Welcome to my Bobby's Podcast!

This episode is brought to you by Paleo Valley, a company that is near and dear to my heart.

I really like all of their products, and my family especially loves their 100% grass-fed

beef sticks, which are clean, gut friendly, and protein-packed snack options.

They never last long in my house, because my kids enjoy them so much, and I love how seriously

Paleo Valley takes, creating healthy and environmentally friendly products.

Their grass-fed beef sticks are the real deal.

Their source from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cows that are never fed grains or harmful antibiotics,

and they come from small, family-owned farms, right here in the USA that practice rotational

grazing, meaning farmers literally rotate the pastures on which the cow is grazed, so

they aren't feeding on the same soil forever, depleting its nutrients.

This means that the cows are helping increase the nutrient density of the soil and put

carbon back in the soil where it belongs.

Another important difference?

Virtually every other meat snack on the market is made with a processing agent called

encapsulated citric acid or ECA.

Companies use this in order to guarantee a long shelf life for their products, but one

study from the University of Illinois at Chicago found that ECA can cause joint discomfort caused

by stiffness and swelling, muscle aches, upset stomach, and more.

Instead, Paleo Valley beef sticks use the old-world methods of fermentation, which gives the

beef sticks a long shelf life without harmful acids and chemicals, and they're also

free of ruminative vegetable oil, hormones, and MSG used in many products.
