RHR - Debunking Paleo Diet Myths—with Sarah Ballantyne












hey everybody welcome to another episode of revolution health radio this week I'm really excited to welcome dr. Sarah Ballentine as a guest on the show she's the creator of the award-winning online resource the Paleo mom co-hosted the syndicated top-rated the Paleo view podcast and the New York Times bestselling author of paleo principles her newest book which I'm excited to talk about today the Paleo approach the paleo approach cookbook and the healing kitchen Sara earned her doctorate degree in medical biophysics at the age of 26 and spent the next four years doing research on critical care medicine innate immunity gene therapy and cell biology earning a variety of wards and research excellence along the way many of you know Sara from the the Paleo primal community and she has a long been a voice of reason and also someone who like myself shares a passion for research and backing up her writing with with evidence which i think is really important and often in short supply in the health world online and you know sara has been one of those people that I connected with right away especially in this particular domain and we've both enjoyed geeking out on all of the research that supports the ancestral diet and lifestyle one of the things we're going to be talking about today is how much research there is that supports these diet and lifestyle choices that we make you might be surprised to find that there's much much more than the you know mainstream media and critics LED on and in fact that's really the subject of Sara's latest book paleo principles it's essentially a research Bible looking at all of the peer-reviewed research from a biochemical perspective that supports the ancestral diet and lifestyle so Sara's very passionate about this subject she's extremely knowledgeable and I'm really looking forward to diving into this podcast with her so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did let's jump in hey everybody Chris crecer here anyone who's tried to keep a new year's resolution for longer than a week knows how hard it can be to make a change that sticks now imagine if your life depended on that change or the life of someone you love fact is lifestyle and behavior changes determine whether we succumb to chronic illness or cut it off at the pass and yet that doesn't make change any easier the answer to better health isn't just more doctors trained in functional medicine it's also more health coaches why because a skilled coach doesn't just have more information at her fingertips she knows what questions to ask how to link behavior to your goals and most importantly how to help you tap your own motivation so that you can make lasting change this skill can help reinvent health care it could also be your next career there has never been a better time to consider a career in health coaching the field of health coaching is growing by leaps and bounds there's so much demand for this kind of support which practitioners aren't always in a position to offer and it can look lots of different ways - whether you're interested in working on your own as a solo business or in collaboration with an in-house and a range of health care facilities in a few months I'll be opening enrollment for my new adapt health coach training program which is designed to help you tap your talents and sharpen your skills as a health coach so that you can be part of the reinvention of health care in this country if you're interested in learning more don't miss my free webinar called health coaching 101 how to set yourself up for success where I'll share insights on why health coaches are critical what a health coach does and doesn't do how to know if this career is a fit for you the critical skills every health coach needs how to make a living as a coach and what new opportunities exist for health coaches plus I'll tell you a little more about the upcoming adapt health coach training program so you can keep an eye out for it later this spring the webinar will happen live on January 17th at 4 p.m. Pacific time but don't worry if that time has already passed because you can listen to the recording go to Chris crecer comm slash health coach webinar to register for the webinar or access the recording okay now on to the podcast Sarah Ballentine thanks so much for joining us happy to have you here thanks so much for having me so I want to talk a little bit about paleo is not evidence-based we hear this all we hear this all the time right we hear it in the media like you know it's it's January 2018 so I don't know if this has already happened but it's gonna happen soon where the US will come out with their diet and Mediterranean and - low salt you know diet will be at the top of the list and paleo and probably keto will be now at the bottom of the list you have to get used to eating a hamburger without the bun and that's just too big of an ask for me right I believe that was literally in the write-up last year and I cannot tell you how many times I wrote yeah and it's really interesting you know like it's so-called science journalist I'm doing air quotes now don't even bother to spend one second looking in the scientific literature to determine if there is actually any support for the Paleo type of diet now unfortunately we have people who have done that such as yourself and your new book paleo principles is a really deep dive into the science that supports nutrient-dense paleo type of diet of course I've you know both of us have written a lot about this over time but it was that your motivation for doing this book so I pitched this book to my publisher and you've you've seen it so like I wasn't just pitching I wanted to write the heaviest paleo book that wasn't what I actually set out to do I didn't go hey publisher I would like to write the heaviest and I said as I wanted to write the book that brings scientific validity