Question 1: 4:35

I lost about 40 pounds since I started Intermittent Fasting mixed with the Paleo diet- I feel so much better! I love that my skin has cleared up which is an awesome and unexpected side effect. Unfortunately, I have stalled out on my weight loss for the past month! This stinks because I haven’t changed anything about my diet, I still do great with my eating window and with my Paleo diet. What do you recommend to break my stall- should I try the calorie approach?

Question 2: 21:40

I just turned 30 and I figure it’s time to start thinking about my future as I am growing older. Besides fasting, and sticking to the 80/20 principle, what are some supplements, vitamins, etc that a woman my age should be taking? I’ve heard some people say that we can get our vitamins, minerals, micros, omegas, EVERYTHING from the food we eat! Is this true?

-Macy in Lubbock

Question 3: 26:25

Since doing Intermittent Fasting, I’ve realized that I have a lot more food sensitivities, not that they are crazy, but I think I just notice much more now what foods make me feel good and what doesn’t. For example, soy, eggs, and wheat seem to be irritating me. Do you think I am gluten intolerant or it is just a mild reaction?I love these things, and when I cut them out I feel so deprived. Do you have any advice?

-Sandra

Question 4: 30:54

Q:I have not felt at ALL Like myself lately. I have been researching my symptoms, which include exhaustion, a MAJOR sweet tooth, brain fog, sick all of the time, and worst of all, a low sex drive!!!!! Everything I am reading leads me to believe this is Candida. If so, how did I get it? And what can I do to treat this? I would appreciate your help, and so would my husband! LOL!

-Angie in Charlottesville

Question 5: 34:56

Q: Chantel, you touched on Probiotics back when your podcast first started but I haven’t heard much since. What is your favorite Probiotic, and what dosage do you recommend I take and how often?

-Connie in Delaware

Question 6: 39:29

Q: I struggle with Candida, and have heard that it will really help me to get rid of sugar all together! The problem is when I do this, I find myself craving it all the time and then I binge with something like a huge ice cream sundae! I feel like I am always making two steps forward and one step back. What do you suggest?

-Melinda in Grand Rapids

 Question 7: 42:22

Q: When I was younger I took a lot of antibiotics because I had a lot of ear infections- I am reading now that this could be why I am having so many issues with my gut! For this reason I try really hard not to give them to my kids. Is there anything I can do to reverse the damage these antibiotics caused to my gut?

-Carin in Jackson

Question 8: 49:07

Q: What is the difference in a probiotic and prebiotic? I have been taking probiotics for a while now and my friend said she takes a prebiotic as well! I googled it and the info I find just doesn’t make sense.

-Ashton in Louisville

Question 9: 54:00

Q: One of my friends that’s a FREAK about gut health blames everything on the gut! Like when I am in a bad mood, she says my gut must be off lol. She says there’s a connection to my gut and my mood. I’ve been really moody lately and trying to put my finger on why! Then I realized I have also been constipated, and am wondering if my friend is actually right! Can this truly be related to my gut?
