313: We’ve been taught to fear meat, but what if the quality, source, and way it’s raised matter more than we think? In this episode with Autumn Smith from Paleo Valley, I talk about grass-fed vs. grain-fed meat, regenerative farming, the truth about processed meats and nitrates, misleading food labels, glycine, nose-to-tail eating, and why food quality and diversity matter for our health. → PaleoValley | Head to https://paleovalley.com/promos/realfoodology  for 15% off your first purchase Topics Discussed: → Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Meat → Processed Meat & Nitrates → Glycine & Bone Broth → Food Labels to Trust Sponsored By: → PaleoValley | Head to https://paleovalley.com/promos/realfoodology  for 15% off your first purchase → Wild Pastures | Head to https://wildpastures.com/promos/realfoodology for 20% off for life + a bonus $15 off your first purchase Timestamps:  → 00:00:00 - Introduction  → 00:05:40 - How Paleo Valley got started → 00:09:00 - The Benefits of Fermented Meat → 00:15:00 - Meat, Nutrition and Regenerative Farming → 00:18:34 - Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Beef → 00:24:24 - Animal Diet and Food Diversity → 00:29:04 - Grass-Fed vs. Organic vs. Regenerative Meat → 00:34:40 - Finding High-Quality Meat → 00:36:08 - Deli Meat, Nitrates and Nitrites → 00:41:08 - Vital Farms Eggs and PUFAs → 00:45:12 - Which Food Labels Can You Trust? → 00:49:06 - Country-of-Origin Labels and Imported Meat → 00:53:38 - Glycine: Benefits and Why It Matters → 00:58:00 - Glycine, Inflammation and Immune Health → 01:03:26 - Nose-to-Tail Eating and Organ Meats → 01:06:08 - Food vs. Supplements → 01:12:26 - Phyto-Melatonin and Sleep → 01:14:06 - Getting More Protein → 01:16:16 - Fermented Foods and Gut Health Check Out Dr. Autumn Smith:  → Autumn’s Instagram  → Paleo Valley Instagram  → Paleo Valley Website → Wild Pastures Instagram  → Wild Pastures Website  → Wild Pastures Burger Co Check Out Courtney:  →  LEAVE US A VOICE MESSAGE →  Check Out My new FREE Grocery Guide! →  @realfoodology →  www.realfoodology.com →  My Immune Supplement by 2x4 →  Air Dr Air Purifier →  AquaTru Water Filter →  EWG Tap Water Database Produced By: Drake Peterson Learn more about your ad choices.
