Ancestral Health Symposium: lots of useful links
I’ve started writing a couple of posts. I’m particularly interested as a nutritionist, in the application of some of the science I heard at ancestral nutrition.
In the meantime, I’ve been jumping all over the internet / blogging world getting trapped into reading one fascinating post after another, most from the amazing smart folks who were either at the symposium or presenting at it.
I’m a bit of an information gatherer by nature, and I like to pull stuff together so I’ve got it in one place. So I’ve done a bit of ‘pulling it all together’ of links for AHS presenters. Things like their blogs, published books and articles, pubmed links and the videos & slides from AHS. (Not finished yet, but here is the start – I’ll plug away at this over the next few days)
Here goes:
