Is celery juice really the miracle food that will solve all your ailments?! In this week's episode, Stacy and Sarah are separating the celery juice fad facts from fiction to determine if the claims are really all they're cracked up to be.

(0:00) Intro Stacy is a bit exhausted after traveling twice this month and tackling a huge project at work, which has her wondering... would celery juice help?! (2:00) What is the celery juice fad? Celery juice is a new fad that's taking over the internet! Influencers are promoting this fad diet left and right, claiming it is the secret to amazing health and will cure all these things. You're supposed to drink 16oz of straight celery juice on an empty stomach every morning. And in JUST ONE WEEK, you'll allegedly restore gut health, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, improve autoimmune diseases, starve out all the bad bacteria, balance your body's pH, clean your blood, hydrate on a deep cellular level, reverse depression, etc, etc, etc. Sarah is very worked up about this (not in a good way)! And she's here to get to dispell the myth, look at the science, and get to the bottom of it! Let's take a step back... (8:17) What is celery? Celery is a member of the parsley family. It's a very nutrient-dense food. A 100g gram serving (approximately 2 stalks) has only 16 calories, but 1.6g fiber, 37% of the recommended daily vitamin K, ~9% of vitamins A, C, folate, potassium, and manganese, and ~3-4% of the B vitamins. Plus a few others. Despite being thought of as a "filler food," celery has a lot of nutritional value. Does it really burn more calories to eat celery than celery contains? Sarah does agree that the energy you get from celery (in terms of calories) is basically nonexistent. Celery is very rich in polyphenols, which are important anti-oxidants. They're anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, can reduce cancer risk, regulate blood sugar, be a neuroprotective, etc. (18:04) Phytochemicals in celery Apigenin Studies suggest apigenin can reduce inflammation, prevent cancer, prevent diabetes, improve brain health, reduce pain, and may have a calming effect both via the GABA neurotransmitter system and the HPA (fight-or-flight) axis. Caffeic acid Studies suggest caffeic acid can reduce inflammation, prevent cancer, prevent toxicity associated with chemotherapy and radiation, prevent diabetes, prevent premature aging, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (like Parkinson’s disease), and reduce exercise-related fatigue. Chlorogenic acid Studies suggest chlorogenic acid can reduce blood sugar, prevent diabetes, aid in weight loss, reduce blood pressure, aid in homocysteine detoxification, and enhance mood. Chrysoeriol Studies suggest chrysoeriol can reduce inflammation, regulate the immune system, prevent cancer, and prevent diabetes. P-coumaric acid Studies suggest p-coumaric acid can reduce inflammation, reduce intestinal inflammation, regulate the immune system, improve bone density, act as an antidepressant, prevent cancer, protect against kidney damage, and protect against tissue damage caused by drugs and alcohol. Coumaroylquinic acid Studies suggest coumaroylquinic acid can increase activity of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most important endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Ferulic acid Studies suggest ferulic acid is a particularly potent antioxidant that can reduce inflammation, prevent cancer, prevent toxicity associated with chemotherapy and radiation, prevent diabetes, prevent premature aging, protects the liver and lungs, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer’s disease), and lowers cardiovascular disease risk factors. Kaempferol Studies suggest kaempferol can reduce inflammation, regulate the immune system, prevent cancer, act as an antimicrobial, prevent diabetes, reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer’s disease), improve bone health, and aid weight loss. Luteolin Studies suggest luteolin can reduce inflammation, reduce vascular inflammation, regulate the immune system, reduce allergic responses, protect the brain, prevent cancer, prevent toxicity associated with chemotherapy and radiation, prevent neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer’s disease), reduce pain, and may have a calming effect via the GABA neurotransmitter system. Tannin Studies suggest tannins can reduce inflammation, regulate the immune system, prevent cancer, are antimicrobial, improve blood clotting, reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, produce liver necrosis, and prevent cavities. (25:04) Celery extract vs celery juice It's true, celery has all these amazing things. But most studies look at celery extract (a concentration of all these good things in celery), but not celery juice. Mostly attributed to the polyphenol content, studies have shown celery extract can prevent: cardiovascular diseases liver diseases urinary tract obstruction gastric ulcers gout rheumatic disorders cancer (at least in cell culture) increases spermatogenesis, and improves male fertility diabetes (these effects are verified in humans) neurodegenerative disease Studies on celery juice have looked at chemotherapy use in animals and have discovered celery juice helps preserve the body's antioxidant capacity. This can helps reduce the side effects and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. Sarah notes these are compelling reasons to consume celery. Stacy chimes in with a clarifying question: does the science say celery juice or extract is better than consuming the whole vegetable? Celery extract comes from blending the whole plant (celeriac, stems, and leaves) with alcohol (methanol or ethanol), strain it to remove the solids, freeze-dry it to evaporate the alcohol, reconstitute it, and add saline to turn it back into a liquid. Celery juice comes from juicing celery stalks (with leaves attached). Studies show