to the entire paleo movement which is sort of an ambitious statement but I was so frustrated reading these various critiques of paleo some of which have such a distorted understanding of the main tenets of paleo to begin with so there they're criticizing a die that doesn't even resemble how most of us eat so that's sort of frustrating in a different way but then reading over and over again these articles that equate paleo to zero carbohydrate diets all meat diets ketogenic diets and it's it's not the same thing and and there's some overlap and the approaches and you can combine approaches but but paleo by itself is not those things and then you know you get the there's no science to support as only a you know a handful of small clinical trials and you can't you can't put any you know stock in that or there's you know the lack of evidence the I almost feel like it's there's more than one group of people that I feel like I'm constantly sort of talking into like can we just have this conversation about nutrient density and nutrient sufficiency like number one can we talk about compounds and foods that are inherently anti-inflammatory versus compounds and foods that are inherently inflammatory and I feel like I'm I'm butting up against a plant-based diet people and then this very very stuck in you have to eat foods from all the food groups and this will die if we don't eat whole grains argument of nutritionists dieticians and so I feel like when I'm talking to those groups of people the only way to break through they're you know very set opinions is to present a really robust scientific argument and so that's you know and one of the reasons why you and I have gotten along so well for so long because I know you do the same thing but it's one of the reasons why the articles on my website are always thoroughly researched with citations and always present it's really important to me to present the current state of evidence in science which is different than saying this is the way it is because science is we don't we don't actually know everything we're we're still researching various topics and there's aspects of paleo for which the evidence is really really strong and there's aspects of paleo where it's a little bit more nuanced there's a more detailed conversation to have surrounding those particular foods and I really feel that it's very important to present that to not just naysayers but also people who are trying to use paleo to reach their health goals because I think that it's really important to empower people with knowledge and to admit the current bounds of human knowledge because that's the only way that we can continue to adapt and refine is if we can you know say now admit up front you know traditionally prepared lentils is kind of a great area there might be some real benefits to this food for a lot of people maybe we shouldn't demonize it with soy I think it's really important to to have those more detailed conversations upfront so that it allows us to adapt as we learn more but also empower people to experiment with themselves as individuals and really understand their own optimal diet right so agree hundred percent and there's so many things came to mind there I was jotting a couple of them down is that there's there's so many directions we could go one is I think just expanding the conversation around diet to move away from this idea that there's one diet that is you know great for everybody and I think legumes is a perfect example of that because certainly you know and we I know from my work that for some people the goom's are a really bad idea and are gonna cause a lot of problems and you know people that come to mind they're people with GI issues fodmap intolerance autoimmune issues in some cases whereas for other people you know lentils and the particularly the fermentable fiber that they contain might be really perfectly fine in the context of an overall nutrient-dense diet and so I feel like that that's something that is changing but needs to continue to change because if you look at like even the concept of having the top diet a list of top diets you know that the US News and World Report's publishes implied that we can just find one diet that's gonna be best for everybody well and that's one of the reasons why I try very much in all of my writing and I tried very much in in paleo principles was to get away from trying to distill the Paleo diet or any other variation of the Paleo diet into a set of rules and I really feel like that's one of the things that all of these other diets do right they give you your eat this don't eat this rules measure this count this whatever it is and I feel like that sets us up for two problems one is that many human beings are sort of inherently rule breakers rather than rule followers and I like to to draw the the comparison of speeding limits because I think there's a large percentage of the population that doesn't always drive the speeding limit and maybe you were only going 5 miles an hour over or 10 miles an hour over and you're staying a belief that threshold that would get you a ticket if you you know drove past a speed trap but you're still pushing that rule right you're still you're still trying to figure out your way around it and I think we approach diet in very much the same way when you just say this is what I'm supposed to eat and this is what I'm not supposed to eat it sort of sets us up for for rebellion for you know trying to trying to find the wiggle room the cheat meals whatever it is and I think that that doesn't discuss a disservice because when you don't really understand the reason behind the rules it makes it a lot harder to respect those rules and I think you could make the same argument for a really windy road with a low speed limit and you say we'll look these corners are so tight that if you take it beyond the speed limit you can go over the edge of the cliff and all of a sudden