(0:00) IntroSarah LOVES to keep track of our episodes by simply adding a “1” to the last episode number! How awesome is that?!?A big thank you to all our listeners last week, thank you for hanging in there with me and being supportive because I know I went a little deepNot sure why sharing personal information gives such a fear of judgementRealizing people’s opinion of you doesn’t matterAre you happy with the choices in your life?Super excited for our upcoming trip when the kids are out of schoolBeen finding some really eco-friendly and sustainable RV’s!Will keep you update to date on all the fun things we are doing while on the road!THE PODCASTS WILL STILL CONTINUE WEEKLY!Excited to move forward with new freedom in the fallWe’ve developed a really interesting relationship with our listeners and followers who have been with us for years but at the same time we are regular people who have regular livesSame challenges of rushing from one place to another, trying to find work-life balanceIt’s unusual for us to still share our vulnerability and window into our real lives and it is scary when the internet can be a hostile placeBut we love our listeners and readers who come back week after week and make being real a priorityReally brave for Stacy to show her vulnerabilities and it helps our readers and listeners become part of our community rather than our “fans” or “tribe”We want to inspire and be inspired by those that are sharing and overcoming in their daily livesLast week was reminder that we still struggle with the idea of being accepted and not judged but worked through it and it’s all good!(9:30) Special Show Sponsor Thrive ProbioticSarah uses and loves Thrive Probiotics!https://thriveprobiotic.com/thepaleoview

I now take a probiotic and eat fermented foods when I can but my gut is still not good. I can feel it, smell it and see it in my bowels. They are mushy and not formed (sorry for the tmi!) what can I do to heal my gut? I'm not sure simply adopting the paleo approach will heal me...?We know that digestion/gut health shows when you go to the bathroom. Shout out to Teressa for recognizing that something is a little offCheck out Bristol Tool Form Scale in Paleo Principle and The Paleo ApproachThis is important because while you may think you are healthy you may still have all kinds of nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalancesTaking a probiotic and eating fermented foods is a great place to start!If you have an overgrowth of bad bacteria from years of not so great food choices, probiotics and fermented food will have a hard time fighting the bad bacteria on its ownImportant to understand core of the problem and what you are trying to solveUltimately you have to give your gut bacteria the food it needs to feed healthy bacteria and starve the bad onesUnfortunately, bad bacteria like delicious and refined foodsYou have to figure out how to still eat the foods you love that doesn’t contribute to upset tummyTeressa YOU GOT THIS!!!Nothing bad can come from these changes of eating more veggies (20:24) Sarah Shares Some Science Behind It All60% of composition of gut bacteria is determined my food we eatRemaining 40% determined by everything else!SleepStress ManagementActivityProbiotic exposureMedications/Vitamin DToxin/Pesticide exposureTaking a probiotic alone helps but what we eat has a larger impact to correct and balance gut bacteriaAutoimmue Protocol is designed for those treating severe chronic autoimmue diseaseStarts ridged and then becomes flexible because it’s designed to maximize healing(23:53) Paleo Community DogmaYou don’t need to go to the super ridged models to treat issues like Teressa’s and everybody else eating a Western DietIf you ate a big of rice you didn’t fall off the wagon!We need to stop the rule based way of approaching diet when it comes to healthy habitsDo some reading, understand the why and understand the themesNutrient Density: Eating nutrient dense foods and getting all not needing to supplement because we get them from foods.
