  • The myth behind the Paleo diet being a "cure all"
  • Questions & Answers (17:32)
  • Leah - when I eat fermented foods, I get the feeling I am developing a yeast infection. Any suggestions?
  • Stacy thinks there might be an imbalance in the gut, and recommends looking into a diet to reset the bacteria in the gut
  • Sarah notes that studies show that probiotics can help fight candida 
  • Candida likes high estrogen, high blood sugar, and high stress environments
  • The strains in fermented foods are known to help control candida growth
  • Facts about vaginitis (also known as a yeast infection)
  • Candida causes yeast infections about half of the time
  • Other culprits are bacterial infections, irritants, and allergies
  • So a yeast infection could also be caused by a food allergy
  • Sarah recommends getting tested for yeast sensitivities/allergies - these are common food sensitivities 
  • There are a number of yeast free diets that you can utilize 
  • Vaginitis can also be linked to STD's, so it is worth getting tested 
  • Stacy notes that menstruation products (or even condoms) can also cause irritations that are seen in the form of vaginitis 
  • Be aware of what is your "normal" for symptoms that you experience around your monthly cycle, when consuming foods you are sensitive too, etc. 
  • Jennie - why do I poop more, and experience gas, during my period? 
  • Period poops are a real thing - the Buzzfeed article Stacy refers to 
  • The situation is impacted by two things 
  • First, you are probably eating less healthy food than you usually do as you are dealing with hormonal influenced cravings
  • And second, the hormone progesterone peeks during your period, which actually has an effect on how things move through your intestines 
  • The high shift between progesterone and estrogen turning back on greatly impacts your bowels 
  • The role prostaglandins play
  • Major props to Buzzfeed!
  • A special thank you to Stacy for her willingness to talk about poop!
  • And a thank you to the listeners - don't forget to leave those reviews here please! 
  • Stacy wished Sarah happy travels for her spring break vacation with her family
  • Outro (44:28)
