199: Vivica Menegaz on Gallbladder Health, Fiber, Keto-Paleo for Women’s Hormones, and Female Identity
It's time for the WELLNESS REALNESS RETREAT 2019! This year's retreat will be in sunny San Diego, CA from July 26th-July 28th. The weekend will be filled with health and body image workshops, delicious food, nutrient drips, acupuncture, hiking, yoga, and more. You can find more information and get your tickets at bit.ly/wellnessrealness2019!
Today I'm chatting with Vivica Menegaz, a certified whole-food nutritionist, blogger, author and one of the leading voices in the wellness community advocating for a “keto-paleo” food-based approach to healing. Vivica is the founder of the popular blog The Nourished Caveman, which is read by millions across the world. She is also the author of Keto Paleo Kitchen, The Everything BIG Book of Fat Bombs, and co-author of The Ultimate Paleo Cookbook.
In this episode, Vivica and I discuss the root cause of gallbladder issues, the connection between the gallbladder and hormonal dysfunction, becoming prediabetic on a paleo diet, and why she started eating keto-paleo. Vivica explains the problem with dairy, the role of fiber in the diet, and how constipation relates to fiber. We also discuss the connection between hormone issues and trauma, why women need to support women, understanding female identity, taking responsibility for our fear and anger, and much more.
