What You’ll Learn at the SexyBack Summit

If you enjoyed the Paleo Summit, or last year's Real Food Summit, you’ll be excited to hear about this year’s summit. This year, it’s all about natural sexual health, with Sean Croxton’s FREE SexyBack Summit!

SexyBack Summit

Instead of solving problems with pills, the SexyBack summit is going to explore natural ways of solving sexual health related issues. For women, issues like PMS, frequent UTIs, yeast infections, fertility, or even a non-existent libido will be addresses – and for men low testosterone, high estrogen, E.D. and a dwindling sex drive will be explored. Balancing hormones, nutrition and fitness are all going to be covered. As people are reluctant to talk about a lot of these issues, they don’t seek help and let these issues remain needlessly. Well, not anymore!

If you missed out on last year’s presentations, here’s how the summit works… Sean has put together 24 presentations (videos you can watch at home, with slideshows). The talks are hosted by all different experts, including by Chris Kresser, Dr. Sara Gottfried, Paul Check, Jane Bennett, Dave Asprey, Alisa Vitti, Elliot Hulse and Dr. Jen Landa. From the first day of the summit on the 19th of May, until the last day on the 26th of May, there will be three to four new videos everyday. The videos are free for you to watch for 24 hours, before they’re replaced with the next days scheduled videos. So you can watch the entire event – and all 24 presentations – completely free of charge!

If you want to reserve your free spot on the SexyBack summit, just click here to register! You’ll also get access to some (free) advanced videos that are showing now.

Why Sexual Health Deserves a Natural Approach

Sexual health is often treated as a taboo topic, yet it plays a vital role in our overall wellbeing. When hormones are imbalanced, or stress levels are high, libido and fertility are often the first things to suffer. While mainstream solutions tend to involve pharmaceutical interventions, the SexyBack Summit shines a light on more natural, sustainable ways to restore sexual vitality for both men and women. And it's about more than just intimacy — it's about energy, confidence, sleep, hormonal harmony, and long-term reproductive health.

Modern life places heavy demands on our bodies. Poor food choices, lack of sleep, overtraining, and environmental toxins all contribute to hormonal disruption. When you pair that with the tendency to avoid talking about sexual concerns, it’s easy to see why so many people suffer in silence. The SexyBack Summit creates a safe and empowering space to change that narrative.

What You’ll Learn at the SexyBack Summit

This summit covers a wide range of topics that address the root causes of sexual health challenges. With a line-up of respected speakers from integrative health, fitness, and nutritional backgrounds, the event is packed with actionable, real-world advice. Some of the key themes include:

  • How nutrition directly impacts testosterone, estrogen, and libido
  • Natural strategies for overcoming PMS, PCOS, and fertility struggles
  • How chronic stress and cortisol imbalances undermine sexual health
  • The link between gut health, inflammation, and hormone disruption
  • Safe biohacking tools to support natural libido and vitality
  • Fitness strategies that boost sexual performance without exhausting your body

Unlike the quick fixes promoted by the pharmaceutical industry, these sessions are focused on root-cause solutions — which is exactly what Paleo and ancestral health are all about.

Expert Speakers Bringing the Science to Life

The summit features some of the most forward-thinking names in the health world. Whether you're familiar with the presenters or just getting started, you're sure to gain new insights from their personal approaches and practical tips.

  • Chris Kresser: Brings his deep expertise in functional medicine to explore the nutritional roots of hormone imbalances.
  • Dr. Sara Gottfried: A Harvard-trained gynaecologist who offers a holistic approach to female hormones and libido.
  • Dave Asprey: Known for his work in performance and biohacking, he shares tools for boosting energy, drive, and focus naturally.
  • Paul Chek: An expert in integrative health and movement, offering insights on how physical strength and mental clarity impact sexuality.
  • Alisa Vitti: Author of “WomanCode”, discussing practical ways to sync your diet and exercise with your menstrual cycle for better energy and libido.

