Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

8

My list would include Michael Rose professor @ berkley in evolutionary biology, art deVany, Ray Kurzweil, Nir Barzilai, TS Wiley, Luis de Lecea are my images of who I'd like hear. Some more clinical ties would be great too. I love reading about Robb and marks success stories on their site. I use these with my own patients when they say it can't be done.

I think I'd pay a lot of cash to hear Matt Lalonde talk about dish detergent honestly......we need science and vision. Vision is incredibly important about where this movement chooses to go from here.

	Art would be great. I put a lot of weight on practicing what you preach, and Art puts his money where his mouth is. I'm always glad to hear from someone like that. – Householder Aug 16 2011 at 19:47
	Yes, I'd love to hear from Michael Rose, too. – Rose Aug 16 2011 at 21:00
	A. Scott Connelly, Drew Baye, Dorian Yates – Daniel Kirsner Sep 9 2011 at 6:36
	i didnt realize Ray Kurzweil was into ancestral health. i know he was super into supplements and antioxidants. – Anthony Pierre Jan 18 2012 at 15:17
	Ts Wiley is smart about sleep issues. Her Wiley Protocol for hormone replacement is questionable at best. And she has consistently misrepresented her academic credentials. – Dorado Galore Jan 18 2012 at 18:45

I'd absolutely love to see Kurt Harris.

Peter from Hyperlipid might be cool too.

I also like Chris Kresser.

Agree with these. I would add Ned Kock. Check out this post from about a week ago: healthcorrelator.blogspot.com/2011/08/… – Paul Aug 12 2011 at 22:45

Paul I mentioned that blog to several people at UCLA and sadly too few read it. Ned brings numbers to biology. The processes of biology are making a transition from being described by words and experiments only and now being defined by mathematics. The less mathematical our approach the longer it takes for us to change our minds and our dogma in medicine and biology. Words allow for self deception. Math provides allows for predictions that can be verified. See Galileo and Einstein my idols. This is the optic i see this situation. Ned would be a great speaker to wake the nerds up! – The Quilt Aug 13 2011 at 0:40

Definitely. I love his blog. I also forgot to mention Paul Jaminet. – mari Aug 13 2011 at 0:53

Great choices Mari ! Peter is sooo underrated (or just really busy) since I don't think he has been featured on any podcasts. – Ikco Aug 13 2011 at 10:46

I'd like to see someone who addresses the workplace issues of warehousing employees, providing them with copious amounts of caffeine and carbs, while btichin' and moaning about inflated health care costs and stressed out employees... There will be a huge strategic advantage for those companies who manage to stop viewing cafeterias as "cost centers" and start viewing them as "fuel centers".

I wouldn't be looking for a scientific view, rather a business strategic view of how to use food in the corporate environment as a strategic advantage, providing lower insurance costs, higher employee retention, and improved productivity.

Dare to dream.

Kurt Harris and Lierre Keith. I was really looking forward to seeing her at this year's AHS but she ended up not speaking.

A few outside-the-box thoughts: Jamie Oliver (on the politics of industrially processed foods in schools), Anthony Bourdain (on traditional diets in remote, barely civilized cultures), Richard Wrangham (on the role of cooking in human evolution), Greg Cochran (on the role of agriculture in human evolution), Mary Enig (on lipid biochemistry), David Kessler (on scientifically engineered food reward), and Megan Fox (on whatever she wants).

I should probably substitute Daphne Miller for Bourdain (on the same topic), but Bourdain has the greater star power. – maurile Aug 17 2011 at 16:57

I wish Jamie was less supportive of whole grains and legumes. He is seriously anti-saturated fat/pro-unsaturated with specific % of each. jamieshomecookingskills.com/pdfs/fact-sheets/… + 1000000 on His stance on processed foods. – AdrianaG Oct 25 2011 at 13:48

I've always liked Paul Jaminet's approach of specifically outlining the amounts of particular foods and supplements that one ought to take, and backing it up with sound research. Saying, "eat more organ meats" is nebulous compared to "eat a 1/4 lb of liver a week" (though I must say I think we should eat more than he does).

I also think the Jaminet's would be great, although their book was so thorough I don't know much else they'd have to say. There approach is my favorite, it outlines the upper and lower limits of everything and is great about not villainizing anything outside the neolithic evils. After reading their book everything seemed to come together for me. – Householder Aug 16 2011 at 19:46

Not a 100% Paleo guy, but Martin Berkhan might be great for the bodybuilding and IF crowd. Anthony Colpo (no idea on his diet leanings) is certainly influential to this community and well-researched. I think both could help bring in some unique perspectives.

	Doubtful that Berkhan would show up. He seems rather invested in his Internet Enfant Terrible persona. To put it mildly, he does not appear to "play well with others." – Dorado Galore Jan 18 2012 at 18:49

Will Allen - Urban Agriculture

Al Kavadlo - Urban movement - "move-urb"

Joel Salatin. - Permaculture.

Art DeVany.

i.e more practical, useful, hands on, less of the academic stuff. Some of the talks on the Vimeo page give me shudders, bad memories back to my days of university lectures.

also.

Michael Pollan -

Chriss Kresser.

Jamie Oliver - not exactly paleo but is steering the boat in the right direction.

Kurt Harris, Paul Jaminet, and Art DeVany. I admit, I wish I had known about AHS 11 before it sold out. Would love to see Denise Minger, Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson, Richard Nikoley, and Matt Lalonde too!

That's just my core list though, I'm sure I could add another 5-10 people to it if I could build the "ultimate paleo convention" list :)

Angelo Coppola! So good at seeing through the BS, getting the main messages across ("we're not broken by default"), spotting in mainstream news, and bringing people together. I think that if we're thinking of this as a "movement," then Angelo is our marketing guy.

I'd like to see John D. Speth and Richard Wrangham, or just more biological anthropologists in general.

This reminds me...as AHS grows how are they going to pick speakers? I bet competition will be fierce. Then again, there were people speaking this year who are known more for being low-carb than being paleo.

	I do think it will be very interesting to see how the speaker topics grow. So much of what we're discussing is related to diet, but the application of what we're learning could be so broad. – Marie Aug 16 2011 at 0:30
	Brent and Aaron will get it together. After year one they clearly got some feedback and are assessing it now as we speak. I also think adding a day is in the cards.....and getting paleo vendors in to offset costs is in the cards too. – The Quilt Aug 16 2011 at 0:30