that celery juice is comparable to other vegetable juices. It yields about 79% juice and the other 21% of the juice is thrown out with the fiber. When you juice celery, you only get about 56% of the flavones, the main class of polyphenols, in the juice. The other 44% are trapped in the fiber (or pumice) that's discarded. Stacy highlights this point, that the science says when you juice, you're throwing away 44% of the beneficial qualities of that vegetable when you're juicing it versus consuming it whole. You cannot buy celery extract. Celery seed extract is not the same thing as celery extract. People are juicing celery to try to replicate the benefits seen in the animal and cells. But it's not the same thing. However, Sarah notes, the half of phytochemicals that do make it into the juice are interesting. The ones that do make it in are more easily absorbed than in the whole food version. But this doesn't take into account the activities of gut microbiome. Most polyphenols are poorly absorbed. We only absorb 5% of the polyphenols because they're locked in large molecules. Juicing helps make these polyphenols more available. (40:36) The bottom line: eat more vegetables Bottom line: eat more vegetables. Celery isn't particularly unique when it comes to polyphenol content. Whole celery is more beneficial than celery juice. If you want to take advantage of all the polyphenols celery has to offer, start eating more celery. Add celery to soups or blend it into smoothies. For example, comparing celery juice to parsley juice, parsley juice had 10x more flavones (polyphenols). Eating vegetables (and consequently phytochemicals) is only beneficial! Sarah has yet to see a research paper that says otherwise. Celery juice is not going to cure all your ailments as claimed by influencers. There's no science to support that. Don't waste your money on an expensive juicer. Stacy and Sarah note that sometimes people feel so much better on juice fasts because they're getting nutrients that their body is deficient in. If someone eats a standard American diet, devoid of vegetables, and suddenly start drinking vegetables, it's not surprising that they'll feel better.

Cassy has a guest recipe on RealEverything.com: a paleo gingerbread house! Fun fact: Cassy initially went to school to become an entymologist (someone who studies bugs). Cassy demonstrates her "dog voice." (11:03) Ditching the diet mentality The podcast has kicked off the New Year focused on making healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes with the mentality of making it a sustainable, longterm solution. If you missed the first couple episodes, check them out here: TPV Podcast, Episode 333: 2019 Resolutions Check-In Show TPV Podcast, Episode 334: The Secret to Dietary Success: Meal Planning TPV Podcast, Episode 335: How Many Vegetables Part 3: Souping vs Smoothies Cassy notes we give diets so much power. It can be easy to get sucked up into the negative mentality that eating off plan makes you "bad" or "a failure." But that's not true! You're creating a lifestyle so it's important to be kind to yourself, move on, and keep going instead of beating yourself up and falling off the wagon. Stacy wonders how we can find the balance between living a healthy, sustainable life and the stress of yoyo-dieting. Cassy says the object of the game is not to eat as few foods as possible. The goal is to heal and eat a variety of foods to get maximize nutrient density. Are you choosing foods for health? Or are you choosing foods based on arbitrary rules and restrictions. Sarah jumps in highlighting the difference between dieting and lifestyle. Dieting: following rules and restrictions to acheive a short term goal Lifestyle: a long term goal where you're finding balance and sustainability so you can continue this diet and lifestyle for the rest of your life. Sarah notices that in the AIP community, because it's such a restrictive protocol (even though it's a healing protocol), it can create the "diet mentality" that causes person to be afraid to reintroduce foods. (23:51) How do you stay on track after ditching the 'diet mentality'? Cassy says it's about being very strategic with your reintroductions, being thoughtful and careful. When you're following a plan, it can take some of the scariness out of these transitions. But it's important to trust the process and trust your coach. Instead of feeling like you failed on a diet, what if the diet failed you? It might not have been the right program for you. Cassy recommends sticking to the principles of good nutrition, sleep, exercise, and when you choose to indulge, enjoy it and move on the next day instead of beating yourself up. Indulgences don't have to be a "cheat" they can be part of your plan! Stacy notes when you call something a cheat, you're assigning a negative emotion to that food. (33:56) Strategies for creating sustainable habits Cassy says once your program is over, don't feel like you have to abandon all the healthy principles you learned! Pick your favorite healthy practices, tendencies, foods, etc, that you learned from the program and continue them. Meal planning and prep are essential to get your nutrition on track.