Ever feel foggy or drained halfway through a conference day? It might not be your schedule — it could be the food.
In this episode, David T Stevens sits down with Jessie Gibson, MS, RD, LD, a licensed clinical dietitian, to unpack how what we eat during events affects energy, memory, and attention. This conversation goes beyond trends and tackles the real science behind conference menus — including a myth-busting look at seed oils, sugar, hydration, and why a protein-packed breakfast matters (especially for those with ADHD).
🔍 What we cover:
How food affects your ability to focus at events
Why seed oils and other “villainized” ingredients aren’t always the enemy
The difference between dietitians and influencers
How inclusive food options can foster a stronger sense of belonging
The ROI of wellness-forward catering — for planners and attendees
Whether you're attending or planning the next big conference, this episode will change the way you look at event food — and help you make smarter choices for your mind and body.
✨ Listen in for grounded advice, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way. 🎙️ Hosted by David T Stevens | Return on Wellness
