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

This very well may be my favorite day of the summit.

Why?

Because I love Paul Jaminet, am totally fascinated with how gluten can affect more than just your gut, and because I didn’t want to make this summit a total Paleo Love Fest.

Disagreement can be a good thing. It’s how we learn from each other.

In Room 3, Matt Stone presents on why he thinks the Paleo Diet is a giant FAIL for a lot of people. According to Matt, Paleo is a short-term fix that may lead to adrenal problems, lowered metabolism, reduced libido, anxiety, and more.

Can Matt sway your opinion of Paleo? View his presentation RIGHT HERE!

Room 2 is where you’ll find my own personal favorite summit presentation by Dr. Tom O’Bryan.

The most basic Paleo recommendation is to avoid gluten. However, there are a lot of people who have gluten sensitivity with no digestive symptoms at all! Dr. O’Bryan connects the dots linking gluten consumption, autoimmune disease, muscle pain, and bone loss. This one is sure to blow your mind!

View Dr. O’Bryan’s presentation HERE!

In Room 1, Paul Jaminet outlines his 5 lines of evolutionary evidence for the optimal human diet. Paul’s evidence includes:

* The diet of Paleolithic humans as well as more recent hunter-gatherers
* The diet of mammals
* The composition of human breast milk
* The composition of the human body
* The food reward sytem

Paul is mad smart!! Be sure to take notes.

Watch Paul’s presentation HERE!

And like I said, disagreement can be a good thing. Tomorrow, Nora Gedgaudas cross-examines Paul’s evolutionary evidence, sharing what she agrees and disagrees with.

This Paleo Summit is getting interesting!

Hope you guys are loving it as much as I am.
