Check out our sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 13:00- How do you find food freedom with the mindset of losing weight 20:00- The process of self love and acceptance 32:30 - How to be more relaxed and less uptight 41:00 - What to do after binge eating Don’t forget to join our Straight Up Paleo Pals Facebook Group to chat and ask questions!Send in questions at StraightUpPaleo.com, our email straightuppaleo@gmail.com, or our Facebook page! Also please rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Check out our sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 33:40: How to prepare for a radical change in diet when moving to a place with little access to good food 47:40 - What is inflammation weight vs muscle, fat, and other weight? 1:00:00 - How do you know if you are exercising too much?

Check out our sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 31:20 - Leptin resistance relationship to low carb diets and long term affects of a Keto diet Read "When Not to be on a Ketogenic Diet" 38:00 - When you go low carb for too long 41:30 - Recommendations for food sensitivity tests 42:25 - MRT Food Sensitivity and Cyrex Labs 46:00 - How often should you retest food sensitivities? 49:40 - Thoughts on The Womencode and Digestive Enzymes Don’t forget to join our Straight Up Paleo Pals Facebook Group to chat and ask questions!Send in questions at StraightUpPaleo.com, our email straightuppaleo@gmail.com, or our Facebook page! Also please rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Topics: 7:30 - Check out our latest sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code "SUPSLEEP" for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It's easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic--we've done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won't experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing 'mouth' snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use "SUPSLEEP" for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 14:30 -Sign up for Christina’s The Paleo Women Program!

This week's podcast is sponsored by Somnifix! Somnifix is a mouth strip that optimizes breathing patterns and reduces snores by directing airflow through the nose. Somnifix ensures that you breathe through your nose during the night, which allows you to sleep much more soundly all night long and can eliminate needing to wake up, snoring, drooling, restless nights, and more.

In this episode, Elle shares her inspiring journey of trying to find answers for her declining health over the years. Elle talks about the start of her health journey, why she initially chose to get breast implants years ago, and how she started to have mysterious symptoms. She shares her experience in the medical system with doctors disregarding her frustrations, how she learned to fight for her own health and stand up to doctors, and how she had to do much of her own research to eventually be able to heal herself. Elle also shares how she discovered she had Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease, and her eventual discovery that Breast Implant Illness was at the root of her chronic health issues. Elle talks about how a ketogenic diet and burning fat for fuel reduced her inflammation so that she could start healing, and what the process has been like since getting her breast implants removed. She shares exactly how she has been able to put her Hashimoto's into remission, and the importance of addressing all lifestyle factors when it comes to health. We also discuss the importance of nutrient density, adjusting your diet for your body, and more. For more from Ellenie, you can find her on Instagram (@the_lchf_lifestyle) and on her YouTube channel, The Low Carb High Fat Lifestyle.

Caroline is an 18-year-old high school student in L.A, headed off to college on the East Coast very soon! She regularly creates a ton of delicious, healthy recipes and shares them on her website to help make healthy eating, and living, approachable for everyone. In this episode, we chat about the social media platforms that high school students use most regularly and how it affects their lives. Caroline shares how she finds the balance between being in high school, working on her blog, spending time with family and friends, and keeping up with all of her other extracurricular activities. She also talks about what it's like applying to college and how she's feeling now that applications are over. We discuss what high school girls consider to be "healthy," why people feel the need to label the way they eat, and what true health actually is. We talk about the difficulty of sorting through all of the confusing health information out there and what Caroline's approach to healthy eating is. We also talk about the differences between Instagram and real life, the normalization of disordered eating in our society, and the trends girls in high school are following. We talk about the difference between testing the boundaries as a teen and being too extreme, the responsibility of influencers to be honest with their audience, and what older generations of women can do to help younger generations.

