(NaturalNews) In recent years updated research has rediscovered something that our grandparents and great-grandparents seemed to know instinctively: that good, wholesome, fresh, organic foods are healthier, even if they contain some fat. Our forefathers knew that not all "fat" was "bad fat."

Indeed, as noted by Health.com, picking the right fats to consume is actually better for your heart. "Too many of us cut fat willy-nilly and replace it with refined carbs, so we miss out on the benefits of healthy fats," the site notes.

But there's more, much more. As we have previously reported, healthy high-fat diets consisting of fish, coconut oil and other healthy fats may even stem the aging process and lead to better brain health.

All of this and more is no secret to Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, an expert in healthy eating and healthy fats. Dr. Mark is one of dozens of natural and homeopathic health and nutrition experts invited to speak at the Natural Medicine Summit taking place online March 14–22, as part of a free symposium aimed at presenting information that will make you feel younger, reverse the disease process and live better.

As director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, he knows there is a great deal of misinformation going around about fat, as well as what it takes to create more energy and lose weight naturally.

As noted on his website, Dr. Mark says he not only believes that everyone deserves a life of vitality, but that we are all capable of creating it for ourselves. That principle underscores his focus on Functional Medicine, which he notes can fundamentally transform healthcare.

Dr. Mark and his team "work every day to empower people, organizations, and communities to heal their bodies and minds, and improve our social and economic resilience," the site notes.

A practicing family physician and best-selling author, Dr. Mark not only works with individuals, but also organizations, policymakers and others who influence healthcare. In addition, he is as an adviser and guest co-host on The Dr. Oz Show, and is on the board of Dr. Oz's HealthCorps, which tackles the obesity epidemic by educating American students about nutrition.

Besides Dr. Mark's presentation, "Separating Fat from Fiction," more than two dozen other health experts will present information about how you can customize your diet for your personal biochemistry so you can lose weight and keep it off for life; how to integrate graceful aging strategies into your daily schedule; secrets to brain health and how your changing brain can also change your life; and much more.