people are driving the speed limit on that road so I think that if you can provide a broader education behind the rules and get into rather than a dogmatic rule-based approach start talking about an educational foundation that informs choices and allows people to really understand okay so if I choose this instead of this food this is the impact it's going to have on my body and that that's separate than being perfect it doesn't mean that we're gonna make the best choice every time but it empowers our choices with knowledge so that we have this deeper reasoning for doing something rather than just I know I'm supposed to her I know I'm not supposed to and I I think that really is key to being able to affect change in the chronic illness landscape right now because I think so many of us if you don't really understand you know why pizza and ice cream are not supporting your health but you know they taste really good you know you're not supposed to eat three meals of pizza and ice cream a day but why not because hey like if you don't really understand what that's doing to your body I think it's a lot easier to make the the easy tasty choice as opposed to when you do understand what's going on and then that translates to exactly what you're talking about the the getting away from one diet because you start to say well look here's here's the main ideas that mean that this food is a better food than this food it's it's nutrient density versus presence of compounds that might undermine your health in some way and the thing is is not all foods are black and white there's these awesome foods that have tons of nutrients and nothing problematic in them and then there's foods that have almost no inherent nutritional value and tons of problematic compounds but most foods fall somewhere in the spectrum in between so where do you draw the line and if you have this detailed understanding of what's in that food that is going to hurt you or harm you then you can figure out where the line is for yourself and then you can experiment on yourself and figure out well are the you know saponin Zanda gluten ins that are not completely deactivated by soaking and cooking and lentils is that enough to to be too much of a problem for me personally with my health history and with my particular health challenges and health goals compared to the you know incredible fiber density of lentils and you know also the mineral density of lentils am i you know after I put this on a scale of pros and cons that scale has to be informed by my personal health everything so then I'm going to be able to decide you know is this it does this make it into my diet or or not because I really understand the prop but I understand the decision in in this detailed way and it's one of the reasons why I've tried to really steer clear of even defining paleo as as we eat all these things and not these things right I mean that is part of what we're struggling against as as practitioners is we live in a culture where that kind of awareness of you know how things we put into our body impact us is not cultivated or encouraged in some ways is discouraged so many people don't they're not taught that or how they're not helped to develop that as a kid and then you know when they're adults that software has not really been installed you know and then and so sometimes I've found that even just just if I say something like you know just pay attention to how that affects you and you know sometimes they get a blank stare or like you know what do you what do you mean and then I have to actually spell it out like okay so you're looking for any new symptoms you're looking for an exacerbation of your current symptoms you're looking for you know uncomfortable sensations in your body it all sounds you know pretty elementary but so so many of us have not been supported in developing that kind of awareness so I think that's one one obstacle and one reason why people just want to be told what to eat and not to eat the other thing is it's it's much easier in some ways to just follow a prescription than it is to pay attention and determine what's happening based on what you're eating it and that's not always easy - you and I both know you know like if you eat something for breakfast and then you feel worse after lunch was it because of what you ate for lunch or what you ate for breakfast or what you ate four days ago so you know the food journals and stuff can be helpful but it's not it's not just that we haven't most of us haven't been supported to develop this awareness it's it's actually quite hard to do so I think those are some of the obstacles there's so many so much signal interference from refined and manufactured foods as well which i think makes the you know I I come from a history of morbid obesity and binge eating disorder so I'm very familiar with the complete ineffectual aspect of like listening to your body like my body says to eat all this ice cream I don't understand and so part of my personal health journey has been in part getting better in tuned with what my body is actually telling me but it's also been detoxing from those foods that were clouding out the signals from my body and and then in some ways you know letting my brain sort of override some of those signals right so I still you know even six-and-a-half years into paleo from you know binge eating disorder is a is a you know mental health problem and so I will still sometimes have you know compulsion to eat type sensations and I have to think my way through it it's not strong like it's not it's something that in the olden days I wouldn't have been able to resist right when that compulsion to to eat would would come I mean I that's that would be a main driver of my behavior and now it's something that I can acknowledge and find a healthy something to satisfy that compulsion that's not going to derail me but it's still something that will will hit me from time to time and