If you follow this blog, you know that we were honored to have Dr. Sanjay Gupta and his producer extraordinaire Danielle Dellorto visit us at our home the other week. We spent almost four hours together making food and talking about my story, fitness, ultraman, general wellness and my plant-based diet. I have to say, it was a pretty awesome experience.
The original plan was that I would be featured on Dr. Gupta’s “Human Factor” segment of his weekend show.
Then came the cholera outbreak in Haiti. And off went Danielle and Sanjay to do what they do best – real work. Respect.
Anyway, the outbreak changed the plan a bit. But all in all I think its going to be great. According to Danielle – who remarkably took the time to email me from Haiti if you can believe it – a short truncated version of the interview will air as follows, starting tomorrow morning:
TUESDAY OCT. 26: During the 8:00am (EST?) hour of the “American Morning” Program;
FRIDAY OCT. 29: Every other hour throughout the day on both CNN and HLN; and
SAT / SUN OCT. 30-31: Peridically throughout the weekend on various CNN shows.
In addition, the expanded / longer version of the interview will be featured as a block on an upcoming edition of Sanjay’s weekend show. Not sure about the air date / time of this, but I will keep you posted.
And when the segment(s) are posted to CNN.com I will share the links.
Anyway, I am very excited about this! I hope you can find the time to tune in.
What an inspiration you are. I’m in exactly the same boat you were in. 40, and +50 overweight. As a 20+ year vegetarian, I’m inspired by the segment I saw on CNN. You have a fan!
