Autumn Smith - Healing From IBS & Anxiety, Supporting Regenerative Agriculture, Organ Meats To Support Mental Health The Ultimate Health Podcast

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.
In this episode, we discuss:
