What’s News In Nutrition: A Conversation with Dr. Christopher Gardner
Wednesday, January 15 | 11am–12pm
Kick off a healthy new year with an in-depth conversation with Dr. Christopher Gardner, recognized as one of the top nutrition scientists in the world. Based on Dr. Gardner’s recent research at Stanford and work as a member of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, we’ll explore vegan and plant-forward diets, the latest information on ultra-processed foods, and what to eat / what to avoid for better health. This program includes plenty of time for Q&A!
Christopher Gardner, Ph.D. is the Rehnborg Farquhar Professor of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and Research Professor at Stanford Prevention Research Center. He is known for conducting some of the most famous and often-cited studies on nutrition and for his work using the “holy grail” of nutritional science, the randomized controlled trial (RCT). He chairs the American Heart Association Nutrition Committee and is actively working on an elite committee to update the 2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Despite Dr. Gardner’s impressive credentials, he is also known as a “Bohemian wannabe” who loves food as much as he loves science and who doesn’t take either – or himself – too seriously. His not-stuffy approach to the unpredictable and exciting world of science helps him connect deeply with his audiences.
