Summary

The pro-metabolic approach to wellness has been gaining popularity lately, but it is rooted in ancient ways of eating and supporting the body.  The more I have learned about it, the more I have realized that I have actually been following many of the pro-metabolic principles for a long time.  This way of life goes hand in hand with the from-scratch homestead kitchen.  Though I have already been implementing many metabolically supportive practices in my life, I still learned so much from this conversation.  I walked away with new ideas to try and areas of my health to reexamine.  Whether you are new to the pro-metabolic conversation or have been embracing this approach for many years, join us for this rich conversation about supporting our health in a truly sustainable way.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The individual health journeys that led both Fallon and Kori to a pro-metabolic approach to wellness
  • Breaking down what it means to eat in a pro-metabolic way
  • Aiding your body’s production of youthful hormones in order to resist stress
  • Going beyond a black and white list of rules around food and learning what supports your individual metabolism
  • Prioritizing connection to your body and food over checking off a list of dietary achievements
  • Why it is important to take in a variety of sources and opinions as you are learning about health
  • How many calories women actually need and how to slowly increase your calorie intake
  • Why it is necessary for mothers especially to nourish themselves well
  • Pushing back against the diet culture dogma and truly taking pleasure in food
  • Examining popular claims that dairy and gluten are inherently bad for the body
  • Questions to consider about the quality, sourcing, and preparation of your food
  • The power of your mind to convince your body that certain foods are harmful
  • Physical and mental considerations when reintroducing certain foods back into your diet
  • Some of the possible underlying factors behind food restriction or intolerance
  • Debunking the claims about the benefits of intermittent fasting
  • What metabolic markers to look for when assessing your own health
  • Why the metabolism is the cornerstone of overall health
  • Where to start if you want to heal your metabolism

Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast today. I am having on Corey and Fallen from the freely rooted podcast. If you aren't familiar, this is a must listen. We actually talk way too long.

0:14.0

So I hope that in the next couple of days, maybe I'm sure a lot of you can't listen to this all at one time, but maybe while you're holding laundry or doing dishes or making dinner or whatever else you are doing, maybe running the kids somewhere.

0:26.0

You can listen to this conversation because it was so inspirational. I actually am recording this intro after already recording the interview with them, and I am so inspired to take a lot of what they say and actually implemented.

0:43.0

I've been learning about it for a long time, felt pretty convinced, but they at the end of this episode, I think it's more towards like the last fourth or quarter of the episode.

0:53.0

So go into why you should care. Why is not health just more than being thin and having energy. Why are there so many more markers and why they matter really open my eyes to this topic.

1:07.0

So without further ado, join me for this interview with Corey and Fallen.

1:12.0

My name is Lisa, mother of seven and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.

1:25.0

Well, thank you all so much for joining me. I refer to you as the pro metabolic girls. This has become a topic of conversation between me and my sister, me and my mom, my husband.

1:41.0

And also which this is jokingly call you the sugar girls, but that we'll get more into that later.

1:49.0

Thanks for having us Lisa. It's great to be able to join me on your podcast this time.

1:54.0

Yeah, I'm so yeah, I was telling everyone that I was on theirs. And so yes, I'm so excited to have you both on talk about pro metabolic stuff. This is something that I've been really interested in lately.

2:04.0

Even though I feel like how I've been eating over the last, you know, long time has been pro metabolic essentially except for a few things. And so it's interesting that there's a name for it.

2:15.0

And you know, it's basically I'm excited to introduce this to my audience. So let's start with introductions. Tell us about you both your Instagrams, your course credentials, meal plans, whatever else you want to share.

2:29.0

Yeah, I mean, where do I start? My name is Fallon. I am on Instagram is Fallon today. My business is called balance table. And so primarily what I do kind of in the Instagram space is I am primarily a recipe developer. That's what I most like to call myself honestly when people ask me what I do.

2:47.0

I feel like that's kind of my major reaction. I do have meal plans that are kind of my like digital baby. And I love those so much. It takes, you know, recipes that I developed and pairs it with different calorie range breakdowns.

3:00.0

You know, especially for women who are kind of just getting started on trying to heal their bodies eat enough, you know, see what an actually balanced day looks like. That was kind of my like brain child for my business. That's kind of what got me started.

3:12.0

I remember messaging Korean being like, I'm going to do meal plans. Like this is it. And so that was kind of the first thing that sort of got me in the like Instagram arena as somebody who was actually like doing something.

3:24.0

You know, I was on Instagram before is like a almost like a wannabe influencer. I was always sharing something that I was learning. But, you know, kind of into a void of like, I don't know, not even a thousand people.

3:35.0

So I dove into the meal plans and last December I also launched a cookbook. It's called batch. And so it's focused on, you know, like bulk recipes that you can make in advance and all of them are nourishing and comforting and warming. It's actually perfect for this time of year. I made it in the fall. And so it's very much like soups and stews and like casseroles and like really warming things.

3:56.0

So the recipes are definitely what I like to cling to the most. I do have like a whole foods sort of pro metabolic. If you will, which like we'll dive into that more a little bit, you know, as we talk about like, what is it and why is it called this and what does it mean.

4:09.0

But my main philosophy is like whole foods and sexual eating, you know, things that are nourishing and warming and of course delicious. There's no point in like eating bland.

4:19.0

You know, awful food, like I think food should be enjoyed and it should be beautiful and vibrant. So that's kind of my M O is like creating food that people enjoy, you know, that your kids enjoy that your family enjoys.