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 335: How Many Vegetables Part 3: Souping vs Smoothies (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Sarah and Stacy are back with part 3 of their 'How Many Vegetables' series! They received so many great questions about the first part and even second, that they're back to answer your questions! Today specifically, they're covering souping and smoothies Stacy and Sarah apologize to Christie for holding on to her great question for a year... but they're here now to answer it! (6:03) Christie's question "Thank you both for your podcast, I look forward to it every week, and it has become a huge inspiration to try to eat a more nutrient-dense diet, exercise and move more, and in general take better care of myself. I have been drinking smoothies in the new year as a way to up my vegetable content. I know they are not typically recommended, but mine tend to be about 90% leafy greens (spinach, kale, or a blend), a small handful of frozen mango, a pinch of salt, and water. I recognize that foods that you drink tend not to be as satisfying as ones that are chewed, and, although I don't always succeed, I try to have a combination of protein and fat on the side to make it a complete meal.I was curious about what your thoughts were about this type of smoothie (much more vegetable than fruit) as a way to increase my vegetable intake.I was curious about this especially in the context of Sarah's post about soup. If blended soups tend to help keep one satiated longer, would a smoothie and a combination of fat/protein, or adding protein powder and/or fat to my smoothies make them a healthier option for me? How would this differ from a traditional soup? If I replaced the salt and water with a broth to make it more nutrient dense and soup like (maybe without the mango), would that have an impact? Any recommendations or thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.Thank you both for all you do!" Stacy says that Christie is definitely on the right track! (7:32) The truth about juicing According to Sarah, when you juice, you remove all the fiber which turns the vegetables into rapidly absorbing carbohydrates. Essentially, you're making vegetable-flavored sugar water and you're losing out on a lot of the nutrients that are bound to the fiber matrix. There are two main things in veggies that are really important: Anti-oxidant phytochemicals. Fiber. The fiber from vegetables and fruit feeds a healthier microbiome. This means vegetables need to be eaten in their whole form that includes the fiber. Stacy recommends trying the Bone Broth Smoothie recipe on her blog. It's a great way to add some nutrient density to your smoothie. You don't have to choose between 'souping' or smoothies - you can combine both! (12:34) Souping Per calorie, any liquid calorie is less satiating. They don't fill us up as much and we're hungrier sooner. It doesn't matter what the macro breakdown is. If you do a smoothie, it is not as filling as if you ate all the ingredients that went into that smoothie independently. This could be beneficial for someone who is trying to gain weight. Soup appears to be an exception to this. Studies show even pureed soup help us feel fuller, longer than if we ate all the components separately. Fully pureed keeps us fullest the longest. A chunky soup of broth, meat, and veggies keeps us fullest 2nd longest. And a meal of the separate ingredients is least satisfying compared to the above. The benefits of soup: It digests slower It helps us feel fuller longer Though it absorbs quickly, it causes a release of satiety hormones, which has an appetite suppressing effect. Faster nutrient absorption Though there isn't a study for this, Sarah suspects that eating the hot liquid calories has something to do with it. If you're looking to reduce calories and lose weight, soups are more satisfying, so they could be a great way to go. Stacy notes that some people prefer juicing because eating a full meal while sitting at an office job for 8 hours a day makes them feel sluggish. She says it's important to match your food to your energy output. Sarah jumps into to say that this could have something to do with cortisol release after a meal, especially depending on how stressed you are during the day. Sarah thinks soup would be a good option in Stacy's sister's circumstance because they're easily digestible. Fatigue could also be a sign of a food allergy. (24:35) Raw vs cooked fiber When you make soup, you're cooking the ingredients, versus a smoothie, which contains raw ingredients. This changes how easy the nutrients are to absorb and how they affect the gut microbiome. Cooked foods are more easily digestible, which provides more energy. We also absorb more nutrients from cooked food. Depending on whether a food is raw or cooked, it will support the growth of different gut bacteria. However, raw ingredients can have beneficial effects on our prebiotic bacteria. So it's important to eat both raw and cooked foods because it supports a diverse gut microbiome! Sarah suggests cycling between raw, slightly cooked, and very cooked vegetables. (29:24) Particle size matters When you put soup or smoothie into a blender, you're breaking those foods up into a size that's even smaller than we can chew, which changes how this food behaves in our digestive tract. People with gut issues do really well with soups and smoothies because it's much easier to digest. This also makes the fibers more easily fermentable in your gut. It's important to note, this isn't always a good thing. Because it's so easily fermentable, there might not be enough of that food left to ferment in the large intestine. This is an argument for complete meals and mixing it up! Include a mix of smoothies, pureed soups, chunky soups in your diet. Sarah goes on a tangent about scientific studies and butter. (42:16) The wrap-up Stacy concludes she's going to continue eating soup. Though if you love green juice, you don't have to cut them out entirely! Drinking in moderation and drinking it alongside healthy fat and protein will help slow down the absorption. Stacy and Sarah do not recommend going on a month-long juice fast. Stacy remembers when her mom when on a diet that involved juicing and eating hot dogs and she thinks that's when her mother's health began to decline. Every study Sarah and Stacy have ever found confirms that vegetables improve our health. So why mess with a good thing? Thank you for tolerating all of our tangents today.