The Paleo Diet | Public Speaking

A Paleo Diet based on peer reviewed science detailed analysis of Paleolithic Nutrition



	Public Speaking

Requests for Public Speaking and Presentations

GENERAL: Dr. Loren Cordain frequently speaks to public, private, and scientific groups on the Paleo Diet concept and related topics. Typically, his PowerPoint slide presentations are 45-60 minutes in length and feature cutting-edge nutritional information generated by his research group as well as pertinent information from medicine and anthropology. Not only are Dr. Cordain's talks educational, but they are entertaining and feature early photographs of hunter-gatherers in the field, informative figures, and colorful graphs outlining the latest nutritional studies on diet and health.

SPECIFIC DETAILS: Dr. Cordain is available for speaking engagements throughout the year to public, private, and scientific groups. However, because of his busy work and travel schedule, requests should be made at least two months in advance. An honorarium, in addition to travel expenses, is required to arrange Dr. Cordain's appearance and presentation. Inquiries should be directed to The Paleo Diet webmaster: publicspeaking@thepaleodiet.com.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE: Please navigate to the Loren Cordain Profile Page for a detailed description of Dr. Cordain's accomplishments.
