On this week's episode of the pod, Jess is joined by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne for an unfiltered heart-to-heart discussion. You may have heard Sarah's name mentioned on a previous episode of the pod-- being criticized for her association with the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet. Yes, Sarah was previously known as the Paleo mom but has shed that title and done a complete 180 to right past wrongs and correct previous misinformation that she unknowingly spread. No topic was off limits during this raw conversation. She talks about what prompted the change and how it was received by her audience. She shares about her new approach to nutrition and the two do a deep dive on Nutrivore and how "scoring systems" can be problematic when it comes to diets. Sarah uses the time to clear up misconceptions and share an honest update with listeners. This episode is like none other and is not to be missed!
