Real Talk, Whole Life — Alternative Health
Real Talk, Whole Life

Welcome to Real Talk, Whole Life—part candid phone call with your nerdy best friends, part myth-busting, and entirely unfiltered. Wellness without the woo. Womanhood without the guilt. Wisdom from the fine folks who survived dial-up and low-fat lies.
Host Stacy Toth brings honest, heartfelt conversations about what it means to live fully—in your body, your brain, and your messy, magical life. From midlife mayhem and mental health to Botox alternatives and book recs, we’re covering it all—with a side of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart.
No shame. No pseudoscience. Just the kind of conversations you actually want to hear when you call a friend—especially if “wellness” has never quite felt like it was made for you.
Rooted in womanhood, open to anyone who’s ever been side-eyed in a yoga studio. Come for the hot takes, stay for the healing.
Real Talk, Whole Life is hosted by Stacy Toth, bestselling diet culture author turned anti-diet health at any size educator. Her goal is to create a safe space for all to explore their own version of wellness without the elitist self-focused woo woo. Previously The Whole View and The Paleo View, this evolution of the podcast is a reflection of the growth we all go through exploring being middle aged. Expect a wide variety of guests on an even greater variety of topics, but always inclusive ways for non-toxic living (mental and physical).

Listener Question:

Hello Stacy and Dr. Sarah! Long time listener, first time submitting a question. Thank you both for this amazing podcast. These past few years especially, having you both there every week has been a lifesaver! My question is about exercise. This time of year it is everywhere and I’m just not feeling it. How important is exercise really to our overall health?

I love walking (and listening to both of you soapbox, of course), so I am hoping that's enough. I just can’t see myself back in group classes just yet and I am not motivated enough to workout alone at home. Additionally, my back has been chronically sore, I assume it’s from the increased time I spend sitting, since we all have been home so much more these past 2 years. Help?! - Gabby

Listener Question:

Hello Ladies,

I've been listening to your podcast for many years and have learned so much from both of you! Incorporating what I have learned from your shows has made a huge difference in both my life and that of my family. I can honestly say, it has been life-changing. Today I'm writing with a question that I think is perfect for you two since it incorporates many topics you have previously discussed, but am looking for your thoughts on these topics as they relate to teens.

As a mom to a 12-yr old daughter about to enter her teen years (yikes) I was hoping you two would be able to share some insight and advice to help navigate all things teen-related!! Between the 2 of you, I'm guessing you've probably seen it all. It's been a minute since I was a teen so it's hard to remember how exciting (and challenging) this time can be, plus it seems like it would be so much harder these days with the impact of social media and all the other craziness going on in the world!

I want to do my best to support my daughter with all the up-coming transitions she will be going through and am looking for tips to help her (and me!) navigate all these changes. Just getting a better understanding of what is going on in her mind and body is super helpful in terms of figuring out how to handle some of the challenges (drama!) while not taking it all personally.

Looking forward to hearing all the wisdom you have to share!

Thanks, Lisa

Episode 490: Setting Priorities and Creating Habits During Stressful Times Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down the science behind forming habits to help listeners focus on achievable goals that set them up for success!

Links to any products and articles discussed are listed here.

Listener Question:

Hi Dr. Sarah and Stacy, I am sure you get this question all the time, and you may have already covered this, but I thought I would ask anyway. How do we make time for health these days? For those of us who are in the mist of figuring out this whole journey to health, these past two years feel like they have just been a huge derailment to any of the goals I wanted to achieve.

When you are looking down a long list (food choices, sleep, exercise, supplements, and selfcare) knowing that you need all these things to come together, where or how do you even start? And stick with them! Just thinking about it causes me stress and I know that stress has an impact on our health as well. How do you set priorities and keep habits? What gives us the most bang for our efforts? I would be so grateful for any tips or advice you have.

Thanks to you both I know the ‘whys’ I just really need a simple ‘how’ to start with. Thank you!

- Carrie

Episode 489: New Years Resolutions & Healthy Weight Dec 31, 2021

Show notes

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down the science behind the diet dogma of healthy weight and what you can do to make better choices more easily.

Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here!

This week's listener question:

Hello to Stacy and Dr. Sarah! Thank you for all the work you both do to help keep us all in the know! I really was touched by your recent shows on weight issues. I’m not 100% there yet but I have heard you!

I would love a show that is a ‘How-to’ on this topic. If our physical size is no longer a good marker, what should the goal be? How do we REALLY find a way to not care about our weight? I just feel very overwhelmed and confused after so many years of using my weight as my goal post, the one that keeps moving on me!

I love the whole idea of body positivity, but how do we even start that process? What are your priorities when focusing on your health and not your weight? I think I just need to know what this looks like day to day. - Beth

Episode 488: Treating Eczema Inside-Out and Outside-In Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

This week, Stacy and Dr. Sarah break down the science on treating Eczema from the inside out. Then, they revisit an old show on Eczema in children with updated science and many product recommendations for listeners to try!

Links to any products and articles discussed in the episode here!

This week's listener Question:

I had Eczema on body (arms, knees, groin, hands, belly) which started in my mid 30s and became most severe during my fourth pregnancy at age 37. Multiple treatments tried including acupuncture, naturopathic supplements did not achieve much improvement.

In late 2018, I did Whole 30 diet twice and saw marked improvement, and then transitioned to a paleo diet. All eczema cleared by 2020, with very small areas on hand remaining. Fall 2020, eczema on lips started.

I don't have eczema anywhere else now. I am now wondering if this perioral dermatitis is related to my previous eczema and how to treat it. Now that it is fall, the lips are beginning to worsen. Thank you! - Emily
