Summary

It would be wonderful if one diet worked for everyone, and it could be handed out like a prescription in doctor's offices worldwide. Unfortunately, human beings are more complex than that. This is one of the messages of Robb Wolf's new book, Wired to Eat. In this podcast, we talk about our own health journeys, the 7 Day Carb Test that's taking social media by storm (and how to adapt it for the AIP). We also talk about why it's hard to change, letting go of shame, and strategies for prioritizing health in our modern world.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo
0:05.8	diet and lifestyle. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day
0:11.4	can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my
0:18.8	rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
0:24.7	pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor
0:30.8	nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your
0:35.4	health care team before making medical decisions. Now let's get on to the show.
1:08.0	Welcome to episode 68. The topic today is personalizing our diet. My guest is Rob Wolf, a man who needs no introduction in the paleo community, but today I think you'll learn some things about him that you didn't know before.
1:11.7	Rob is a former research biochemist and one of the world's leading experts in Paleolithic nutrition. He began his paleo journey back in the 1990s when
1:17.3	very few people had heard of it with profound results. At a time when doctors were recommending
1:22.8	he have bowel resection surgery, he successfully reversed his ulcerative colitis. That was a major fork in the road
1:29.8	that led to him becoming a leader of the paleo movement. In 2010, he published the New York Times bestseller,
1:35.9	The Paleo Solution, and recently published a brand new book called Wired to Eat. Rob is one of my favorite
1:42.5	people, whom I hope to meet one day in real life. He's humble,
1:46.4	he's funny, and he walks that perfect line between empathy and tough love when it comes to
1:51.1	coaching us toward optimal health. Welcome to the show, Rob. Well, thank you. And I said the last
1:57.1	time that I was on, that was probably the best interview I've ever had, and this is
2:01.4	definitely the best introduction I've ever had. So thank you. You're just going to give me the big
2:05.9	head. I'm very flattered. Thank you. So before we dive into today's conversation, I want to
2:12.8	apologize to our listeners. This podcast was actually supposed to air last week. And for the first time in the
2:19.2	history of this podcast, I had to delay one week because there was a website crisis. Basically,
2:25.3	it looked for a short while like I may have lost two years of information due to troubles on
