Ancestral Health Symposium 2013

The 2013 Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS13) will be held in Atlanta, GA from August 15th through August 17th.

AHS is an important three-day event created to unite the ancestral health movement and to foster collaboration among scientists, health professionals and laypersons who study and communicate about health from an evolutionary perspective to develop solutions to our health challenges. This includes the low carb and Paleo communities.

Of interest to all low carb dieters as well as diabetics and those living a Paleo lifestyle, Ancestral Health Symposium 2013 is shaping up to be the event of the year.

If you are interested in understanding human health, disease, and wellness from the perspective of the human ecological niche and human evolution, please attend Ancestral Health Symposium 2013!

CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb can be tough at first but you can do it to avoid the Food Pushers. The holidays are straight ahead, and with them piles and piles of carby junk, and worse, people nagging you to eat the stuff. Why so many people think that saying things like "But you have to eat it! It's traditional!" and "I worked all afternoon making it just for you" constitutes an expression of holiday goodwill, I have no idea, but sadly this behavior is all too common. You need to think ahead about how to respond to this sort of thing.
