Summary

This episode of the Phoenix Helix podcast delves into healing lifestyle choices. We talk a lot about diet in this community, but healing is about much more than food. Sarah Ballantyne, author of The Paleo Approach and leader of the AIP movement says this: "Let me be clear: Dietary changes aren't effective in isolation. If you don't address lifestyle factors as well, it won't matter how ideal your food choices are." So today, I'm interviewing four people about one lifestyle change that has made a big difference in their autoimmune healing journey. Sarah is one of them. If you haven't started addressing your lifestyle choices yet, I offer you this podcast as inspiration to start today.