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 334: The Secret to Dietary Success: Meal Planning (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Happy new year! This podcast is officially coming to you from 2019! We've got a whole bunch of New Year's themed topics coming up this January so if you're starting a new diet or wellness practice or getting back into the groove of your routine, this month of the podcast is perfect for you! (2:38) Today's topic: meal planning One of Stacy's most frequently asked questions on social media is about her family's meal planning board. There are many different ways to approach meal planning from extremely structured like you'll find in Stacy's cookbooks and Sarah's cookbooks or more informal and go-with-the-flow. Meal planing is highly customizable so it's important to tailor it to what works for you, your schedule, and your preferences. That is what will set you up for success. Start by thinking ahead: What will my challenges be this week? Do I have a free night to cook? What do I want to eat this week? What meals can I make that will give me leftovers? Is there a night or morning that I won't have time to cook and will need leftovers? (10:06) How Sarah's family meal plans Sarah personally does a more informal style of meal planning because she has so much experience cooking and planning. She buys the same staples every week - foods that her family enjoys and are easy to make - so she can throw meal together when needed. When she first started cooking paleo, however, she preferred the more structured version of meal planning! (12:15) How Stacy's family meal plans Stacy's family, on the other hand, holds a weekly family meal planning meeting. One method that's made meal planning successful is having food delivered directly to their house. Stacy is a huge fan of Hungry Harvest because they help cut down on food waste by purchasing the foods, especially produce, that is perfectly good, but isn't "up to par" for grocery stores. Find out where Hungry Harvest delivers here. Stacy's family cleans out the fridge on Friday, receives their box of produce on Saturday, and based on what's in the box (because it's often a surprise!), the family creates a meal plan. By taking the time to meal plan, Stacy's family has saved time, money, food waste, and stress! During the family meal planning meeting, each person picks a meal they want to make that week. The boys love this! It gets them engaged in food preparation and makes them excited when their meal comes during the week. Stacy's family made a meal planning board at an AR Workshop, but there are many different ways to make a meal plan! Stacy has found that visually displaying it has made a big difference. (23:30) Meal planning resources and tools This is not a sponsored podcast, but if you plan on using any of these products or services, please support Sarah and Stacy by clicking their links here in the show notes!

Stacy and Sarah are kicking off 2o19 sharing their takes on what makes a healthy New Year's Resolution, their personal resolutions, and the secret sauce that will help you increase your motivation to make this year's resolution a life long habit.Click here to listen in iTunesIf you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 333: 2019 Resolutions Check-In Show (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Happy New Year from Stacy and Sarah! Stacy reminds listeners not to use the new year to shame yourself. Instead, focus on the positive: joy, self love, and being your best self. Instead of guilt and shame, look forward and frame your resolution as "I want to be healthy for my family, so I can live my best life, etc..." Sarah jumps in saying New Year's Resolutions are often things that we want to do but we haven't accomplished yet. Not to mention, it comes on the heels of a month or more of indulgence, being sedentary, etc, which can make the goal that much more difficult. There's a fine line between acknowledging less than optimal choices and learning from them. If you're too dismissive of the bad choices, it makes it that much easier to fall down the rabbit hole of bad choices once more. (10:17) Stacy and Sarah's 2019 Resolutions Sarah considers herself a "resolution-y" person, meaning, she's very goal oriented! She likes to start the new year with resolutions, both big and small. Though she admits, she's been so focused on finishing up her book this fall that the new year has crept up on her and she doesn't have concrete resolutions formed. One resolution on her mind is maintaining the level of clean she got her house to after the deep clean she did before the holidays. Stacy's resolutions include consuming more broth and soup. But her big one is to make resolutions that have nothing to do with her body. Stacy says she's spent the last 9 years completely focused on her body (what she eats, exercise, digestion, healing autoimmune conditions, etc), which leads to guilt or shame about opportunities she missed and what she could have done better. This year, she wants to free herself from that and focus on the important things in life like her family, raising Penny to be a great family dog, traveling, etc. Though her body and mind cohabitate, they need to be nurtured separately. Ultimately, her resolution is to reframe. Sarah expands on that point, stating that it's important to focus on the "why" just as much as the "what." For example, Sarah's former resolution to go to bed at 10pm every night is more important than just getting sleep because it's good for you. Getting quality sleep makes her a better mom, makes her funnier, makes her more calm and collected and increases her quality of life overall. Stacy shares that she's realized mental health is just as important as physical health. (27:45) Major takeaways New Years is a time of renewals and fresh starts! It's a time to set goals that are manageable and have greater context because that's where the motivation comes from. New Years is a socially acceptable time to make changes in your life. People tend to be more understanding and supportive of your choices to live healthier.

