Paleo Pro Press and Podcasts: TV, Articles and Interviews Since 2017
Paleo Pro has shown up on local TV, in a MyFitnessPal recipe roundup and on three podcasts since 2017. One of the oldest we can still read is MyFitnessPal's "5 Easy Pumpkin Protein Powder Recipes," published 2017-10-23, which links to PaleoPro by name. Every entry below has a date and a link, and we say so when a link has died.
