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Shane Emmett, and Patrick Smith to address systemic failures in nutrition caused by industry-conflicted science and outdated government guidelines.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.

The Rapidly Changing Food Industry and What it Means for Health
Michael Klowden, Cristina Alesci, Shane Emmett, Neil Grimmer, Douglas Munk, Jonathan Neman, Irwin Simon
A global food industry pivot is driven by millennial demand for transparency, personalized nutrition, and long-term health outcomes, forcing major players like Nestlé and Hain Celestial to launch billion-dollar initiatives and restructure supply chains. While small innovators like Health Warrior and Daily Table demonstrate viability through agile models and strategic partnerships, they face persistent structural barriers including retail placement dominance by established brands and federal subsidies that favor nutrient-poor crops. The market is increasingly converging toward scalable "dynamic menus" and affordable infrastructure, as leaders recognize that bridging the cost gap requires merging advanced biological data with massive logistical efficiency.
