I posted this on the website, but I realized that isn’t where I should to to reach you…
Hello Richard and Carl,
I was wondering if one or both of you would be willing and have the time to be interviewed on another podcast.
To explain.,. I listen to The Survival Podcast by Jack Spirko on a regular basis. It is a daily podcast. Once a week, Jack has an “expert council” segment where the listeners ask questions of a group of people who are “experts” in their fields. On the podcast for September 1st, Gary Collins (who wrote the Primal Power Method… basically a book about why a Paleo diet is better than the standard American diet) was asked what the difference is between Paleo and Keto. His response left me shouting protests at my phone. He was so condescending toward Keto and it’s practitioners I could not let it go. Jack has a huge listening audience, and it just hurts my heart to think how many of his listeners would take Gary’s comments to heart and not do any further research on their own. I don’t think Gary is malicious, just mis-informed. And promoting Paleo is a big part of his income.
A few weeks ago Jack was talking about depression and suicide, and I had been contemplating reaching out to him to suggest Keto can actually help these issues. After Gary’s response, I think you guys could do a much better job explaining this than I can. I did post in the comments of the podcast notes and I tried to explain where Gary is mistaken, and I did refer everyone to look at the science on your science page, and to listen to your podcast.
Jack does talk to guests once a week, and I know he has a form online to fill out if you want to be a guest. I am asking… begging… please… if there is any way you can fit an interview with Jack into your schedule, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider doing so. I think it would do so much good to let his audience know of yet another resource for healthy living. Some of his audience worry about things like what happens when there is no medical intervention for things like diabetes in a disaster situation… knowing there are things they can proactively do to prevent or reverse that would be so valuable to them.
Here is the link to Jack’s guest sign up page:
I think it would be amazing for 100,000+ listeners to hear your message clearly.
Thank you