Whether you're interested in the science of hormones, the psychology of intimacy, or the physical practices that support a thriving sex life, there’s a session designed to meet you where you’re at.

Designed for Both Men and Women

Many events on sexual health are gender-specific, but the SexyBack Summit takes a refreshing, inclusive approach. While some talks are tailored specifically for men or women, the underlying principles of hormone regulation, stress resilience, and real-food nutrition apply universally.

For women, topics like oestrogen dominance, adrenal fatigue, and cyclical energy patterns are explained with practical tips for reclaiming vitality. For men, there are powerful insights into optimising testosterone, improving cardiovascular fitness, and managing modern-day stress without burning out.

How the Summit Format Works

The summit runs from the 19th to the 26th of May. Each day, three to four expert-led video presentations will be released. You’ll have a full 24 hours to view each session for free before the next set of videos becomes available. This rolling schedule ensures you’re never overwhelmed, and you can absorb the content at your own pace, from the comfort of home.

There’s also a library of bonus preview videos available right now when you register, so you can start diving into the content even before the summit officially begins.

Why This Matters for the Paleo Community

The principles of Paleo — ancestral health, clean nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management — are all deeply intertwined with sexual wellbeing. When you nourish your body with whole foods, balance your circadian rhythms, and move intentionally, hormone function improves. The SexyBack Summit reinforces and expands on these ideas, helping attendees refine their approach for optimal hormonal health.

Whether you’re dealing with specific symptoms or just curious about optimising your energy and wellbeing, this summit is a natural extension of the Paleo lifestyle. It’s empowering, evidence-based, and designed to spark conversations about topics that too often stay hidden.

It’s Free — But Only for a Limited Time

Because the summit is free to attend in real time, it’s worth registering even if you’re not sure how many sessions you’ll get to. You can watch as many or as few as you like each day — and if a particular topic resonates with you, you’ll have the option to purchase lifetime access later on. But the best value is to watch as much as you can during the free window.

Whether you’re tuning in to better understand your hormones, support a partner, or simply take proactive steps towards better health, the SexyBack Summit is an invaluable resource. There’s never been a better time to learn, explore, and reconnect — naturally.

Which Paleo Event Are You Going To Next?

Having been to many Paleo events, and being involved in some of the Paleo meetup groups, I highly recommend putting some events into your calendar!

When you eat differently to your friends and family, an evening out with like minded people can make all the difference in terms of encouragement and support. I also find local events are the best way to find out about places to eat – and where other locals buy their Paleo supplies from.

Head over to the brand new What's On page, where you'll find all of the Paleo events going on where you live – and around the World. Some events are definitely worth travelling for!

The best way to attend Paleo events is to sign up to a meetup group in your area. If there isn't a meetup group yet, then it's easy to create your own (and if you do, please come back and tell me about it, so I can add your events to the Paleo calendar!)

There are so many events scheduled now. From big, formal conferences, lectures and symposiums – to small casual after work dinners, in local Paleo friendly restaurants, there is something for everyone. Our local Sydney Paleo meetup group has organised barbecues, picnics, pot lucks and dinners. The Melbourne group have regular classes to teach you how to make your owned fermented foods. As Paleo continues to get more and more popular, we should see even more Paleo events in the calendar.

The Paleo Calendar features all of the events in Australia (there are now ten Paleo meet-up groups in the country, at least one in every state!), New Zealand (Auckland and Wellington), the UK (London, Birmingham & Milton Keynes), Canada (Toronto) and of course America (there are LOTS of events and meetup groups in the USA!). If I'm missing your event or meetup group, please let me know!

Why Attending Paleo Events Is So Valuable

It’s one thing to follow a Paleo lifestyle on your own — but connecting with others who share your passion for real food and optimal health can take your commitment to the next level. Whether you're new to Paleo or a seasoned ancestral eater, surrounding yourself with like-minded people can offer fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and a real sense of community that simply can’t be replicated online.

