(Above: My friend, Stephen Cheung, and me post-BIL:PIL) Stephen and I recently completed our Master of Health Administration (MHA) degrees at the University of Southern California (USC). Our final project for our MHA capstone course was a case study about leadership in a rural hospital scenario, and it will be published as a chapter (with an accompanying teacher's manual) in the upcoming 5th Edition of Cases in Health Services Management (2010).
Stephen and his girlfriend accompanied me to San Diego for BIL:PIL--we had a blast--and I presented (fittingly) on Halloween Day--the day that we celebrate our Sugar Mythology. I brought packs of almonds for everyone in attendance as my small effort to displace our toxic Sugar Mythology with a much healthier Ancestral Fitness my-thology.
I also passed out these two sets of awesome 'treats':
1) 3 copies of Mark Sisson's book, Primal Blueprint
Mark mailed me three copies of his wonderful book, and I gave them out during my talk to folks who named something primal or anti-primal in contemporary society (*see video below).
2) 3 copies of Seth Roberts' book, Shangri-La Diet
Seth mailed me three copies of his insightful book, and I gave them out during my talk to folks who named something that started small and then got big (*see video below).
BIL:PIL recorded my presentation in high-quality video format and will post it live on the Web soon, but in the meantime, here is the 'pirated' version that Stephen recorded on the spot, in the spirit of the un-conference format, of course!
Self-experimentation sets physiologies free.
Nutritional bricolage sets healthcare free.
Be human: tinker.
n=1 clinical trials.
Cheers to the BIL crew for organizing (spontaneous order at work) BIL:PIL and creating a warm, inviting thinkering (thinking + tinkering = thinkering) reflection and collaboration space for interdisciplinary inquiry into the Patient of One condition in the Information Age.
To good health,
Brent

"Our bodies are our chemistry flasks; the world is an open anthropology lab; and, the texture of life is much richer when we view each day as a positive Black Swan treasure hunt."
Cheers all around!
Best,
Brent
You are a very wise person. I think you will change many lives for the better during your lifetime.
Spectacular! What a lucky high schooler to get your tutelage and early positive influences...
Thanks, Jake and Dr. B G.
One patient/student/person at a time, one day at a time, we can all make a positive difference in each other's daily lives--everyone needs support, encouragement, and empowerment.
These little things accumulate into big things in time.