In this week's episode, Stacy takes the reigns as resident science nerd, unmasking the dark side of conventional cleaning products, the disturbing ways they impact your health, and how you can easily transition your home to use non-toxic cleaning supples. Click here to listen in iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 331: Safer Cleaning Products (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Stacy is taking the reigns on today's show! She recently researched and wrote an extensive blog post, 7 Safer Cleaning Swaps, and is going to share what she found out. Stacy's husband, Matt, is a clean freak and was obsessed with Clorox Wipes until she showed him the research. Swapping out your cleaning products can be an overwhelming task, but Stacy and Sarah are here to help you ease into what works for you. A huge thanks to our show sponsor, Branch Basics. Stacy has fallen in love with their safer cleaning products! Their "Starter Kit + Oxygen Boost" makes it so easy to clean up your cleaning products! Once you receive the non-toxic concentrate and cleaning bottles, you simply add specific amounts of concentrate and water to each bottle to create multiple cleaning formulas! The Environmental Works Group recommends Branch Basics, rating their concentrate and Oxygen Boost "A" (which is the highest rating)!

(11:16) The Problem with Conventional Cleaning Products Like personal care products, cleaning products are also full of known carcinogenic and other toxic chemicals that haven't been tested. 85,000 chemicals in existence and only 200 have been tested by the EPA. The use the EWG app to scan a product barcode and find out its safety rating. Ingredients to avoid: 1,4-Dioxane 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride Alkyl Dimethyl Ethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride Borax and boric acid Didecyldimethylammonium Chloride Diethanolamine Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME) Dioctyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride Distearyldimonium Chloride DMDM Hydantoin Ethanolamine Formaldehyde Fragrance** Glutaral Monoethanolamine Citrate Quaternary ammonium compounds, or “quats,” such as benzalkonium chloride (Quaternium-15 and Quaternium-24) Bleach and ammonia (sodium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, and ammonium hydroxide) Sulfuric Acid Triethanolamine volatile organic compounds, or VOCs – include pine- and citrus-based cleaners contain a class of volatile chemicals known as terpenes which combine with ozone to form formaldehyde ** this is the one I so commonly see in products marked as “natural” or cleaner ingredients – it’s also where brands hide ingredients under the “fragrance loophole” These products emit fumes, which we then breath in and that can have a profound effect on your health. Avoid products that include "fragrance" in the ingredients list! This is where unregulated, health-harming chemicals can be hiding. We also want to be mindful of not killing our good bacteria with anti-bacterial wipes. Stacy and Matt compromised with Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes because they still kill flu bacteria, but via a plant-based method. Be weary of products scented with essential oils. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean its been studied and is safe. (25:02) Avoiding "Green Washing" Question terms like "Green," "Natural," and "Biodegradable." These terms do not mean they're non-toxic. One company found more than 95% of "green" consumer products violated at least one of the things Stacy discussed above. It could claim it's "fragrance-free" but if you look closer, another name for fragrance could be hidden in the label. Because there's no regulation for this! (27:32) Potential Health Problems A lot of these health issues are triggered from respiratory issues. Asthma Skin rashes Chemical burns Poisoning One 2010 study showed that people who used these products while pregnant had an increased risk of birth defects. Even if a product is labeled "Formaldehyde-Free," preservatives can interact with 1,4 Dioxide to create and release formaldehyde into the air. Another study showed the fumes of a highly scented laundry detergents or dryer sheets can vent out into the air, creating hazardous chemicals you then breathe. (35:53) VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) These can be in a number of different products (beyond cleaning products), but in cleaning supplies, they're known to be released from the chemicals used and contribute to chronic respiratory problems. The American Lung Association says cleaning supplies are affecting your lung health. They recommend avoiding: Aerosal spray products Air fresheners Chlorine bleach (never mix bleach with ammonia!) Detergent Dishwashing liquid Dry cleaning chemicals Rug and upholstery cleaners Furniture and floor polish Oven cleaners Pre-paleo Sarah used to have bad adult asthma and literally could not walk through the fragrance section of a department store. Things are much better now that she's doing Paleo and AIP. (42:02) Stacy's Safer Cleaning Product Recommendations Stacy says go simple where possible! Keep an eye out for B Corps (like Seventh Generation). Certified B Corps not only create safer products, but give back to the environment. Stacy also loves Branch Basics' Starter Kit, which comes with a concentration and an oxygen boost powder. Then it comes with instructions for how to mix the concentrate with water to create 6 different non-toxic cleaning products, including Stacy's favorite All-Purpose cleaner! And Stacy can attest to the fact that Branch Basics' products WORK. You don't have to sacrifice. 7 Safer Cleaning Swaps Seventh Generation Free and Clear Dish Liquid Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes Branch Basics All-Purpose Cleaner Beautycounter Hand Wash Branch Basics Laundry Detergent Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Packs Norwex Carpet Stain Cleaner with their Microfiber Variety Set Sarah notes that enzymatic cleaners are pretty cool, too. Enzymes are proteins with various activities, and cleaning-specific enzymes break apart organic material. When the enzyme eventually dries, it degrades.

