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).

Episode 417: Vitamin K2, Hype, or Essential? Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question

Listener Question

I’ve seen more brands starting to push vitamin K2 supplements as essential to take, especially if one is taking Vitamin D. (9:28)

I have a policy of avoiding supplements where possible unless they are whole food supplements or I have a medical reason for doing so, so I’m not sure what to make of company claims.

I’ve been scared into buying emu oil since I don’t think the Corganic liver capsules I take are going to give me enough daily K2 (and I don’t plan on eating 100 grams of liver or natto a day), but it’s pricey and I’m not sure if I’m wasting my money. Help! Thanks! - Mariel

Episode 416: How We're Thriving with ADHD in Quarantine & Virtual School Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question

Listener's Question:

Long time podcast listener - yes, I’ve stuck with you since the early days and love how your podcast has evolved over the years. I’m a mom of 3 boys all with varying degrees of ADHD. My husband has more than a dusting himself but is not formally diagnosed. Stacy, I loved your description of living in a house of 80%ers - it made me giggle because it totally resonated. I’d love to hear more about how you look after you, maintain some semblance of normal family life, deal with ADHD behaviors in public and live in a house that’s not a tip when you’re surrounded by ADHD. In short, how do you not lose your mind with the challenging aspects? Knowing that the men in my life didn’t choose this just doesn’t cut it anymore. Many thanks, Brooke.

Episode 415: Fish oil, Healthy or not? Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

Listener Question:

"Hi ladies, thank you for your wonderful podcast. I listen every week, and I love everything, from the science to the soapboxes. My question has to do with fish oil. Specifically, I've heard mixed research on whether or not it is healthy for people to take as a supplement. It seems there is a lot of people that say that adding a fish oil supplement is really beneficial, but I recently attended a lecture where they were talking about how it can be damaging to the cells due to how it is extracted, and that we actually don't need it as much as we thought. As with anything diet and nutrition-related, there always seem to be many camps that people fall into, and I would love to hear your balanced approach on the science!" - Katie

A special thank you to Rosita for being this week's sponsor. You can visit them at this link here and use the code 'thewholeview' to receive 5% off your order. Rosita was the brand that made Sarah feel comfortable about taking fish oil again. Quality is really important, and Rosita's fresh cod liver oil (not fermented) is so fresh and wild-caught from sustainable fish. It is so clean that they don't even need to add flavoring to it. This is extra virgin cod liver oil that is top quality and is the brand that Stacy and Sarah choose for themselves and their families. They offer both the oil and the capsules.

They also talked about autoimmune diseases and Covid-19, antibacterial soaps versus natural soaps, and the health effects of using disinfectants.

Finally, Stacy and Sarah talked about taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and zinc.

In Episode 401, Stacy and Dr. Sarah explored the way out of this pandemic and how to get back to normal life as we know it.They touched a little bit on reinfection cases, which they will be taking at a more in-depth look at today. They also broke down the science behind wearing face masks.

Episode 411: Do we still follow the Paleo diet? Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question

"Hey ladies, I’m a long time listener of the podcast and I hope by telling you both how awesome you are that you will answer my question. Just kidding! But I know it can’t hurt and it's true! Really, thank you both for all the work you do to keep us in the know. I have been finding the Covid shows so helpful and I feel like I get to rant with you both. On to my question, Sarah I noticed your new book has non-paleo and non-aip foods in it and I know the podcast name has changed, so... do you both even still follow a paleo diet? I would love to know what your diets look like now. Also, what do you both recommend now for all of us looking for general health guidelines, if Paleo is no longer the ‘thing’? Thanks again for all you do! P.S. Sorry Sarah if you cover this in the book, I admittedly have just done a quick scan, and I promise to read it soon. - Holly

Episode 408: Insomnia? Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

Listener Question:

"First, I want to let you ladies know that I really appreciated last week’s podcast. As a long time listener, I was really glad you both chose to speak out. I know times are crazy right now, (Thank you for all your timely Covid-19 shows too) and this may not be a current topic of interest, but I would love an episode all about insomnia. I know you ladies have spoken a lot about the importance of sleep on the podcast but what about those of us who actually suffer from insomnia? It’s been worse than ever this past week. Is there help for those of us who spend hours getting to sleep only to wake up a few hours later and not be able to get back to sleep? Thank you again for all the work you both do." - Caroline

This question is so timely! For those who are just listening to this week's podcast, Caroline is referring to this podcast episode from last week.
