21:58 - Welcome Jonathan Bailor!

You can find him at caloriemythbook.com, through his book The Calorie Myth, and on his podcast here

Jonathan grew up in an academic household and was geeky, nerdy and skinny - he wanted to be like his big brother who was athletic in both his abilities and build

He got into training and eventually began training other people, most of his clients were females who were all trying to lose weight - and he instructed them to eat less and workout more

Despite his intentions, none of his clients were reaching their goals and this inspired him to delve into his work from an academic mind and to research the cause for the results...or lack of

Jonathan shared a bit on set-point and what his definition is for this concept - it essentially acknowledges that the body is an adaptive dynamic system and to gain sustainable health you need to heal your system not starve it

The calorie math argument was discussed

There is a huge disconnect for many people on how to properly nourish and fuel your body

You heal your body through food quality, not food quantity

Sarah greatly appreciates how Jonathan's book brings the concept of nutrient density and practical choices to a new community

Sarah, Stacy and Jonathan chatted about bone broth consumption and the benefits

#soupwithstacy, tips from the Bone Broth lady herself

broth is done when the bones are soft

put a little bit of acid and anything you want to flavor the broth with in the pot

for timing, cook 12-24 hours in a pressure cooker, 24-48 in a slow cooker, and for the stovetop the timing will be somewhere in between the pressure cooker and slow cooker timing

Sarah does 48 hours on the stovetop