I have to use my brain to go no I'm not actually hungry right now like I know I feel like eating but it's not like this is the brain part not the rest of my body talking and that's that's been a really hard part of my personal health journey because it's it's required so much consistency in order to get to a place where can I have a like a better relationship with food and a better understanding of my body's signals and and what signals are real and which ones can just sort of easily be ignored yes this is a subject probably for a whole nother podcast so I'm gonna pause here and I want to actually move back a little bit to research given it that's such a big foot it's been such a big focus for both of us when I was writing my book my most recent book on conventional medicine and I was talking about functional medicine you know one of the biggest critiques of functional medicine just like paleo is that it's not evidence-based or there's no research for it yeah again I roll of course but one of the reasons for that is if you go to PubMed and you cert which is for people who are not familiar it's a you know database of studies that have been published and each use certain if you type functional medicine into PubMed you get nothing you know it's you're not gonna see a list of papers all supporting functional medicine does that mean that there's no research on functional medicine absolutely not functional medicine is a paradigm it's a framework it's a way of looking at things and so if you use an example like irritable bowel syndrome you know a functional medicine approach to irritable bowel syndrome involves looking at the underlying causes like SIBO or parasites or you know disrupted gut microbiome or got brain access dysfunction things like that instead of just looking at like how effective are you know using drugs to suppress the symptoms so if we want to go into PubMed and search for functional medicine evidence for irritable bowel syndrome you'd look for connection between SIBO and IBS you look for a connection between disrupted gut microbiome in IBS you look for connection between nutrient deficiencies in IBS and every one of those studies that you find which you will find many of support functional medicine but none of them are going to have the term functional medicine in them well and much of the research that I draw on to support the Paleo diet it's a very analogous situation because it's not you know these are you know randomized controlled crossover blinded clinical trials with 10,000 participants of these people go grain free and these don't I mean you just can't do that in a blinded fashion period but it's it's more the the studies and and it's not even always human studies although those are always wonderfully informative when we can get them but it might be a cell culture model study that looks at glidin fragments that we know are predictably formed in our digestive tract because the you know glidin fraction of gluten is not very compatible with our digestive enzymes so it's it's broken apart in very predictable locations and it creates these very predictable peptides of gliadin that have biological activity in everybody and so it's a study that looks at you know some type of epithelial cell in a you know cell culture system puts glide in on the surface of that cell and then measures how much gets to the other side and then maybe does some really cool imaging looking at tight Junction formation and then you can say oh wow look at this amazing study that showed that this particular glide and peptide actually signals through calcium mobilization inside the cell and unraveling if the tight junction which increases the permeability of this epithelial cell layer in a cell culture system and yeah you still need to to take that mechanistic information and go okay so in a live digestive tract is the same magnitude of an effect seen compared to a you know mono layer of epithelial cells in a cell culture system but that type of mechanistic data is what supports animal studies which is then what supports human studies and you can draw a really amazingly detailed and complete picture drawing on tens of thousands of studies but each look at these little tiny pieces of the problem and then when you you put that all together and you say well well look like I take this completely contemporary biology approach to paleo so I I mean I think evolutionary biology is fascinating but I all of my arguments for what to eat what not to eat come from really understanding the impact at the cellular molecular level of compounds and foods and you can create this exact same picture it it comes out to pretty much paleo by just taking that approach going through the scientific literature and then it's supported with this now quite you know impressive growing collection of clinical trials where they take people and put them on a paleo diet and measure improvements in various markers of health over time so I think that it's going to be great to be able to add to you know this this clinical trial evidence but there's so much evidence there now and it's it just takes a I mean it takes a person who loves spending hours upon hours and hamed it takes somebody to take all those pieces of the puzzle and put them together for people and that that's not really a job that exists out there right now it's not like there's a group of scientists whose job it is is to look at everybody else's science and and make the big picture and then you know give that to the the science writers like that that's not currently a thing so we feel so dissociated as average people from the medical literature just because about that lack of no picture communication yeah that's why people have turned to bloggers because I mean one of the consequences of new media you know internet social media over the last several years I mean we often forget like Facebook's only wet 10 not even 10 is it 10 years old nine years