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).

Show notes

This might sound a little unusual, but this is one of the reasons that Stacy and Dr. Sarah do weekly recordings so that they can address things that are happening in the real world.With everything that is going on right now, it didn't seem right to them record the podcast as planned. However, Stacy and Dr. Sarah wanted to instead open up a conversation with listeners.

Episode 406: Got Water? May 29, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question.

Listener Question:

Thanks for continuing to podcast. Crazy times in the world and you and Sarah’s voice is so utterly comforting. Anyway, podcast question! Water intake. I don’t think you guys have done a, 'how much water do we need', podcast episode. A deep dive into this would be really helpful. The standard advice seems to be either one amount for men and one amount for women, or, half your body weight in oz. Which is correct? Or is there another answer? What about just drinking when thirsty? I also have wondered, how much water did our ancestors drink? I assume the water was maybe harder to come by back then so maybe they were drinking less? This is the assumption I’ve always made and has led to me drinking intuitively, which has more than likely led to me being chronically dehydrated :) I feel like with all the conflicting info, it would be great to hear the science. By the way Stacy, as a side note, after about a year I finished catching up on the podcast. I know you are sorry, I am not ;). When searching for a water-related episode, I and came upon an episode called Thirsty Brain. I was like, for sure this has to be about how water intake affects our brain. Nope. Lol. But that was a great episode about Matt’s podcast, called Thirsty Brain :) love you guys. Thanks again for all you do!" - Jessica

Thank you to this week's sponsor, AquaTru. (4:27) Their reverse osmosis system has been sitting on Stacy's counter for a month now, but there is one person in the house who is not convinced that it is a good idea. Stacy first loved this system because of the information that Dr. Sarah shared, but second loved that it is endorsed by Erin Brockovich. Dr. Sarah has had an AquaTru for over four years, and what she loves about them is how different their technology is. It’s the only counter-top reverse osmosis system — in a category all its own. It is not bottled water, not a fridge filter pitcher like Brita or Pur, and is not an under the counter or whole house system needing installation. AquaTru is the only purifier to remove the ‘forever chemicals’ known as PFOAs and at the center of the movie Dark Waters. Most reverse osmosis (RO) systems waste four gallons of water for every one gallon they produce. AquaTru uses a patented water conservation technology that is about 12x more efficient than professionally installed under-the-sink RO systems. RO is the best way to filter water. They are giving our podcast listeners $150 off their AquaTru purchase.

Episode 405: Is there real science on Pesticides and the Dirty Dozen? May 22, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question.

Listener Question

"Is the EWG's dirty dozen list based on strong science? My husband listened to two episodes of the Skeptoid podcast on organic vs. conventional farming. Mr. Dunning said that we are being duped into paying extra for organic produce. It is sprayed with larger amounts of pesticides than those used in conventional farming and the organic pesticides have been shown to cause disease. My husband believes Mr. Dunning because he provides references and appears to be liberal and non-biased in other podcasts. I have been purchasing organic produce according to the Environmental Working Group's dirty dozen list. It says on the Activist Facts website that "There’s really only one thing you need to know about the Environmental Working Group when it comes to its studies of toxins: 79 percent of members of the Society of Toxicology (scientists who know a little something about toxins) who rated the group say that the Environmental Working Group overstates the health risk of chemicals. I am walking around with holes in my shirts, and I haven't gotten the air conditioning fixed in my car, so that I can afford organic food. Am I wasting my money? I feel like I cannot trust anyone but you."

Episode 404: Is grain-free dog food a problem? May 15, 2020

Show notes

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question.

Listener's Question

"Hi Sarah and Stacy! I started listening to the podcast several years ago while I was living in New York City. Every evening after work I would get on the train, put in my headphones, and listen to an episode. I guess I am one of the listeners you are always apologizing to for the early episodes. I have to say I have truly enjoyed them all and have learned so much valuable information. Thank you for all your hard work to both educate and entertain your listeners, I feel like we are friends at this point and I still look forward to a new episode every week. The Paleo View is my favorite podcast hands down! As a person eating a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet myself, I am wondering how to feed my dog in the same way. My husband and I recently added a Bernedoodle puppy to our family and he is the most adorable and mischievous little guy. There is so much conflicting information out there about what diet is best for dogs - they need grains, they don’t need grains, raw is best, raw is dangerous. Most dog food is so highly processed and contains ingredients that to me seem highly inflammatory and nutrient-poor. The organic and grain-free foods look good on paper, but then I read about concerns with grain-free diets and heart problems in dogs. I like the idea of a raw diet, but that also requires a lot more work on my part to source and prepare his food which just isn’t practical for my life right now. I would love to know the science on this topic so I can feel confident in what we are feeding our dog so that he can continue to be a healthy and happy pup! Please help!"
