The Whole View, Episode 465: Too Many Food Restrictions?
Welcome back to episode 465! (0:28)
Stacy opens the show with a cryptic message to listeners not to sleep on next week's show because some big news is coming for the Whole View.
Thank you for tuning in each week, leaving reviews, asking questions, and engaging with Stacy and Sarah all these years. Without you, this show would not happen!
This is not a sponsored episode. However, Sandra at ShopAIP created a coupon code just for Whole View listeners. Just use the code "thewholeview" at checkout to receive 15% off your purchase!
Sarah and Stacy's personal health journeys have led them to a place now where they have a lot of flexibility and a solid understanding of what a sub-optimal choice may have on their bodies.
But, it's very easy to forget just how overwhelming the process can be when you're just starting.
This episode was inspired by a listener question:
I'm very grateful to have found your book "The Paleo Approach" at my local library. I have since purchased copies of it and the cookbook for myself and family members because of the vital information in it.
My question is: Having lupus and hypothyroidism causes me to steer clear of various foods and herbs, (nightshades and echinacea) and being gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free I am staying away from other groups of foods and dishes.
How can I reach optimal health benefits and nutrients having to avoid so many things that are supposedly "good for you"? - Sandy
Beyond Elimination Mindset
Sarah thinks there's a few things worth talking about under the banner of "mindset." (12:25)
First is the mindset when we are approaching eliminations, especially when first adopting AIP or any diet protocol that involves eliminations.
It's worth mentioning that Sarah incorporates a lot of these mindset-type discussions and self-reflection exercises in her AIP Lecture Series. Registration for the next session, Sept 13, just opened up. Early bird pricing goes until the end of July!
Just eliminating wheat, soy, corn, and dairy eliminates most SAD staples.
The same few ingredients make up so many different foods, so it feels like more variety, but it isn't.
This is what Sarah calls the "learning curve," which she likens to when you first move out of your parent's home. You have to learn how to shop and cook meals on a budget. You're doing the same there here, just with different foods.
Part of the learning curve is re-learning what a healthy diet looks like.
Many foods promoted as "good for you" aren't. Sarah's journey in understanding that came first from founding the AIP, diving into gut microbiome research, and from all the foundational content she's creating for Nutrivore.
It's crazy how many foods (like whole grains and dairy) are promoted as "the basis of a healthy diet" have very little valuable nutrition. Not to mention, they're even problematic for large swaths of Americans.
Too Many Food Restrictions: Recipes and Cookbooks
A great avenue to explore is finding new recipes that replicate old favorites or find new favorites entirely.
Sarah recommends investing in a cookbook or two. Don't forget about e-books options, like Sarah's Autoimmune Protocol e-book.
Here's a list of other recommended cookbooks:
The Paleo Approach Cookbook by Sarah Ballantyne, PhD
The Healing Kitchen by Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D. and Alaena Haber, OTC
About half of the recipes in Paleo Principles are AIP and are labeled
The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook by Mickey Trescott, NTP
Alternative Autoimmune Cookbook by Angie Alt, NTC
Nourish by Rachael Bryant
The Autoimmune Protocol Comfort Food Cookbook by Michelle Hoover
The Autoimmune Protocol Meal Prep Cookbook by Sophie Van Tiggelen
Simple French Paleo by Sophie Van Tiggelen
He Won't Know It's Paleo by Bre'anna Emmitt
Autoimmune Protocol Made Simple Cookbook by Sophie Van Tiggelen
The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen by Mickey Trescott, NTP