old or something I mean it's like I think it's because I think I started in 2007 yeah so it's like life after Facebook or in life before Facebook I mean I don't personally use Facebook but it's had a profound impact and and not just Facebook but medium and blogs and everything and and so newspapers it's kind of amazing that there still are newspapers in some way because it's so fragmented now and one of the consequences are that newspapers had to really downsize and meet traditional media outlets really downsized in order to to survive and the first thing that they downsized was investigative reporting and reporting by people with you know the deeper kind of reporting that would happen with read through science journalism so what you have now is people who are not trained in science filling the role of science journalists and they just take stuff off of the wire and there's no analysis at all to determine if it's legitimate there's no critical thought process to you know go through the the process that you just took us through in terms of thinking about a study and the specifics of it and how that can be related to you know a nutritional approach and so we just get like really glossy superficial and and sometimes just outright wrong interpretation of what is happening in the scientific literature well it's one of the things that I find so frustrating because it there's a lot of different steps so if you look at a website that does more science-based articles they're typically getting their articles from press releases or they're getting their articles from you know bloggers other websites that have already written something and I get very very frustrated when science is misrepresented especially when it's misrepresented just to get a headline like that that to me is just so so frustrating but it also the combination of that misrepresented science in what would be more sort of considered mainstream media and in the combination between that and the I mean I love the Internet it's an amazing thing but there's zero quality control and so there's this also collection of people who write articles you know the pseudoscience right so the I'm gonna see I'm gonna write this in a very technical way so you think I'm smart and I'll throw a bunch of scientific citations at the bottom but meanwhile it's actually just complete nonsense in those articles in it it makes it so that the consumer of information has to be so well educated to be able to do their own quality control right they have to be able to read through these things and go well you know this person you know is reputable and always does great work this person is just trying to get my dollar and this you know article based on this paper is you know well representative of the work and this one isn't and it it's tough for an average person like for me I can I can get into the technical language really quickly and I can dive into the medical literature really easily that's my background and you know it can still be time-consuming but it's not a super effort for me because it's it's a language that I speak so fluently but for most people it's it's really tough to be able to discern good information versus bad which means that those of us who put so much effort into producing good information sometimes our messages can get sort of diluted with just the volume of stuff out there on the internet yeah that's a huge pet peeve of mine too I would say right up there is just the laziness like I said before it just drives me nuts when people don't take one second to go to PubMed and do a search I mean I'm not talking about general public I'm talking about journalists you know so-called science journalists I don't expect the average person to go to PubMed search bloggers I mean if you're if you're going to be contributing to this field and writing articles that maybe a media let's kind of pick up like the fact-checking is a great thing to do absolutely so I mean an example of that would be if you say there's no research supporting the Paleolithic diet why not independent of everything we've said already that's like it's you can't just look for for studies that are have the words Paleolithic diet in them because you're gonna miss nine-tenths of what's out there or more actually probably more like ninety-eight percent of what's out but can you at least go and search for Paleolithic diet I mean like that that doesn't take long and if I do that right now I see that there's a hundred ninety-eight search results so you know and not all of those necessarily are favorable but the vast majority of them are actually there there there aren't many studies in that group if you scroll through the list and even if you just read the abstract that are showing harm from paleo or null outcomes you know no benefit yeah I mean there's zero studies showing harm from paleo there's a couple of studies showing one iodine deficiency over two years of people on a paleo diet but you could also iodine deficiency in the general population so it's hard to say if that's specific to paleo but and it's also quite easy to resolve I've always recommended people consuming some sea vegetables and fish and other types of foods that have iodine but but you know if that's the only thing you're doing pretty well right well and I think the other the other aspect of that is is within every dietary framework there are certain nutrients that tend to fall short and of course the standard American diet it's like 90 percent of nutrients tend to fall short and paleo basically outperforms every other diet in terms of nutrient sufficiency but there are still a handful of nutrients that if you're if you're following a standard Paleo diet of just sort of like meat and vegetables and some coconut oil your have a higher likelihood of missing out and it's not just iodine right we can fall short on calcium we can fall short on biotin we can fall short on magnesium like there's that