In this week's episode, Sarah and Stacy go one level deeper in the connection between gut health and probiotics, this time with a focus on infants and children. What factors impact the formation of the gut microbiome? How does a vaginal birth and breastfeeding affect a baby's gut bacteria species? And how can you support a healthy gut microbiome, especially in C-section or formula fed children? Click here to listen in iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 330: Probiotics for Infants and Children (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Sarah says she is extra bubbly, but possibly not that coherent of a mood today. Who knows what will happen! Sarah has come to the realization that we never really grow up, but she's learned that her capacity to juggle everything and "just keep swimming" has increased dramatically. Stacy agrees and adds that this time of year results in a lot more stress - both good and bad - which can quickly fill our plates! This week's topic is a continuation of last week's, The Link Between Carb Intolerance and Gut Health, but focused on infants and children, particularly those that aren't breast fed or are born via C-section. (6:53) Kari's Question "Hi Sarah and Stacy,First let me say that I love your show! I've been following AIP for a couple of years now, but just discovered the podcast. I love going through the old episodes (I just switched out all my Pampers baby wipes for Water Wipes!)Anyway, I recently read this article in the NY Times on the lack of B. infantis in babies. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Is this a contributor to autoimmune issues? Is there really nothing we can do about it? I found a probiotic supplement (Evivo) - thoughts on giving this to my 1-year old? What about my 4 year old (who already has Graves and Hashimoto's)? Or even giving it to myself?? Thanks! Kari" (10:00) The development of the gut microbiome  Evidence shows there's some bacteria seeding our gut in utero. But the dominant exposure that sets our gut microbiome off on the right foot is exposure to the vaginal canal microbiome. C-Section babies get exposure to bacteria from skin to skin contact, which does not produce as much beneficial bacteria as a vaginal delivery. Stacy wants to make it abundantly clear that there is no judgement here on anyone's parenting techniques! Whether you had a vaginal delivery, C-Section, breastfeed/fed, or not, we support you! We're just sharing facts as well as suggestions for how to improve whatever situation you're in. Sarah emphasizes that our gut microbiome changes as we age and there are many opportunities for exposure to beneficial bacteria. Breast milk has a ton of bacteria including Bifidobacterium (including B. infantis - mentioned in the NY Times article), Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Clostridium. There are broad types of bacteria that encompass many different species that have important probiotic effects. Typically a formula-fed baby's gut microbiome looks quite different than one who was breastfed. It's not necessarily the probiotics, more so the sugars in breast milk that aren't in formula. Breast milk has carbohydrates that babies can't digest and instead they feed the gut microbiome. Formula hasn't been able to replicate this yet. If you're born via C-section or formula-fed, it increases risk of obesity, developing diabetes, asthma, etc. There is a correlation that if you have good bacteria in the beginning, it remains throughout your life. However, other factors such as socioeconomic factors, stress, poor sleep, etc, may be the more direct determinants of good bacteria. The mother's gut microbial composition is really key because you can only pass on the good bacteria you have in your body. (23:13) Bifidobacterium Infantis is a very key probiotic strain that has anti-inflammatory properties, is an immune modulator, vitamin producer, lactic acid producer (lowering the pH of the intestines, creating a good environment for other important species). Has been used as a supplement to treat ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease. The NY Times article Kari referenced provides new research showing babies lacking B. Infantis are more likely to develop allergies, Type I Diabetes, and more likely to be overweight. This strain is disappearing because there is a raise in C-sections and formulas, increasing use of antibiotics, and more sterile environments. This one strain seems to be really, really important for basically setting up the gut microbiome environment later in life. Study found that 9 out of 10 infants didn't have the B. Infantis bacteria in their guts. If we don't have this, should we be supplementing with it? Some companies are adding it to formula but there are questions of whether or not it's actually making it to the gut alive. Evivo, the probiotic Kari referenced, is showing evidence from several well-done studies that, adding this probiotic is well tolerated and is having a noticeably positive impact on the gut microbiomes of infants. Study: Safety and tolerability of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis EVC001 supplementation in healthy term breastfed infants: a phase I clinical trial. Study: Persistence of Supplemented Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis EVC001 in Breastfed Infants. If you're giving an infant or child with a dairy allergy a probiotic, be sure to check if it contains milk. Some babies are so sensitive that they may have a reaction even if the mother is drinking milk and then breastfeeding. You can do stool testing to see if B. Infantis is present in your child's stool before supplementing. B. Infantis can be found in some foods like sauerkraut and yogurt. You can usually find the strains of bacteria used in the starter culture on the label. Other types of exposure include playing in the dirt and babies putting everything in their mouths! These expose babies to environmental challenges to help educate their immune system. If you are taking a probiotic of the wrong species, there's the potential to inhibit the growth of some good guys you might want. Ultimately we want to feed our gut bacteria through our diet and lifestyle and also expose ourselves to as much variety as possible through probiotic foods and environments. 