Information about the Aspen Ideas Festival is here. I am scheduled for a session, The American Wellness Paradox, currently scheduled from 11:00-11:50 a.m., at the East Lawn Tent. This will be a discussion with senior HHS policy advisor, Calley Means. Here’s the blurb on it: “Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare, supplements, wellness trends, and “clean eating,” yet rates of chronic disease and metabolic illness continue to climb. As skepticism fuels the rise of movements like MAHA, debates over what Americans should eat have become deeply cultural, political, and economic. Two influential voices with sharply different perspectives on nutrition and food science explore how food systems, farming practices, consumer culture, and the wellness industry collided to create one of the defining public health debates of our time.”

Online: World Health Summit
This is a panel presentation at this Summit in conjunction with the World Health Organization. The Summit is in Berlin. Information is here. My presentation is online from 8:oo to 9:30 a.m. East Coast time. I will briefly discuss, per instructions, “the risks of commercial actors and the strategies they employ to promote products to health and nutrition- and the actions needed by governments to tackle these risks.”
