Episode 371

Autumn Smith (IG: @autumnfladmosmith) is the co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures. She holds a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, she's a Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and a Certified FDN Practitioner.

Autumn's passion for health began with her own struggles with IBS and anxiety: despite a career as a professional dancer and celebrity fitness trainer, her own health was in shambles. Desperate for a cure, Autumn and her husband Chas stumbled upon the paleo diet in 2011 and within a month of beginning it, her health was completely transformed.

Autumn then made it her mission to share the information she had learned with as many people as possible.