there's a collection of nutrients and as soon as you combine paleo with you know what I call stars like a nutrient density focus so incorporating more seafood and sea vegetables eating up very high vegetable content so I recommend like eight servings or more a day of vegetables as part of like that's how I define the Paleo diet is that it's a vegetable rich diet incorporating some organ meat like as soon as you start to to think about these sort of nutrient powerhouse foods as the basis even of the Paleo diet and sort of rounding out with the you know the filler foods like fruit really round out with those things then you very very quickly sort of nullify any potential arguments against paleo for for not supplying sufficient nutrients meanwhile even if you don't have that you know amazing focus on on nutrient-dense foods you still outperform every other dietary framework in terms of nutrient sufficiency and anti-inflammatory effects and just avoiding most of the foods that we know are responsible for the chronic disease epidemic really you know like it's so much about what's not there to when we look at traditional paleo diets I know you're not necessarily covering this you know the evolutionary perspective in the book but what's what's so notable about it to me is there were a lot of differences you know depending on geography and what food availability and things like that but that there were common threads in all of those cases you know what they weren't eating and I think that that makes a big difference too and I think there's common threads not just so there's common threads in terms of inflammatory foods that are not part of their diets there's common threads in terms of nutrient sufficiency but there's also common threads in terms of the lifestyle aspects and that's one of the things that I think is so powerful about paleo especially now is that it's no longer just a diet or a diet plus CrossFit right like it's now a you know template for living right it's a a framework that informs your food choices but then it's also a focus on stress management and a focus on adequate sleep and active lifestyle and community and these things have become so ingrained in in how we define paleo that I think it's really powerful because we know that food is not the only input to health it's not the only factor and so if we can combine these other like really important aspects of you know a healthy lifestyle I think we've got an even more sort of powerful argument that's an evidence-based argument in favor of this approach absolutely so I want to thank you personally for doing book you know it's it's much-needed resource and I'm just going to if anyone ever says there's no science to support this approach I'm just gonna send them a link my sole comment nah I'm saying okay read this then then if you want to have a conversation we can have a conversation but until you have educated yourself and you're speaking from a place of knowledge and understanding then it's not even worth going there so the book is paleo principles by Sarah ballantine it's on Amazon all five star reviews which doesn't surprise me at all and yeah what are you working on next I know you've always got something yeah I do so I'm actually working on another book well so to be fair I started this book two books ago and I got distracted by two books so this is one that I started a few years ago and I feel like I owe it to my publisher to finish it so it is a gut health focused book that is penciled to come out probably in the fall this year if I can stay healthy and and motivated to keep working on it and then then I'm definitely planning on a book break because they're quite they're quite draining draining projects to work on but yeah I you know I always have I'm one of those people who always has way too many ideas and not enough time to see them all to fruition so I'm definitely not bored yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't expect you to well thanks for coming on Sarah it's always a pleasure to talk to you and everybody go check out get yourself a copy of paleo principles it's amazing resource I if we were doing video you could see it on my bookshelf here behind me very few books are in a place on that shelf because it's there's a limited amount of space and I and I want to make sure that what's there is is you know pulling its weight in terms of its reference value so thank you it's great quick easy reference I mean I've got many of those studies somewhere in my files but the again you know I wanted thank you for putting those all together in one place it's it's such a valuable service to the community Thank You Chris that means a lot to me okay everybody thanks for listening sending your questions to Chris Keslar comm slash podcast question and we'll talk to you next time that's the end of this episode of revolution health radio if you appreciate the

Video Description:





In this episode of Revolution Health Radio (RHR) we discuss “Debunking Paleo Diet Myths—with Sarah Ballantyne" We often hear people talking about how the Paleo diet is lacking scientific evidence to support its health claims. But is that really true? Today, I talk with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (a.k.a. The Paleo Mom), about the science and research that supports the ancestral diet and lifestyle—and how you can use that knowledge to customize your diet to match your own unique needs.

In this episode we discuss:
● Sarah’s new book and bringing scientific validity to the Paleo movement and
● Feeling empowered to experiment; a diet shouldn’t be a set of rules
● Learning to listen to your body and how it reacts to certain foods
● Where is all the research for Functional Medicine and the Paleo diet
● Fact checking and pseudoscience; not all articles published are facts!
● Why all diets (including Paleo) have a tendency to fall short in certain nutrients
● Food is not the only input to health
