    I cannot recommend Peter Ballerstedt highly enough!!! He has dedicated his career to reshaping our understanding of nutrition, human health, and the vital role of animal source foods, and is an expert on the topic of “Regenerating Public Health: Bridging the Gap Between Metabolic Health and Ruminant Agriculture.”
    With a background in forage science and extensive experience in the agricultural industry, Peter brings a unique perspective to the ongoing conversation surrounding metabolic health and sustainable food systems. As the President of the American Forage and Grassland Council and an esteemed speaker at numerous national and international events, Peter is a leading advocate for ruminant animal agriculture and for the essential role of animal source foods in the human diet.
    Here is a great PubMed article for your consideration: “Small Ruminants and Its Use in Regenerative Medicine: Recent Works and Future Perspectives” Small Ruminants and Its Use in Regenerative Medicine: Recent Works and Future Perspectives - PMC
    Thank you!
