This week on The Whole View Podcast, Stacy and I answer listener Sandy’s question about feeling overwhelmed by food restrictions. We first discuss some of the mindset challenges of elimination diets like the Autoimmune Protocol and share some strategies to shift to a more positive outlook, as well as food exploration, recipe resources, treat mentality, simple swaps, knowing your currency, and the learning curve aspect. We also discuss some of the common pitfalls that lead to too many unnecessary restrictions to help you avoid them!

Nutrivore Weekly Serving Matrix
An easy-to-use and flexible weekly checklist
to help you maximize nutrient-density.
The Weekly Serving Matrix is very helpful! I’ve been eating along these lines but this really helps me know where to focus vs. which foods serve a more secondary role. It’s super helpful and has taken a lot of worry out of my meal planning. Thanks!
