Over 600 attended the inaugural Ancestral Health Symposium
We’re still away for a little while longer during my three-week sabbatical from working on my blog and podcast show. It’s been good to get away with the disappointing news about our failed embryo adoption and we are so grateful to everyone for their outpouring of love and support for us through this time. Christine and I have enjoyed just being together through this experience and contemplating where we go from here if we are to pursue having a family beyond the two of us. We’re becoming more and more comfortable with it just being us. We did have a couple more crazy things happen since I last blogged: my second-to-youngest cat Smokey was dead when we got home from Los Angeles this weekend and two of the tires on my car needed replacing. Life sometimes has a cruel way of reminding you it’s there. Trudging forward.
I’m excited about airing brand new episodes of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” in just a couple more weeks and we’ve got special back-to-back interviews to share every Monday and Thursday for the next few months. But since I thoroughly enjoyed my time attending the very first Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS) held on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, CA on August 5-6, 2011, I wanted to take some time to write this post to say hey to the new AHS friends I met last weekend and to invite them to take a listen to my interviews with the superstars of Paleo and low-carb living. I met so many of the biggest names in the Paleo/primal/low-carb universe as well as many of the biggest uber-fans of The LLVLC Show who shared with me how much they appreciate the information that is provided here week after week. It was gratifying to know my work is having such a direct impact on the lives of so many.
In fact, most of the speakers and people attending AHS have been on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” previously or will be in the upcoming months. Since I’ll still be away for a little while longer and I had a little bit of time today to squeeze in this post for you, I thought I’d compile a list of the podcast interviews for those who attended #AHS11 (the popular hashtag that was used during the live tweeting that took place during the event) who are pining to hear a little more in case you’re already having AHS withdrawals like I am.
So, if you wanna listen to my previous interviews with the AHS speakers and attendees or if you’d like to listen again after seeing them in LA, then check ’em out below. I assure you we’ll be back with brand new episodes beginning again on August 22, 2011 with a fabulous doubleheader to kick us back into high gear again featuring the raw vegan advocate Durianrider from “30 Bananas A Day” (yes, we FINALLY got it recorded!) and Don Matesz from “Primal Wisdom” who recently said “Farewell To ‘Paleo’.” That’s one episode you WON’T want to miss!