At in-person events, you’ll find people who understand your perspective, share tips and stories, and offer practical support. If you’re feeling isolated or challenged by unsupportive friends or family, even a short evening meetup can be just what you need to feel re-energised and inspired.

The Types of Paleo Events to Look Out For

The Paleo calendar is packed with an incredible variety of events to suit every interest and schedule. Here are some of the most popular formats:

  • Picnics and Potlucks: A relaxed, social setting where everyone brings a Paleo-friendly dish to share. It’s a fantastic way to discover new recipes and try dishes you might not cook yourself.
  • Cooking Workshops: Learn practical skills like fermenting, batch cooking, bone broth preparation, and Paleo baking. These are especially popular in cities like Melbourne and Auckland.
  • Dinner Meetups: Meet after work at a local Paleo-friendly restaurant to chat and connect. Many groups choose venues that are willing to adapt to dietary needs.
  • Guest Speakers and Seminars: Learn from experts in the fields of nutrition, movement, stress, and ancestral health. These events often attract larger crowds and offer opportunities for Q&A and networking.
  • Fitness-Focused Events: CrossFit throwdowns, nature hikes, yoga in the park — it’s not all about food! Movement is a key part of Paleo, and some groups combine workouts with shared meals or recovery activities.

Travel-Worthy Paleo Conferences

Some Paleo events are so content-rich and well-produced that they’re worth travelling for. Annual conferences often bring together top names in the ancestral health world for several days of presentations, panel discussions, cooking demos, and social events. Previous conferences have featured talks from leading experts on topics like gut health, autoimmune recovery, evolutionary fitness, fasting, and hormone optimisation.

Attending one of these larger events gives you the chance to meet Paleo advocates from around the world, browse natural product stalls, and participate in immersive learning experiences. If you’ve been craving deeper knowledge or want to broaden your perspective, these conferences deliver real value.

Making the Most of Your Local Paleo Community

If you're lucky enough to have a meetup group nearby, make the effort to attend a few events — especially the casual ones. You’ll likely find that everyone is welcoming, whether you’ve been Paleo for years or just started eliminating gluten last week. These events aren't about perfection; they’re about shared goals, good food, and encouragement.

Don’t hesitate to bring a friend or partner, even if they don’t follow a Paleo diet. Many people become curious (and supportive!) after attending a single event and tasting how good real food can be. Plus, it can help bridge the gap between your lifestyle and your social circle.

Starting a Paleo Meetup Group in Your Area

No meetup group in your town yet? Why not be the one to start it? It’s easier than you might think. Begin by creating a group on Meetup.com, Facebook, or even through your local community centre or gym. Start small — a coffee catch-up or weekend walk — and see where it leads.

People are often just waiting for someone else to make the first move. Once word spreads, you may be surprised by how many others are eager to connect and contribute. If you do launch a new group, be sure to let me know so I can add your events to the Paleo calendar and help you attract more members.

Tips for Hosting a Successful Paleo Event

If you’re organising an event — whether it’s your first or your fiftieth — here are a few ideas to make it a hit:

  • Choose a theme: A specific focus (like gut health, fermented foods, or primal movement) makes events more engaging and educational.
  • Create a welcome space: Make sure new attendees feel included. Nametags, introductions, and icebreakers can help ease nerves.
  • Ask for input: Let your members suggest topics, venues, or formats. The more involved people feel, the more likely they are to show up and contribute.
  • Use social media: Share photos, success stories, and upcoming event details to create excitement and grow your community.
  • Keep it simple: You don’t need to plan a full-on seminar every time. A walk, a meal, or a coffee meet-up is enough to bring people together.

Why Paleo Events Are More Important Than Ever

In a world that often normalises fast food, sedentary routines, and chronic stress, connecting with others who value a different way of living is deeply motivating. These events offer more than just conversation and recipes — they reinforce the belief that health, vitality, and real food are worth prioritising.

Whether you attend a casual beach picnic, join a local kombucha brewing workshop, or fly interstate for a weekend conference, every event helps expand the Paleo movement — and makes this way of living more visible, accessible, and supportive for others on the path.