60% of our gut bacteria comes from diet. Back to Kari - Sarah says she can definitely try Evivo for her kids, but she can probably replicate that in a lot of ways by seeking out wild ferments or eating fermented foods that contain B. Infantis. (46:30) Knowing what she knows now, what would Sarah do? Stacy says that realistically, she was so busy doing so many other things for her kids' health (cloth diapers, breast feeding, co-sleeping) she didn't prioritize fermenting her own foods to feed to her children or giving them a probiotic. Instead, she prioritized skin to skin contact (especially since her boys were all born by C-section). Sarah says knowing what she knows now, before having kids she would: Take a probiotic like Just Thrive, plus Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and B. Infantis. Get 15% off Just Thrive Probiotics here with code PALEOVIEW15 Eat all the vegetables, seafood, and probiotic foods. Be obsessing about all the things she could do to improve her gut microbiome. For a new baby, she would Breastfeed And if she didn't have a great gut microbiome (to pass on to her child), would supplement with Evivo. She would have prioritized probiotics over the fear of milk or soy causing an allergy. For kids 1+, she would do what she does now: Make homemade water kefir Buy good, local sauerkraut Buy kombucha Go camping, hiking, and visit lots of different environments like farms. Stacy asks, if you have a C-section and you're unable to breastfeed, what would you do? Sarah says she would've given her baby a B. Infantis probiotic like Evivo. Once they could eat solid foods, she'd start feeding them fermented foods. Sarah recommends having a conversation with your pediatrician about giving your baby a probiotic supplement. If you think there's a chance your baby will develop an allergy to the dairy proteins in the probiotic, definitely keep your pediatrician in the loop! Signs of an allergy in infants: mucus or blood in the stools or colic. If you don't jive with your doctor, find a new one that's more in line with your values.

In this week's episode, Sarah and Stacy are addressing a reader question by diving into the connection between carb intolerance and gut health. What exactly is gut dysbiosis? What are most important foods for your gut microbiome health? Why are some bacteria species necessary for carb digestion? And what are the best types of probiotics to support a healthy gut?! Click here to listen in iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 329: The Link Between Carb Intolerance & Gut Health (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Even though Sarah has a PhD, she sometimes has trouble using a coffee maker. Stacy's coffee maker, to be specific! It's challenging (3:45) Thanks to our podcast sponsor Just Thrive Probiotic, Sarah's recommended brand! Just Thrive Probiotic is giving our amazing listeners 15% off with code PALEOVIEW15 at thriveprobiotic.com/thepaleoview! Just Thrive probiotic is made from soil-based organisms which are very unique. They're from the genus, Bacillus, which is very resilient and capable of surviving in a wide variety of environments. As our lives are getting more hygienic from being inside and rarely playing in the dirt, so we're getting fewer and fewer of these important bacteria. These are spore-forming bacteria which makes them very resistant to stomach acid. You can actually cook with this probiotic because it's resilient up to 400+ degrees. Normal bifidobacteria and lactobacillus don't usually take up resident in your gut. Just Thrive's Bacillus probiotic, however, survives and populates your gut! Sarah is impressed by Just Thrive because they do their research and they really care about getting it right. Stacy notes that it can be hard to notice a difference when you start taking a probiotic. She personally notices a reduction in her sugar cravings when she uses Just Thrive. Just Thrive is dairy-free. Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement. (16:30) Listener question TeeDee says:"Be glad if you're still able to tolerate fruits, vegetables and anything that is fermented, cultured, aged, etc. I was going along quite well on paleo, then low carb, until I started to get a serious reaction to various foods. I had eliminated gluten a couple years ago when I found out it can be bad for people who've had their gall bladder removed (I had mine out at 19 yrs and am now 61) or who have issues with ibs or skin problems (rashes, hives, psoriasis). Cutting it out helped a lot, then I started breaking out on my face when I would eat any dairy, including aged cheddar, butter, etc. My face would start burning up and develop inflamed pustules all over, so I gave up all dairy, too. I needed to lose weight, so I adopted a ketogenic diet very low in carbs, and that helped with certain digestive issues (for the most part, but not all the way); it also cleared up my psoriasis, improved my mood a bit (I've had periods of severe major depressive disorder since my late teens and panic disorder so bad I couldn't step out my front door for years without my bowels emptying within seconds) and it allowed me to lose a good amount of weight when I kept fat intake on the lower/moderate side instead of high fat.Recently, however, the eruptions on my face were coming after eating small amounts of veg like several slices of