Sarah earned her doctorate degree in medical biophysics at the age of 26. She spent the next four years doing research on innate immunity and inflammation before becoming a stay-at-home mom. After her second daughter was born, she began to experiment with the Paleo lifestyle. It had an amazing effect on her health, including contributing to her 120-pound weight loss.
Over time, she healed herself of a long laundry list of physical complaints including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, acid reflux, migraines, anxiety, asthma, allergies, psoriasis and an autoimmune skin condition called lichen planus. Sarah successfully transitioned her originally skeptic husband and two spirited young daughters to a paleo diet and lifestyle. Her passion for providing straightforward explanations of the science behind the paleo diet and its modifications, plus her love of food and cooking and her dedication to her family, form the foundations of her blog, her podcast and her books. You can also find Sarah on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. -

Guest Bio
Patricia Albere is the founder and director of the Evolutionary Collective and an internationally recognized contemporary spiritual teacher and mystic passionate about creating a new paradigm for a higher order of human relatedness. Her work awakens others to the profound depths and infinite wisdom accessed by way of two or more people connected to larger and more powerful evolutionary forces.
For the last 40 years, Patricia's teaching arises from being finely attuned to the transformational power of emergence – that which occurs on the edge of consciousness, culture and human awakening. Her work with collective fields of consciousness has been developed through her continuous work with groups and over 150,000 people internationally. Her unique discovery of the essential components that create an awakened 'we space' is transforming our understanding of what it possible in the space between us and in creating new fields of higher collective consciousness. Her work creates a powerful field of shared consciousness that reveals previously unimagined potentials for human development that can and is moving humanity far beyond the limits of personal growth.
A chance meeting with the man who would become her partner of four years opened up new experiential pathways for Albere to discover the life-transforming potential of sacred intimacy and the inter-communion of two souls. She experienced a dual awakening, one where the awakening was shared and catalyzed through a way of being together. They lived from a dimension of existence that holds the invisible and visible worlds together and through which flows higher communion and transfiguration. -