What’s Coming Up Near You?

Head over to the What’s On page now to see what’s happening near you — or wherever your next trip takes you. With events listed across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, and the USA, you’ll always find something exciting on the horizon.

And remember: Paleo isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about connection, community, and building a life that supports true wellness. So go ahead — block out a date in your calendar, invite a friend, and come along to your next local event. You might just find your tribe.

Announcing The Real Food Summit

After the fantastic Paleo Summit a few months ago, Sean Croxton is about to launch another health conference – the Real Food Summit. This is aimed at anyone interested in real, whole food and is free to attend.

There are so many great speakers I’m really looking forward to learning from, including:

Chris Kresser talking about the importance of fish and seafood
Paul Check on how eating whole foods impacts your mind, body, and soul
Jeffrey Smith on genetically modified foods
Mark McAfee talking about how raw milk can heal a broken immune system
Chris Masterjohn on the nutritional wisdom of Weston A. Price

There are a total of 27 video presentations that will be free to watch during the nine-day summit, by different speakers on many different topics. The Real Food Summit starts in a few days time, on Sunday 8th July (AKA Monday 9th July for those of us in Australia).

Pre-register here if you’re interested in attending the free event – and as an extra bonus everyone who pre-registers will receive a presentation by real food farmer and activist Joel Salatin called “Real Food Defined”

I think this will be a great summit to attend for those already into Paleo, but also to share with those friends and family interested in Paleo, but not quite ready to change their diets…

Why Online Summits Like This Matter

With so much conflicting information about health, nutrition, and wellness online, events like the Real Food Summit offer a much-needed opportunity to hear from credible experts in one place. The lineup includes experienced practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders who bring both scientific understanding and real-world insights. Whether you’re just starting your journey into clean eating or you're a seasoned Paleo veteran, there's always more to learn and apply to your own lifestyle.

What makes this kind of summit particularly valuable is the diversity of perspectives. You’ll find talks focused on ancestral diets, gut health, metabolic healing, sustainable farming, and food politics — all presented in an accessible way that’s grounded in practical advice. With speakers from different backgrounds, you'll get a more well-rounded understanding of how real food affects not just your physical health, but your mental wellbeing and the planet too.

How to Make the Most of the Real Food Summit

If you're planning to attend, there are a few ways you can get the most value out of the summit:

  • Schedule time to watch – With 27 presentations available over nine days, it helps to look at the schedule in advance and block out time to tune in. Even setting aside 30–60 minutes per day will help you absorb more.
  • Take notes – Jot down your key takeaways, favourite quotes, and ideas you'd like to research more. This can be especially useful if you want to implement new strategies into your Paleo lifestyle.
  • Share with others – If a particular talk resonates with you, consider sharing it with friends or family. It could be a great conversation starter and a gentle way to introduce others to real food principles.
  • Engage with the speakers – Many of the presenters are active online and welcome discussion. If something stood out to you or raised a question, reach out to them via their social media or websites for further engagement.

Spotlight on Key Topics to Watch

With such a wide-ranging lineup, it’s helpful to keep an eye on the sessions most relevant to your goals. For example:

  • Chris Kresser’s presentation on seafood is ideal if you’re trying to include more nutrient-dense marine foods in your diet. He’s known for explaining complex science in a way that’s easy to understand.
  • Jeffrey Smith’s talk on GMOs is especially timely in Australia, as consumer awareness around food labelling and genetically modified ingredients continues to grow.
  • Paul Chek’s discussion about the emotional and spiritual effects of eating whole food may resonate if you’re exploring the mind-body connection or holistic health approaches.

Other speakers cover everything from the gut microbiome to hormone health, making this a uniquely comprehensive experience. Whether you're curious about intermittent fasting, fermented foods, or natural immunity, you'll find sessions that spark your interest and deepen your understanding.

