Registration

Welcome and Opening Remarks

8:00 am - 8:15 am

Dotsie Bausch

Scott Stoll, MD

Dotsie and Scott will get the session kicked off with a welcome and some background on why and how Plant-Based Performance is driving better gains.

Game of Gains: A New Paradigm in Performance Nutrition

8:15 am - 9:15 am

Dotsie Bausch

Jeff Olson

Scott Stoll, MD

For decades macronutrients dominated the discussion in sports nutrition today. The new science of performance reveals that optimized, cellular, and physiologic function is dominated by micronutrients. Pulling from the new science, Jeff and Scott this session will present a new construct of sports nutrition and the food patterns that fuel performance both in competition and daily life.

Energy Optimization: The Relationship Between Micronutrients and Mitochondria

9:15 am - 10:15 am

James F. Loomis, Jr., MD

Energy production is fundamental to performance at every level of sports and daily life. Simply put, increased energy production produces enhanced performance. During this session, attendees will learn about the core dietary components that not only improve the efficiency of mitochondria – the powerplant of the cell – mitochondria, but help in the creation of create new mitochondria thus increasing overall energy production.

Break

10:15 am - 10:45 am

The Microbiome and Optimal Immunity for Human Performance

10:45 am - 11:45 am

Angie Sadeghi, MD

The microbiome is more important to overall performance than we realize. Enhanced immunity for accelerated injury healing, normalization of inflammation and combating infections (especially before big events and occasions), are modulated by a healthy microbiome. This session will present the emerging evidence that demonstrates the performance enhancement, energy optimization and immune system enhancements of a healthy microbiome and how to maximize your microbiota.

The Power of Plants in Fueling Recovery and Regeneration

11:45 am - 12:45 pm

Scott Stoll, MD

Proper nutrition is paramount to recovery and regeneration but is often a neglected area of sports and daily nutrition. This presentation will walk attendees through the remarkable science of the gut joint axis, mobilization of stem cells, activation of cartilage regeneration and the power of an anti-inflammatory diet to improve recovery and soreness and get you “back in the game” faster than you ever thought possible.

LUNCH / Networking

12:45 pm - 2:15 pm

Razor Sharp: The Nexus of Nutrition for the Brain

2:15 pm - 3:15 pm

Dean Sherzai, MD, PhD

Reaction time, memory, focus and clarity are critical to performance and are maximized or limited by the athlete’s plate. Learn from international experts about the power of a well-designed performance nutrition program to improve your cognitive performance, in sport and in daily life, giving you the healthiest brain possible both today and as you age.
