Summary
My short talk from Real Food Rocks in the UK - #RFR19.
VIDEO PODCAST WITH SLIDES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi_f9Z1rc7o&feature=youtu.be
Big thanks to Dr. David and Jennifer Unwin for an amazing event with ~700 people in attendance in Brathay Hall Estate, Lake District. Due to constraints in the room size, in the the end I had to deliver the talk three times over the course of the day, and each time there was standing room only (see pic below :-). It was really great to see so many people wanting to take control of their heart health.
Hope you enjoy, and remember that you gotta "Know Your Score!"
