#942: Join us as we sit down with Dr. Autumn Smith – co-founder of Paleovalley & Wild Pastures. Paleovalley was born out of necessity after Dr. Autumn Smith endured over a decade of severe digestive issues that no expert could resolve. Alongside her husband Chas, she discovered the transformative power of an ancestral diet, which not only healed her IBS but launched her career in holistic nutrition. In this episode, Autumn breaks down the importance of high-quality meat, what you need to know about processed meats & misleading labels, the truth about organ meats, & what to actually look for when shopping for meat.
