• Sponsored by Paleo Britain, Primal Docs, and Paleo Magazine •
In this one-day seminar (10:00am to 4:00pm with a break for lunch), Chris will discuss topics from his book and answer your burning questions about Paleo nutrition and lifestyle and functional medicine. Rather than present a fixed agenda, Chris prefers to let the interests and questions of the participants guide the seminar. Whether you’re new to Paleo or you’re a Paleo veteran or long-time follower of Chris, this format ensures that everyone will come away with practical and actionable information.
Topics covered may include:
- Paleo diet vs. the Paleo template
- How to tailor your diet to meet your goals – weight loss, muscle gain, performance, digestive and autoimmune issues, etc.
- How to determine if you have a problem and how to fix it (elimination diets, supplements, labwork, etc.)
- What to do when Paleo isn’t enough
In addition to the information above, Chris will lead movement and stress management/meditation periods throughout the day to facilitate learning and send you home with new tools for improving your health.
More on Chris’ Approach
The idea behind the Paleo, or ‘caveman’, diet is simple — eat the food we humans were genetically and biologically meant to eat, as our hunter-gatherer ancestors once did, and we can all experience near-effortless weight loss, increased vitality and greatly improved health. But does it really make sense to restrict yourself to the limited range of foods available to our ancestors? Although we share a lot in common with them, we each have our own genes, tastes and health goals.
In Chris Kresser’s groundbreaking book, The Paleo Cure, Chris offers his unique solution — a 3-step plan that will fit your body, your lifestyle and your specific health issues. Start by following the basic paleo plan for 30 days and enjoy a satisfying diet of lean meat, fish, non-starchy vegetables, some fruit, nuts and seeds but avoid grains, dairy, sugar and refined foods. After this 30-day plan, Chris helps you re-introduce certain foods in moderation to find out what agrees with you and what doesn’t. So what are you waiting for? You can enjoy life more, look slimmer and feel more vital. And because Chris advocates an 80/20 approach — we all have to live in the real world after all — you can still enjoy your favourite treats from time to time.
