Calling all Physicians – Ancestral Health Retreat 2016

retreat banner

The Physicians & Ancestral Health annual retreat is around the corner. The three day conference is scheduled Jan 21st-23rd at the Saguaro hotel in sunny Scottsdale Arizona. I’m a board member and personally want to invite all physicians, MDs, DOs, medical students, equivalents and Primal Docs physicians to our fourth annual international event. We have an amazing line-up of speakers (official schedule below) including two keynotes:

Michael Eades, MD – Keynote speaker is co-author of 14 books including Protein Power and blogger.

Randolph M. Nesse, MD – Keynote speaker is a professor of Life Sciences, director of ASU Center for Evolution and Medicine, foundation professor and President of the International Society of Evolution, Medicine and Public Health.

Darryl Edwards, MSc – The Fitness Explorerauthor and founder of Health Unplugged will be presenting and offering primal play and movement sessions.

Our program will be eligible for AAFP Prescribed Credit. AAFP Prescribed Credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed credit, not as Category 1.

For those of you interested to attend the retreat, we are also requesting you become a member of our organization. Benefits of membership include: support for incorporating ancestral principles in your practice, resources for your patients, private forum for open discussion, ongoing conferences and retreats, like-minded friends with a shared experience and goals.

All potential, previous and current members please follow this link; Winter Retreat 2016 registration & membership for sign-up. Seats are still available.

Saturday afternoon and evening January 23rd are set aside for informal and fun activities around town. We look forward to seeing you there!

To better health for you and your patients,

Dr. Jeff