Things were so bad that she could only stomach 4 ingredients for 6 months! Though she's still working through some problems, it was keto that absolutely saved her life! Now as co-founder and president of Impact Theory, her mission is to create impact in the world and empower women of all ages to see and believe that they can be anything they set their minds to. In this episode, Lisa shares how Quest Nutrition got started and the trial and error that eventually led to the success of a billion dollar company. She gives advice on how to know when to give up on something and how to know when to keep pushing through. Lisa shares her top tips for going into business with a significant other, friend, or family member, and the importance of agreeing on roles and setting boundaries. Lisa also talks about her health journey with severe gut issues, how she eventually found out she had SIBO, and how a ketogenic diet allowed her to begin healing. We talk about how to balance health struggles with pursuing your passions, how it can impact our relationships, and how it can change your relationship with your body. We talk about having to choose between health and aesthetics, her experience with elimination diets, and much more! For more from Lisa, follow her on Instagram (@lisabilyeu).

Then she discusses recent drama in the YouTube world and how the beauty industry on YouTube seems like it's crumbling. If you'd like to watch the video from Marlena of Makeup Geek that Christina talks about in this episode, head here. Christina shares more of her thoughts about the influencer world on YouTube and Instagram, working with brands, sponsored posts and videos, and more. She also discusses the dangers of hiring business coaches from Instagram and how followers don't always mean much when it comes to actual value. Lastly, she discusses the truth behind the lives of many "successful" people in media and how most people have no idea what they're doing when it comes to business or life in general. No shame!

This week I'm chatting with Scott Linde, founder of Sun Potion Transformational Foods. At a young age Scott became fascinated with plant medicines and experienced huge changes in his health after incorporating herbs and tonics into his life, so he decided to create Sun Potion to share them with the world. Sun Potion is a company dedicated to sharing the use of medicinal plants, superfoods, and tonic herbs with others, only sourcing organic and wildcrafted products that have never been chemically treated. In this episode, Scott shares more about what led him to create Sun Potion and what it's like running a business behind the scenes. He discusses the importance of feeling connected with nature throughout his life as well as the problems with modern culture that is disconnected from nature and filled with toxins. Scott shares the story of how he first got into tonic herbs and was on the search for the perfect mucuna puriens. He talks all about how to use different potions, herbs, and adaptogens, how often to take them, and the best ones to start with. Scott also gives tips for what to try if you're getting off of coffee as well as the best herbs for hormones, energy, sleep, and other health concerns. We also discuss sourcing of ingredients, if "organic" really matters, how we feel about stevia, and much more! You can find out more about Sun Potion and check out their full range of products by going to www.sunpotion.com. Today's episode is sponsored by Barukas!

This week I'm chatting with Dr. Michael Ruscio, functional medicine doctor, gut health expert, and the author of Healthy Gut, Healthy You. In this episode, Dr. Ruscio shares his personal story of how he became interested in gut health and functional medicine. He talks about why it's so important to start with the gut when addressing health concerns, the dangers of strict dietary protocols, and how to mitigate the effects of antibiotics.

This week I'm chatting with Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist whose focus is the human microbiome and wellness. Kiran's expertise is in gut commensal spore bacteria, the newest frontier in microbiology. Over the last seventeen years Kiran has conducted dozens of human clinical trials in human nutrition through the Clinical Research Organization he established. In addition to his recently published, ground-breaking leaky gut study showing reversal of gut enteropathy within thirty days, Kiran is currently involved in nine other ongoing human clinical trials testing the effect of gut commensal spore probiotics on such conditions as AIDS/HIV, gut enteropathy, Thyroid/Hashimoto’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and liver failure, as well as a longer, more extensive leaky gut trial. In this episode, Kiran talks all about the importance of probiotics and what they can do for your overall health. He talks about how the gut is related to a wide variety of chronic health issues, and how the change in our food system has affected our gut health. We discuss the difference between the foods we evolved with and foods in our system now, as well as how our ancestors got probiotics in their diets. Kiran gives his top tips for protecting gut health. Kiran tells the truth about the efficacy of most probiotics on the market and how many don't survive through our stomach acid. He explains exactly what you should be looking for when it comes to probiotics, including how many strains to look for and the benefits of soil-based organisms. He also sheds light on why sometimes dead bacteria can be helpful, what the deal is with LPS (lipopolysaccharides), and more truths about the probiotic industry.   Don't forget to head to Christina's Instagram page (@christinaricewellness) to enter the Just Thrive Probiotic giveaway!

He talks about what it's like meeting with leaders in other areas of the world, and some of the practices that Americans should pick up from other cultures.