Real Food vs. Processed Convenience

The summit also offers a valuable counterpoint to the modern food environment. Despite growing awareness, ultra-processed convenience food continues to dominate supermarket shelves and marketing campaigns. Events like this challenge the narrative that quick, cheap food must come at the expense of health.

Instead, you’ll hear about the value of returning to traditional food preparation methods — from slow-cooked broths and fermented vegetables to sourcing ingredients locally and seasonally. These ideas align closely with the Paleo framework, where food is chosen for its nutritional quality, not its packaging or shelf life.

Who Will Benefit from Attending?

While the Real Food Summit is a fantastic resource for those already living a Paleo or ancestral lifestyle, it’s also a gentle introduction for friends or family members who are curious but hesitant. Unlike some stricter diet approaches, the summit embraces a wide interpretation of “real food” that welcomes a variety of preferences and starting points.

For example, someone interested in organic produce or reducing sugar might enjoy talks by Sarah Ballantyne or Mark McAfee, while someone keen on learning how diet influences mood and sleep could be drawn to more holistic sessions. It’s a good idea to share the registration link with others and perhaps even watch a few sessions together to prompt discussion and reflection.

Supporting the Real Food Movement

By attending events like this and sharing what you learn, you're contributing to a much broader shift in how we think about health and food. The more people who demand transparency, nutrition, and sustainability in what they eat, the more likely we are to see meaningful change in food systems, policy, and education.

Many of the summit's speakers are also directly involved in activism, regenerative agriculture, and public health initiatives — so your attention and support help amplify their message. You might even come away inspired to start a garden, join a local co-op, or advocate for better food choices in your own community.

Looking Beyond the Summit

Once the event wraps up, it’s worth taking some time to revisit your notes and see what you want to integrate into your life. That could mean experimenting with new recipes, sourcing different types of food, or simply being more mindful of how you eat. Some presentations will likely offer replays or transcripts, especially if you register early, so make sure you access everything you can while it’s available.

If the summit energises you, keep an eye out for follow-up events or related conferences. Many of the presenters run their own workshops, podcasts, or online communities — a great way to stay connected and keep your momentum going.

Why Attending Paleo Events Matters More Than Ever

With the explosion of interest in ancestral health, real food nutrition, and sustainable living, Paleo-focused events are starting to pop up all over Australia and New Zealand. And while online communities, podcasts, and blogs are an incredible way to learn and stay inspired, there’s something uniquely powerful about stepping into a room filled with people who share your passion for wellness.

Whether it's a hands-on workshop about fermenting vegetables, a lecture series on the role of sleep in hormone regulation, or an expo featuring grass-fed beef producers — these in-person events offer something the internet simply can't replicate: connection, community, and practical, real-time learning.

What Types of Paleo Events Are Popping Up?

If you’re just getting started with Paleo or are looking to level up your lifestyle, here are the types of events you’ll want to keep an eye on:

🥩 Local Food Festivals & Farmers Markets

These are often where you’ll find ethical meat producers, regenerative farmers, and artisanal food makers who align with the values of the Paleo lifestyle. It’s a brilliant opportunity to speak directly with the people who raise your meat or grow your veg – and you’ll often find specialty products like bone broth, tallow, and organ meats not typically available in supermarkets.

🎓 Health & Nutrition Seminars

Talks on the microbiome, circadian biology, hormone balance, or functional approaches to health can give you a fresh perspective and help you navigate your own wellness journey. Speakers often include integrative GPs, naturopaths, or independent researchers.

💪 Movement & Fitness Workshops

Whether it’s barefoot running clinics, primal movement workshops, or functional fitness sessions – many Paleo-aligned events incorporate movement into the mix. These workshops often focus on mobility, natural range of motion, or bodyweight strength (instead of endless reps on gym machines).

🛌 Sleep, Stress & Recovery Seminars

The importance of sleep in ancestral health can't be overstated. You’ll often find events diving into practical tips for optimising circadian rhythm, melatonin production, and nervous system regulation – all essential for fat loss, focus, and longevity.

