Today’s post is a mish-mash of recent doings, upcoming events and cool news you might have missed.

Foundations of Nutrition Workshop Events

First, thank you to Sumner CrossFit and Studio 138 for bringing us such an awesomely fun crowd yesterday. We had a fantastic time, and hope everyone who attended had a great time too. You can see pictures from our event on the Whole9 Facebook page (www.facebook.com/whole9).

Our next event is a weekend-long fun-fest at CrossFit Bowie (just outside of Baltimore, MD).  We’ll be presenting our full-day Nutrition event on Saturday, August 26th, with Dutch Lowy coming in for the second day (advanced topic) Trainers workshop on Sunday the 27th.  Click on these links to see more information about our Foundations event and Trainers event (and register before our early bird discount expires).

Whole9 Featured on the Yahoo! Home Page

Second, did you see we were quoted in a Paleo article on the Yahoo! home page this week? The article, while not a glowing recommendation of the Paleo diet, mentioned our Paleo Pitch in a very flattering light. (And we’ll take whatever help we can get spreading the Good Food Word.) From the article:

Cordain is joined by thousands of others who have found similar success on the Paleo — with the site Whole9 providing perhaps the best description of the benefits, saying:

“Eating like this is good for maintaining a healthy metabolism, and reducing inflammation within the body. It’s been doing great things for my energy levels, body composition and performance in the gym. It also helps to minimize my risk for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack and stroke.”

Family Time This Week

Finally, Dallas and Melissa will be spending time with familiy time in BC this week. We’ll have limited access to email and our computers, so keep each other company on our Facebook pages, Twitter and comments around here. We’ll be back just in time for the Ancestral Health Symposium on August 5th and 6th, where we’ll be rolling out our MealSimple™ template to the public for the very first time. (And yes, we’ll be sharing our poster presentation with our readers here on the site, too!)

Thanks to all for reading, supporting and making our community one of the healthiest, happiest and funnest (is that even a word?) on the internet. Have a great week, all! M&D
