As some of you noticed, I stopped recording the health and nutrition Namaste Nutritionist podcast in 2014. This was the result of simply too many priorities. My client practice ballooned by 400% in a few short months; I had foot surgery; I launched a new weight loss program; I was speaking professionally; and business was, shall we say, gloriously busy.

Before I knew it, I was behind in my recordings. At first, it looked like I could just catch up, as I was only a couple of recordings behind. But then, as time and demands marched on, I fell further and further behind. Weeks became months, and it became apparent that catching up was no longer the option. I had unintentionally abandoned my podcasting efforts.

Now, let me just say that it’s an honor to produce content that you find valuable and supportive of your health, happiness and nutrition goals. Let’s be honest: Keeping up with the blog, the podcast, recipes, social media, the newsletter are a lot of energy to maintain. It’s work that I produce at my own expense of time, money and energy, and I’m happy to do it. So long as it’s helping people.

So as you can see, there are a lot of demands to running a business. Despite this, I feel tremendously grateful for the opportunities to serve my people. I love serving you. Your interest and stories of improvement keep me motivated because I know that I’m making a difference. You keep me energized to continue sharing. Thank you for this.

Please accept my apologies in not publishing a podcast in the last ten months. If you’ve been reading my blog or my newsletter, you know that I’m still active. Going forward, here is the plan that will help keep podcasts easier to keep up on:

• You can expect the podcasts will be shorter - around 15-30 min.   I hope that shorter recordings will make them easier for you to consume, and faster for me to produce.There are some interviews I’ve already recorded that are around an hour, and those will be exceptions.

• You can anticipate about one - two podcasts per month. Sometimes, there may be more, and sometimes less.

• You will hear some interviews, and some podcasts with just me.

It’s really meaningful to hear from you, dear Listener. Do you have follow-up questions, or comments? How do you like the length? Anything you want to share with me, please share it on my Facebook page: NamasteNutritionist1. Or Twitter @FrancesLArnold. When you reach out and connect with me and my team, it keeps us going.

Namaste Nutritionist will continue to serve you by providing high-value content that addresses nutrition, lifestyle, and happiness. To receive these podcasts regularly, Make sure you’re subscribed in iTunes. Oh, and if you like the work, please share it with your friends and family.

This summer, I launched a recipe collection of many of my favorite meals. There are over 50 pages of recipes and health advice, inspired by my private sessions with clients. You can grab your free copy on the right-hand side bar. You can let your friends and family know about that too.

As always, thanks for being here. You’re my motivation to keep sharing.
