We often work with people who may need to restrict their diet at some point during their treatment. However, this should not last forever. In fact, too much restriction can reduce the amount of key nutrients one can get from diet! In this insightful episode, I sat down with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne who has done extensive research on nutrient density! She shares resources for determining nutritious foods and how to avoid nutrient deficiencies.  Read Dr. Ballantyne’s book, Nutrivore:  https://nutrivore.com/go/book/ Learn more about Nutrivore with these free nutrient density resources! https://nutrivore.com/learn/ 👇 Watch more videos like this 👇  ➡️Why You Have Food Intolerances & How to Improve Them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-LNHKlk5Oc&t=19s ➡️The Best And Worst Foods For Histamine Intolerance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hird4u7tHis&t=244s ➡️The Impact of Processed Foods and Emulsifiers on Gut Health: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q50Hz4gB8E ➡️Eat These 7 Foods EVERY DAY for SIFO & Candida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIKgNtxC3Mw&t=232s ➡️The Top Anti-Inflammatory Foods You Should Eat Every Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF5gOX-VsFY&t=79s ➡️Why the AIP Diet Doesn't Work for Most Autoimmune Cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAu7snNfeM   Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@DrRuscioDC?sub_confirmation=1 And if you have any questions or topics you would like covered in the future, let me know in the comments!   👇Read these next 👇 ➡️What is the Paleo Diet? https://drruscio.com/paleo-diet/  ➡️ How to Eat a 30g Protein Breakfast Every Day (with Recipes!) https://drruscio.com/30g-protein-breakfast/  ➡️Your 3-Step Guide to an Effective Elimination Diet https://drruscio.com/elimination-diet/  ➡️How to Get Rid of Bad Bacteria in the Gut for Good https://drruscio.com/how-to-get-rid-of-bad-bacteria-in-the-gut/    Timestamps 00:00 Intro  04:15 Why Nutrivore? 10:40 Dangers of restrictive dieting 25:59 Measuring nutrient density  39:43 Food and diet resources 47:00 Protein intake 55:50 Liver nutrient density  01:03:48 High histamine food tips 01:10:39 Effects of processed foods 01: 16:54 The Nutrivore Meal Map   Follow Me Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/   DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
