Summary
Autumn Smith is a nutrition expert and co-founder of Paleovalley who completely transformed her health after years of IBS, chronic pain, anxiety, and burnout. While touring with J.Lo and training with Tracy Anderson—working out up to six hours a day—her body hit a breaking point. In just 30 days, she rebuilt her energy, reduced inflammation, and changed the way she approaches food.
In this episode, we break down the exact shifts that made the biggest difference—and what actually matters when it comes to feeling good, having stable energy, and supporting your body through nutrition.
We cover:
• The exact dietary staples that changed everything in 30 days
• How anxiety, inflammation, and food choices are connected
• How to tell the difference between real hunger vs. boredom eating
• Why digestion suffers when you’re distracted while eating
• Intermittent fasting and its impact on hormones
• Protein quality: powders vs. whole foods, and why amino acids matter
• Why glycine is essential for inflammation, recovery, and skin
• Collagen, organ meats, and key nutrients most people are missing
• Signs of iron deficiency and what to look for
• What to look for on labels when buying meat
• The importance of your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio
• The truth about seed oils—and what actually matters
• Citric acid, fermented foods, and hidden dietary disruptors
If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still dealing with low energy, inflammation, or food confusion—this episode will simplify what actually works.
