Summary

What does it mean to be a nutrient seeker? Sometimes when we're on a healing diet, we focus so much on the foods we avoid, that we forget to pay attention to the foods we're choosing to eat. While it is essential to avoid inflammatory foods, we also need to provide our bodies with the deep nutrition they need to heal. A steady diet of chicken breasts, broccoli, and paleo AIP desserts isn't going to get us there. So, which foods give us the biggest bang for our nutritional buck? What do our meals and menu look like when we are truly eating for health? That's what this podcast is all about.

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.
0:57.5	Welcome to Episode 79.
1:06.1	Our topic today is nutrient density, and our guest is a beloved leader of the AIP community and a fellow nutrivore, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.
1:11.9	Sarah is most famous for her deep research into the science behind the paleo autoimmune protocol,
1:18.5	which she shared in her book, the paleo approach, also known as the AIP Bible. One tenet of the autoimmune protocol is nutrient density, and it's something people sometimes forget.
1:23.0	We focus so much on removing foods that are inflammation triggers that we forget that the foods we
1:28.1	choose to eat are equally important. The truth is our bodies need deep nutrition to heal and a steady
1:33.8	diet of boneless chicken breasts, broccoli, and AIP desserts isn't going to get us there. So today,
1:39.6	we're going to teach how to build nutrient density into your daily diet. In addition to being a scientist,
1:45.7	Sarah has autoimmune disease herself and has used a nutrient dense, personalized AIP diet to
1:51.3	maximize her own health. I'm really excited to have her back on the show. Welcome, Sarah.
1:56.3	Thank you so much for having me back. Before we dive into our interview, I have just a few personal updates,
2:02.1	and mostly I just want to say to all of our listeners who were in the path of Hurricane Harvey
2:08.0	or Irma, you have been in my heart and in my mind, and I hope you made it through safely
2:14.0	and are recovering any damage with all the help that you need. I'm sending lots
2:19.0	of good thoughts and prayers your way. My friend Michaela from Slightly Lost Girl wrote a wonderful