cucumber, perhaps 2 or 3 cherry tomatoes with olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a salad. Even fruit or a pickle would cause it and I was at my wits end trying to figure out what had caused which outbreak. Finally, even spices on a piece of chicken such as granulated garlic or cayenne pepper could no longer be tolerated and I just wanted to cry as it seemed anything I ate triggered an outbreak. Something as simple as mineral water with 'natural flavors' like mango, etc. would cause it...chamomile tea, etc. etc. All had to be eliminated.Now, for the past 3 weeks, I can't eat anything but meat, chicken, fish and water. No coffee, no teas of any kind, just water to drink. I haven't tested all fish, but wild salmon is ok so far and I haven't tested seafood yet (I think I'm still getting over the shock of what has progressed and don't want another bad outbreak). I feel fine now, thankfully. I haven't had an outbreak in the past 3 weeks and my digestion feels very good and mood is now much better, but I'm still a bit stunned to find myself in this position. So, as I said, if you can tolerate certain foods in your diet, be grateful and have the utmost respect for your health at all times. Keep at it and don't let anyone pull you off track with junk foods, drinks, etc. just be happy to be healthy because it's all we've got. Life is too short to mess with out health. All the best!" Stacy's and Sarah's hearts go out to TeeDee. (23:06) Gut Dysbiosis Ketogenic diets don't provide enough fat to support a healthy gut microbiome. Sarah notes that when she and Stacy started their health journeys wanting to lose weight and get skinny, but their priorities have shifted to being healthy. As Sarah is writing her microbiome books, she's discovering that eating vegetables for the fiber is of utmost importance. Sarah says it's possible that what TeeDee is describing is an autoimmune condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. When people only feel good eating meat and water, it's usually tied to gut dysbiosis. Researchers have tied the gut microbiome to just about every skin condition. This connection is the Gut-Skin axis. A variety of studies have changed gut microbiome composition via antibiotics, probiotics, or probiotics, and that has cured the skin condition. Like "leaky gut," "leaky skin" is a thing. Your skin requires certain nutrients to be healthy like Vitamin A, D, Zinc, etc. (31:51) Quick summary of the most important things for gut microbiome health: A variety of vegetables Nuts and seeds Fish Don't eat too much fat, especially saturated fat Mono-unsaturated fats and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are good The microbiome responds to the hormone environment (stress = gut dysbiosis). Our gut microbiome needs us to eat Vitamin A, D, E, K1, and all the minerals because they can't make them. Adequate protein Active lifestyle Sleep Exposure to a variety of new bacteria species (35:50) Why Bascillus-Based Probiotics If you experience complete carbohydrate intolerance (like TeeDee), what do you do? Bacteria helps us process carbs. When you're missing this type of bacteria, your body can't break carbs down, which can lead to a strange metabolism. One recommendation is to reintroduce these carb-processing bacteria back to your gut. One such bacteria, is Bascillus, a keystone species that holds everything together (like a keystone in an arch). Bascillus produces up to 800 antibiotics. Some of them will kill pathogenic bacteria, other will kill other specific bacteria. They control the growth of many bacteria strains. Bascillus ferments carbs and protein and turns those into food that other bacteria in the gut microbiome can eat. Bascillus subtilis completely drives the restoration of microbial diversity after infection and stabilizes the microbiome. There are 7 or 8 species of Bascillus that have been very well studied and have probiotic benefits. Just Thrive Probiotics contains 4 of these. Benefits of the Bascillus species in Just Thrive Probiotics: Bacillus subtilis HU58 Bacillus indicus HU36 Bacillus coagulans Bacillus clausii One study showed that using a probiotic containing the strains found in Just Thrive Probiotics for just 30 days helped to heal leaky gut. (58:17) What this all means for TeeDee First, talk to your doctor. A potential protocol could look like: Take Just Thrive Probiotics Start to reintroduce fruits and vegetables to your diet via smoothies and soups (the fiber is partially broke down so they're easier for your gut bacteria to ferment). Gradually increase exposure to vegetables, keeping intake below the level of problematic GI symptoms. A little gas is normal - it's a sign of fermentation. Increase exposure to beneficial strains of Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus by eating raw fermented vegetables like sauerkraut. If your symptoms sound like the autoimmune condition try the Autoimmune Protocol. Switch to more seafood, olive oil, not too high fat. Test Vitamin D levels Stay hydrated (steer clear of alkaline water - our gut bacteria don't like it) Get good sleep Be active but don't over do it You may need to do stool testing (parasites, candida, severe dysbiosis, other infections like H. pylori) and/or SIBO testing to hone in on other possible culprits that won’t be fixed with probiotics, vegetables and seafood. If something turns up positive here, work with your doctor on antimicrobial protocols. Probiotics and a microbiome-supporting diet will still help, but need to be layered on top of other treatments. Stacy reminds you to always listen to your body and check in on what's going on. Pay attention to your stools. It's possible TeeDee isn't producing much stomach acid because her body doesn't need a lot of it to break vegetables down. Get your questions in! We want to hear from you!
