What REALLY Makes Us Healthy and Happy? Lessons From 30 Years in Nutrition Practice 

In this keynote, Dr. Jonny Bowden—aka “The Nutrition MythBuster™”—draws on 30 years of unconventional wisdom to challenge the status quo of health and nutrition. A former musician turned myth-busting expert, Dr. Jonny has spent decades breaking down misleading health narratives, most famously in The Great Cholesterol Myth. With his unique blend of nutrition expertise, psychological insight, and real-world experience, he’ll share what really moves the needle when it comes to long-term health and happiness. This isn’t your typical clinical lecture—Jonny’s journey from the fringes of the industry to a respected thought leader will inspire you to think outside the box and consider how holistic, individualized strategies can transform your practice and the lives of your clients. If you’re ready for practical, hard-earned lessons that combine both science and heart, you won’t want to miss this.
