Happy Sunday!

Just six presentations to go until this summit wraps up.

So far, the summit has been a giant Real Food love fest, without any real controversy or dissent from the Just Eat Real Food theme.

Today, that’s going to change a bit.

Why?

Because our Room 1 presenter Matt Stone thinks that processed foods may actually be helpful for some people.

Matt tells us exactly who he thinks can benefit from eating junk food. He also covers why consuming a real food diet is a great way to achieve healthy weight loss.

Watch Matt’s presentation HERE.

In Room 2, super-blogger Jenny McGruther revives the lost art of fermentation, teaching you how fermented foods heal the gut and boost the immune system.

Did you know that 1 in 7 couples has trouble getting pregnant? Diet plays a major role in fertility.

Our Room 3 presenter Donielle Baker shows you exactly which foods and nutrients will increase your fertility and help you make healthy baby.

Two Sides to Every Story

I’ve read and received my fair share of emails this week about the advocacy for consuming animal foods throughout the summit.

Many have brought up books like The China Study and films like Forks Over Knives, which advocate vegan or vegetarian diets.

One attendee even wondered if this summit was funded by the meat industry, which I found to be pretty hilarious since my bank account doesn’t have meat industry ties.

But since the topic has come up so many times, I thought I’d share Denise Minger’s Paleo Summit presentation with you today. In it, she pokes some gaping holes in The China Study, Forks Over Knives, and many other common vegan claims.

In doing so, I am not trying to incite anger from those who choose a meatless diet. Rather, my only intention is to show the other side of the story. There are always two.

Author, The Dark Side of Fat Loss

Listening to last week’s Great Health Debate, I realized that there is so much stuff that I don’t know. Hearing guys like David Wolfe talk about the benefits of wild foods and herbs like medicinal mushrooms (reishi, shitake, chaga, mitake), nettles, and horsetail was pretty cool and actually quite inspiring. I wanted to get on Amazon right then and start buying books about the healing powers of food. But at the same time, I’m becoming more and more aware of the fact that I have a minor addiction to buying books online. Have you seen my living room?

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.

Anyway, enough about my Amazon.com dependency. Lately, I’ve been thinking about the whole Paleo thing. I agree that we should eat like our ancestors, that our genes are hardwired for specific traditional foods that we have consumed for thousands of generations. But I also wonder why the Paleo crowd makes little, if any, mention of fermented foods, bone broths, and organ meats. Yeah, I understand that my Paleo friends aren’t trying to exactly mimic the diet of caveman and cavewoman. That wouldn’t be practical for most folks. I always say that the best diet to stick to is one that you can stick to.

I’m even guilty of leaving out these highly beneficial foods. My bad.

But that’s about to change RIGHT NOW!

We’re about to Get Cultured.

Jennifer McGruther of Nourished Kitchen is in the house today to show us how to make sauerkraut. You know, that stuff that tastes really good on your organic hot dogs. I won’t even begin to act like I know a whole lot about fermentation or sauerkraut. So, we’ll just have to ask the expert. Be sure to check out the video above to get the scoop.

What I can say, based on my limited knowledge, was that when Jenny sent over the ingredients, I was wondering if she forgot an ingredient or two. All I needed were cabbage and salt. That’s it? No starter culture? I heard that sauerkraut is loaded with beneficial bacteria. That’s why it’s great to eat if you’re having a hard time going poop.

But, where does it come from if we don’t use a starter?

I’m out! See you tomorrow on UW Radio!
