054: The Healing Benefits of the Paleo Diet & the Importance of Nutrient-Dense Foods for Children with Autumn Smith

The Ultimate Baby Podcast

After suffering from IBS for years, Autumn Smith (@autumnfladmosmith) eventually adopted a whole-food diet and transformed her health. With this new foundation of health, she wanted to share her passion and started Paleovalley with her husband. Through this endeavor, she has been dedicated to harnessing the power of whole foods to help others heal and thrive. She is also a mom passionate about raising her son on a nutrient-dense diet!

In this episode, we get into Autumn's digestive health challenges, the incredible connection between the brain and gut, and how adopting a paleo diet transformed her mental health. We also discuss how Autumn maintained a healthy pregnancy and why she included organ supplements in her regime. She shares her postpartum experience, how she introduced nutrient-dense foods to her son at a young age, and how she navigated picky eating as he got older.
