Sharpen your pencils and get ready to learn. The first ever Paleo Summit is taking place February 26 - March 3. What is the Paleo Summit? It is a series of presentations given on-line over the course of several days. Presented by Sean Croxton of Undergroundwellness.com, this summit is filled with presentations by some of the best known Paleo diet experts.

ancestral health will be:
