Eating Right: Achieving Maximum Wellness Through Nutrition
Alexia Brue, Shane Emmett, Nick Green, Mark Hyman, Patrick Smith, Nick Orloveyski, Mark Blyth, JR.
At the Milken Conference, a panel moderated by Alexia Brew of Well and Good brought together Dr. Mark Hyman and industry leaders Nick Orlove, Shane Emmett, and Patrick Smith to address systemic failures in nutrition caused by industry-conflicted science and outdated government guidelines. The group synthesized diverse solutions ranging from Hyman's "pegan" dietary framework and emerging data on keto's therapeutic potential to business models by Thrive Market, Health Warrior, and Territory that aim to democratize access to whole foods. Ultimately, the panelists identified a critical inflection point where private innovation and a growing public demand for personalized nutrition are converging to disrupt a food system historically skewed by subsidies for processed commodities.

Trust and the Markets: A Debate on High-Frequency Trading
Jim McCoggin, Rishi Narang, Katie, Amy Goodman, David Brooks, Jim Lecinski, Mark Blyth, Jr., Steve
Industry experts Jim McCoggin and Rishi Narang debated the evolution of high-frequency trading, analyzing how regulatory milestones like Decimalization and Reg NMS drove an arms race in automation while compressing profit margins to less than 0.1% of trade face value. The discussion highlighted a stark divide regarding market transparency, with McCoggin advocating for the elimination of dark pools and payment for order flow while Narang defended them as necessary tools for institutional protection. Both agreed that current market conduct rules have failed to keep pace with technology, necessitating SEC intervention to equalize data speeds and penalize excessive order cancellations without banning the practice itself.
