440, Dr. Sarah and Stacy examined the history of vaccines and the very real statistics on vaccine-induced injury. They also looked at the advances that led to mRNA vaccine technology and the inherent advantages of this platform.In episode #441 explored the safety and efficacy data from the phase 2/3 clinical trials for both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Moderna covid-19 vaccines.Stacy thanks every listener for all their positivity and understanding. The point of these shows is to give the information needed to make an informed decision for yourself. She also reminds listeners that she and Sarah are not medical professionals. They are not qualified to give medical advice on whether you should get the vaccine or not.Listener FAQ: Covid-19 Vaccines Myths The first question Dr. Sarah takes is about herd immunity and why wearing masks is still encouraged after vaccination. Dr. Sarah jumps to another listener's question on whether those asymptomatic or mild cases carry the risks of long covid or other long-term damage.  Another listener asks if the Covid-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and children yet, due to it being super unclear in the media.  Another listener asks for recommendations for breastfeeding. Sarah says that nothing is saying that breastfeeding could be problematic. But it does warrant a conversation with your doctor. Dr. Sarah addresses a question from a listener regarding information she heard about the possibility of hurting the lining of their placenta when they want to have children. What is the premise of this?  Dr. Sarah covers another question on whether a vaccine could cause something with no history of autoimmune conditions to trigger a response for a lifelong autoimmune condition.  Dr. Sarah revisits vaccine injury, which they discussed in the Covid first show, and the timeframe.

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah look at the differences in dietary protocol. They share their personal experiences, and what the science shows is the best place to start!You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Listener QuestionHello Dr. Sarah and Stacy! I was so happy to find your podcast during these strange times and have found all your Covid shows so helpful. I understand that neither of you strictly follow any of the diets you talk about on the show (AIP, Sarah’s Gut Health Diet and Paleo) but rather used them to find out what worked best for you over time. For those of us just starting out how do we go about picking a diet to start from? Is there a hierarchy here? And where does being a “nutrivore” fit into all of this? Apologies if you have already covered this, but I am slowly working my way through your shows. I have come to trust your recommendations and I would like to re-do my own way of eating, I just don't know where to start.