🧂 Cooking Demos & Meal Planning

Cooking real food from scratch is central to Paleo – but for many of us, it can feel overwhelming. That’s where cooking demonstrations, fermenting masterclasses, or batch-cooking meal prep events can provide loads of inspiration.

🐄 Agricultural & Livestock Expos

Surprisingly, these can be a goldmine of Paleo-friendly insight. You’ll meet regenerative farmers, discover local grass-fed and pastured meat suppliers, and learn more about ethical and sustainable food systems. Look out for events like the Australia Beef Expo, or smaller field days held regionally.

Upcoming Paleo-Relevant Events to Watch For

Here are some of the event categories and locations to keep your eye on:

NSW: Sydney, Newcastle, Byron Bay

  • Health expos often run at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Sydney.
  • Byron Bay is a hotspot for wellness retreats with ancestral health themes.
  • Local Meetup groups in Newcastle and Sydney often organise Paleo potlucks or hiking groups.

VIC: Melbourne, Geelong, Mornington Peninsula

  • Melbourne’s thriving wellness scene means you’ll regularly find low-tox living expos, natural food markets, and primal fitness workshops.
  • The Mornington Peninsula often hosts holistic retreats, particularly around gut health and nervous system regulation.

QLD: Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast

  • Brisbane is home to several functional medicine practitioners who run regular seminars on food as medicine and hormone health.
  • The Sunshine Coast boasts multiple organic farming tours and surf-inspired primal retreats.
  • Look for expos at the Brisbane Convention Centre or Noosa Wellness Festival.

ACT: Canberra

  • As the home of government and policy, Canberra hosts some fantastic science-based nutrition talks and professional development days – occasionally open to the public.
  • Paleo-friendly health food stores often post in-person tasting sessions and talks.

How to Find Events Near You

If you’re not already in the loop, here are some tips for finding out what’s happening:

  • Set Google Alerts for keywords like “Paleo event Sydney” or “ancestral health Australia”.
  • Join local Facebook groups: Try searching for “Paleo Melbourne”, “Real Food Brisbane”, or “Primal Australia”.
  • Follow local producers on Instagram: Grass-fed meat suppliers, kombucha makers, and organic farms often post upcoming appearances or market days.
  • Check community boards at your local health food store, CrossFit gym, or farmers market.
  • Eventbrite and Meetup are both great platforms to search for niche, local wellness events.

Why These Events Are Crucial for the Paleo Movement

One of the criticisms Paleo often receives is that it’s an elite or restrictive diet. But in person, at these events, you see the diversity of people it benefits. From busy mums and overworked tradies to former vegans and naturopaths – the Paleo community is full of people who’ve taken health into their own hands.

Paleo events allow you to:

  • Connect with like-minded people who get it when you say you avoid seed oils or ferment your own kraut
  • Try new foods in a low-pressure, supportive environment
  • Hear experts clarify common misconceptions about saturated fat, insulin, cholesterol, or ancestral diets
  • Get hands-on experience preparing nourishing meals or trying new movement modalities
  • Ask questions in real time that you can’t always get answered in a blog comment thread

Let’s Build the List: Know an Event? Share It!

Right now, some regions are under-represented – particularly WA, SA, NT, TAS and New Zealand. If you know of a local event that would interest the Paleo crowd, I’d love to add it to the list. Whether it’s a seasonal market with great grass-fed meat, a surf retreat serving whole food meals, or a seminar by a nutritionist debunking modern food myths – if it supports ancestral health, it belongs here.

Email me, tag me on Instagram, or drop the details in the comments below. Let’s keep this list growing so we can all discover new opportunities to learn, connect, and thrive.

Final Thought

Living a Paleo lifestyle isn’t just about what’s on your plate – it’s also about who’s at your table. Surrounding yourself with others who value real food, movement, quality sleep, and stress reduction is one of the most powerful things you can do to stay on track.

So don’t wait for an event to find you – go looking for it. And when you find a great one, tell us all about it.

Let’s keep the Paleo community strong, curious, and connected – one event at a time.
