I’m hosting a Dialog Dinner with featured guest Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat. (www.garytaubes.com)
This event is for health professionals only, limited to 12 people so that an intimate and communal setting will be cultivated, expressed.
This event will be Monday evening, May 2nd in Silicon Valley. Gary will be speaking at Google (will be a Tech Talk guest) on that day, at noon, and will join me (us) at the table that evening.
$50, (this covers the food and overhead costs, staff and a bit of my time)
I will serve a 4-course paleolithic (grain free, slow carb, most all foods cooked from scratch) meal, with vegan option. …and will do my best to wow your senses with …
