In Episode 399 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” I’m pleased to share with you an interview with Paleo nutrition and fitness expert named Nell Stephenson. I found out about Nell through one of your fellow podcast listeners who asked me, “Have you heard of Nell Stephenson?” As it turns out, no I hadn’t–but I have now! What a delightful find she was and I am thrilled to share her with you today. Listen to Nell share about her passion for physical activity since the age of 4, her love for running in triathlons, the influence her mom had on what “healthy” nutrition is, her journey from working as a personal trainer in a gym to working with clients on her own, the parasite that led her to learning about Paleolithic nutrition for health, her personal discovery that wheat, legumes, and dairy were causing more harm than good, the lessons she learned from Dr. Loren Cordain’s Paleo Diet, the amazing endurance she’s felt eating Paleo during ironman competitions, why there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet, how you can do Paleo nutrition incorrectly, the importance of getting the proper balance of macronutrients, a sample menu of what she eats in a day, why she chooses to eat egg whites instead of the whole egg, how she trains clients to achieve the fitness goals they desire, the percentage of ironman competitors who use low-carb Paleo nutrition to fuel their body, the various customized nutritional plans she uses with clients, and her motivation to start blogging on a regular basis.
