A recap of the Life Extension Conference, with Dinner

Steve Fowkes recently attended – and spoke at – the Personalized Life Extension Conference in San Francisco and felt that it was the best conference he's been to in a decade. So, he's very excited to share the conference with you, to recap the highlights, mentioned below. Hopefully some of you who will join us at the table was at the conference, too, and will share your experiences, thoughts, inspirations.

Included in this extended discussion will be one of the take-aways from the conference: how to get the health benefits of fasting without hassle, pain, inconvenience and how to avoid negative consequences such as slowing down metabolism.

These fasting plans* include:
· total fasts: water only
· partial fasts: eating only fruit, or eating low carbs, or eating one meal a day
· daily fasts: eating only one high-carb meal per day
· weekly fasts: two high-carb meals per week, which is Steve's currently favored approach
· monthly or seasonal fasts: water or juice fasting, a more traditional approach

*Length of time for a fast can be everyday, once a week, multiple days per month or per season or per year, etc.

Also included will be discussions of genetic screening (23andMe), telomere schemes, methylation, antioxidants, testing (at-home and medical), heart rate variability, meditation and yoga, micronutrients, stem cells, and cryonics.

Cost:
The talk is $40 prepaid, or $50 at the door, per person, includes dinner. See payment options, below.

*Paleo = old, lithic = stone
“Paleo is a simple dietary lifestyle that is based on foods being either in or out. In are the Paleolithic Era foods that we ate prior to agriculture and animal husbandry (meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruit, berries, mushrooms, etc.). Out are Neolithic Era foods that result from agriculture or animal husbandry (grains, dairy, beans/legumes, potatoes, sugar and fake foods).”

A note from Joni about the Dialog Dinners

Hosting the Dialog Dinners brings me one step closer to having a restaurant, yet allows me to offer more….. a one-of-kind tasty healthy meal… and… having a featured guest, with a group discussion, enables a growing and learning experience in an intimate setting.

Through conversations like this people share interests and ideas, and shift happens. The guest speaker leads and facilitates the conversation at the dinner table, topics include: health, consciousness, exercise, environment and living.

This brings the experience of eating out and sharing dinner with others to a whole new level.

Join me for the Dialog Dinners in Cupertino and around the Bay Area. Please contact me to suggest and/or offer to be a featured guest and/or to host a Dialog Dinner.
