Dr. Sarah Ballantyne Discusses Nutrient Density and Schools Me on Vegetable Oils
Manage episode 446638067 series 3548149
Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD is a name you may know if you’ve been in the ancestral or paleo circles for any length of time. This woman is now considered straight-up blasphemous in these circles for her bold willingness to challenge her own biases and go back to the research to revisit some strongly held beliefs in the health and wellness communities.
In today's conversation, Dr. Sarah shares how she came to realize she needed to go back to the drawing board, the never-before revealed moment she made a decision that would forever change the trajectory of her career, what she discovered, and how she manages to stay strong in the face of all the hate and vitriol from the community that once held her dear.
She clears us some cognitive dissonance I had regarding vegetable oils and we dive into what she, myself, and others have experienced when we started taking a nutrient-first approach to what we eat and how we can increase our nutrient density without breaking our food budget. You won’t want to miss this!
"Foods are chemically complex. There's lots of different things in them. And just because one compound might not be beneficial, that doesn't mean the whole food is bad." - Dr. Sarah Ballantyne
"If someone with a PhD in medical biophysics who was a medical researcher can fall for nutrition misinformation and pseudoscientific thought patterns, then anyone can." - Dr. Sarah Ballantyne
