A huge thanks to Robb Wolf and Nicki Violetti for an outstanding Paleolothic Solution Seminar yesterday.  Robb covered a tremendous amount of information ranging from endocrinology to nuerodegeneration to athletic performance and how we can affect it all with what we eat.  All of the information was conveyed in a digestible (sorry) and entertaining format, we even got to receive an advance copy of Robb's new book.  Earlier this week I spoke with someone who had attended this seminar last time around and he said it changed his life forever.  I'm positive many of the people who came out yesterday had similarly enlightening experiences.  The bottom line is that how we eat, sleep, manage stress and exercise can have profound effects on everything from our genetic expression to autoimmunity.   Understanding some of these mechanisms is the first step in making better life decisions in an intelligent and individualized fashion. Thanks, again, Robb!
