3) TV Interview in Nebraska
I had the privilege to make a number of presentations about childhood obesity to parents and healthcare professionals in Nebraska earlier this month. It was a “barnstorming” tour, as I spoke in North Platte, Lexington, Holdrege, Kearney, and Lincoln (7 talks in 3 days). Whew!
If you want to see a brief TV interview about my talk in North Platte, check it out here.
4) Internet TV Interview on His Brain, Her Brain
Barb and I were interviewed on the Internet TV show, Your Family Live, about our book, His Brain, Her Brain: How divinely designed differences can strengthen your marriage.
You can watch the archived show here. The theme of the show was “His Brain vs. Her Brain: Overcoming Differences in Marriage.”
We were interviewed by our friends Yvette Maher and Juli Slattery. Here’s the information on the show, from the show website:

Sometimes your spouse’s behavior leaves you baffled. It’s no secret God wired men and women differently but oftentimes these differences divide couples and drive marriages apart.

Join Your Family Live as Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore open your eyes to the mysteries of your other half. Learn how to turn these differences into strengths by improving your communication and understand your spouses’ unique emotional needs.

You can get a signed copy of His Brain, Her Brain: How divinely designed differences can strengthen your marriage here.

5) Broadcast about Miscarriage (kept over from last month)
Have you or a woman you love suffered a miscarriage?
Barb and I had the privilege of discussing our difficult journey through four miscarriages with Dr. James Dobson on his nationally-syndicated radio program, Family Talk, on Monday, May 9 and Tuesday May 10.
We were on with Dr. Dobson and another couple who have also walked this difficult road.
We were praying many would be impacted by our testimony. This is just one of the notes we received about the programs.

I listened to Dr Dobson’s program yesterday and I was so moved by your wife’s testimony and candid description of her emotions and strength that only God was able to give her during trying times.
Thank you for sharing and giving hope to many that experienced the pain of losing a baby.
Many blessings to both of you and I am so grateful the Lord gave me the opportunity to meet you and watch your kind and humble way of life.

If you listen to one or both programs, we’d love to hear your feedback about them:

• Miscarriage: Grieving the Loss – I
• Miscarriage: Grieving the Loss – II

Publishing Update
1) Guy Talk
ZonderKidz has begun to promote my book for young boys as they journey into and through adolescence.
The book, Guy Talk: Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body, is “coming March 2012.” You can read more about it here.

2) Article in Parent Guide News
I had an article, Super Sized Kids: Keeping our kids from heading down Overweight Boulevard, published in Parent Guide News. You can find the article here.
Also, in the article you can find my tongue-in-cheek section on “20 Habits That Can Super Size Your Kids.”
By the way, while supplies last, signed hard cover copies of my book, SuperSized Kids: How to protect your child from the obesity threat are available here.

3) Mentioned in the Phillipines
An article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer had this to say about me in an article on the abortifacient effect of the birth control pill:

… silent abortions caused by the use of the pill amount to deliberate killings of innocent lives. Dr. Walter Larimore, who for decades prescribed the pill, tried to disprove the claim that the pill is abortifacient, only to find 94 scientific studies proving that “postfertilization effects are operative to prevent clinically recognized pregnancy.” He published his findings in the scientific journal of the American Medical Association, and from then on stopped prescribing the pill.

It’s not 100% accurate, but it’s not a bad try at getting the facts out there. You can read the entire article here.
In addition, you can read some of my other articles on the birth control pill here:

• Postfertilization Effect of Hormonal Emergency Contraception
• Postfertilization effects of oral contraceptives and their relationship to informed consent.
• Postfertilization effect of hormonal emergency contraception.
• The Growing Debate About the Abortifacient Effect of the Birth Control Pill and the Principle of the Double Effect
• Postfertilization effects of oral contraceptives and their relationship to informed consent (Commentary).

4) Mentioned in Health Economist article
Those of you who follow my travels and travails have heard me mention my three to four times a year trips to the AMA’s RUC meetings. Now’s your opportunity to learn more about this highly technical group in an article titled, “The Growing Ruckus Over the RUC and Medicare Fees: Little-Known Rate-Setting Physicians’ Panel Draws Sharp Criticism” published in the Leonard Davis Institute’s Health Economist on June 23, 2011. You can find the article here.
