Sleep: The True Fix-All of
Health & Human Performance
Brandon Marcello, PhD |
Sleep has become a “hot topic” over the last 10 years, but is it really as
powerful as we think? Are naps bad? Does alcohol help you sleep? Is it okay to sleep in? What about
sleep apps and wearables? This lecture will provide details about sleep, its impact on health and

The Effect of Nutrition of
Hormones on Men
Paul La Bounty, PhD, MPT, CSCS, CPT |
{2001891_Paul_LaBountyWithBio}
The effects of our endocrine system and subsequent hormones on optimal health
are vitally important. Testosterone has been precipitously dropping in males over the last 30+
years.
As a result, there is growing interest in natural hormone optimization. But for many, there are more
questions than answers.
- How do you improve total and free testosterone without pharmaceuticals?
- Are there specific foods to eat or avoid?
- What types of exercises are best?
- How do sleep and stress affect total and free testosterone?
- Herbs and supplements...do they work?
Get the answers to these pivotal questions and more in this science-backed training that will help
you to improve hormonal profiles for men.

Nutrition and Cardiovascular Mortality
Kim Williams, MD, MACC, MASNC, FAHA, FESC |
From hypertension and stroke to obesity and diabetes, the science to support a
shift toward a plant-based approach for disease reversal and prevention is abundant. Poor nutrition
is the root cause of a myriad of health issues, health disparities, ethnic disparities and
exorbitant healthcare costs. Explore how even small reductions in animal product intake can have a
measurable health impact. In our dual pandemic of CVD and COVID, we need to advocate for risk factor
reduction, whenever and wherever possible by improving our microbiome to reduce mortality associated
with nutrition-related illnesses.
10:20-12:20pm CT

Performance, and Health: Nutrition and Physical Activity Interventions to Accelerate

newer discoveries such as normal weight obesity and body composition index. Bust myths surrounding
protein used and enhance your understanding of protein and fat metabolism. We’ll also explore hot
topics like pre-sleep feeding, plant-based diets and specific exercises for hypertrophy with tips
that are applicable to any health discipline working with body composition, performance and health.

Strength in Numbers: The
Exploration of Emotional, Cognitive and Physical Strength as Markers of
Health
Jim White, Rd, ACSM, E-P |

physical activity. The benefits of exercise go far beyond just being “fit”. Explore the markers of
strength across the age span alongside actionable tips to help patients build and maintain strength
in every domain: physical, nutrition, and cognitive.
No one routine is superior, and more isn’t necessarily better. Learn practical techniques that
get your patients up and moving – feeling better than ever before! As we age, muscle strength begins
to decline – but with these proven strategies, you can improve strength, slow the process of muscle
decline and prolong independence.
- Simple tips for recovery that reduce DOMS and enhance tissue repair
- How to build muscle with your fork
- Special considerations for protein type, timing and total intake

Behavior Change and Making
Habits Stick

whole-person
approach to treat - and often reverse – up to 80% of chronic diseases. Led by
nationally
recognized
wellbeing expert, Chris Mohr, PhD, RD this session explores the relationship between lifestyle,
behavioral and environmental drivers alongside major modern chronic diseases.
