This week, Stacy and Sarah review two listener questions that tackle an all or nothing mentality when it comes to dietary choices.You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here.Listener Questions:"I am inquiring because I am lost. I have been eating the same foods for well over a year now. And I mean the same. In my mind, that is better than eating non-AIP (I have mild psoriasis/dandruff (has been constant for over 5 years) and alopecia (not so much anymore, but the bald spots are still there).My inquiry is this: would it be at all possible for you to create a single ideal day that achieves an optimal level of nutrients (both micro and macro)? I mean, a single day's worth of food that has the utmost ideal macronutrient breakdown (i.e. 2500 calories, 200g carbs, etc.) and, more importantly, receives as many and as wide an array of micronutrients as humanly possible in a single day? I am desperate to change this. I know this single element is holding me back. Heck, I've even just bought the AIP Cookbook, but because of budgeting and kitchen space (I live at home), I do not have the equipment for a lot of the recipes (i.e. deep fryer, that vegetable grinder) and because of my complete unfamiliarity with cooking ingredients and lack of understanding how to attain a level of micronutrients and macronutrients (I absolutely know I am not eating enough calories for a young male/wannabe athlete), I simply resort to eating the same easy to prepare and familiar foods and end up in a rut and resort to binge eating or drink. I do not want to be like this, but I don't know where to start." - Ricky"First of all, you and Stacy continually BLOW MY MIND, in regards to the information and balanced insights you bring to your podcast. I want to thank you very much for your work. You ARE accomplishing the change in people’s lives by what you teach with the hard core science. I’m a science nerd too – EVERY time I listen, I am floored by the what I learn. Your podcast deserves the highest praise.Ok now for brass tacks.My inquiry isn’t perhaps very specific, but rather has to do with how one goes about implementing nutrition and lifestyle changes to make the transition to better health, better eating habits, in short my question is this- When and how to make the plunge?I’ve heard you say there are levels of involvement, from eating more microbiome supporting foods, to next level support with supplements. Still, we have in our family, with our son, a potential autoimmune condition looming on the horizon. We aren’t there yet….thankfully but!Am I being a fool to not implement an AIP diet for him? Can we just go ahead and implement it and see what happens? Is it ok to follow AIP even if you don’t need to? I like to think I’m capable of doing this protocol by myself, or by following your workshop. Does one need to have the added support of a functional physician too?Ok I realize you’re not in the business of advising a course of action to take. But perhaps you have a personal perspective from which to speak from?

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question. Listener Question:"Sarah and Stacy- I am so inspired by your podcast. My husband and I have been listening for years. We binged them all initially, and now listen weekly while preparing dinners together. We have benefited greatly from your advice and recommended products. I have Sarah’s Paleo Approach and sleep books, we use our Joovv everyday, I switched us all to safer Beautycounter products from Stacy about two years ago. So thank you for making such a positive difference in our lives!My mother was just diagnosed with full blown osteoporosis, notably in her right femur bone. Her bone test four years ago was healthy. My question is whether her struggles with IBS and gut health might have played a role in her diagnosis, and what could she do now to improve it?"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 Dr. Sarah really feel about the topics they discuss.

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy continue their Covid-19 FAQ series.Listener Question:Long-time listener here, and I adore the Patreon content! I wondered if it would be short content, but "knowing" you, why would I have thought that?! You give so much, and the Patreon episodes are no different. I utterly loved the first two episodes, and really enjoyed hearing about your move from identifying as Paleo and the changes in the Paleo community, especially around racial justice and anti-science. I'm a Whole30 coach and share your articles and podcasts with my clients so frequently. I also help moderate a Whole30 FB group of about 4,000 over-50 (mostly) women and when it's my turn to moderate I frequently have Science Week - and guess who is featured prominently each time?I adore the science, the friendly chat, the laughs and the tips. Truly, this new Patreon content is a bright gift in this very dark time. Thank you both!Thank you, Teri!Here is a quick recap of previous Covid-19 episodes: In Episode 396: this was early on, so Dr. Sarah and Stacy talked about known (at the time) epidemiology and why it was important to take the Coronavirus shut down seriously.  They also talked about autoimmune diseases and Covid-19, antibacterial soaps versus natural soaps, and the health effects of using disinfectants. They discussed the evidence efficacy (or rather lack-there-of) of silver-containing solutions. And did a bit of myth-busting surrounding elderberry for autoimmune disease.  Finally, Stacy and Sarah talked about taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and zinc. In Episode 401, Stacy and Dr. Sarah explored the way out of this pandemic and how to get back to normal life as we know it.They touched a little bit on reinfection cases, which they will be taking at a more in-depth look at today. They also broke down the science behind wearing face masks. In Episode 412, Stacy and Dr. Sarah talked about how isolation can impact immune function. They also myth-busted some of the concerns that have circulated around it. They discussed how isolation might affect the gut microbiome, public health messaging, and the huge importance of vitamin D when reducing the risk of Covid-19. In today's episode, Dr. Sarah reminds us that they will be focusing on: Reinfection versus Reactivation Long haulers (sometimes "Long Covid" Longterm complications/damage 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 Dr. Sarah really feel about the topics they discuss.
