Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, your mind just feels sluggish and unfocused? It might surprise you to learn that the key to mental clarity, emotional and just overall well-being could be sitting right on your plate.   In this episode, we discuss the connection between diet, mental health, and personal growth with Autumn Smith, the inspiring founder of Paleo Valley. We also discuss the crucial role of diet in healing, the importance of a collaborative approach between doctors and patients to address the root causes of digestive issues, and actionable steps to improve your health through mindful eating, slowing down, and reconnecting with nature.   Autumn Smith endured over a decade of severe digestive issues that no expert could resolve. Frustrated by the lack of genuinely healthy food products that were more than just buzzwords like "gluten-free" or "natural," Autumn and Chas, with Chas' brother and another close friend, founded Paleovalley.   What we discuss..   (09:46) Discovery of Somatic Therapy in Dance (14:20) Journey to Wellness (21:30) Paleo Diet and Digestive Health (33:01) Benefits of Gradual Dietary Changes (42:18) Nutritional Considerations in Vegan Diets (48:30) Fermented Foods for Gut Health (56:02) Truth About Chicken Labeling (01:02:04) Driving Change in Food Industry (01:17:24) Benefits of Organ Supplementation (01:20:27) Methods for Intermittent Fasting and Wellness   Thank you to our sponsors: PaleoValley: Visit https://paleovalley.com/mona and use code MONA to get 15% discount!   To learn more about Mona Sharma: Website: https://www.monasharma.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monasharma/ An Operation Podcast Original   To learn more about Autumn Smith: Website: https://paleovalley.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paleovalley/ https://www.instagram.com/autumnfladmosmith/   Download Your FREE Guide - 12 Wellness Tips to Unlock Your Best Health Now: Ready to reclaim your vitality?
