Meet Your Fireside Dialogists
An intimate 60-minute unscripted conversation followed by 30 minutes of open, honest Q&A with organizational attendees.
Sadeek Colquitt, CPBN
With more than 25 years of nutrition education and clinical inquiry, Sadeek shares his personal health journey and the observational breakthroughs that led to the development of the Intelligent Design Nutrition™ framework.
Sadeek helps leaders and teams look beyond willpower to recognize how human nutritional requirements differ profoundly from what industrial food systems manufacture as "food."
Princess Ayers-Stewart
Princess guides the conversation with incisive questions, probing the intersection between societal systems, workplace wellness realities, and the true economics of chronic disease.
Her dynamic interview format ensures the session cuts through buzzwords, challenging participants to ask the difficult questions about their food environment and organizational health.
What We Unpack in the 90-Minute Session
Moving past conventional nutrition cliches to confront the biology, systems, and chemistry governing our bodies.
Actual FOOD vs. FOOD-ish
What if much of what we've accepted as normal food is merely an industrial imitation? We dissect how ultra-processed, food-like items became normalized, and why recognizing this distinction changes everything.
The Systems & Willpower Myth
Healthy choices aren't simply a matter of individual discipline. We examine the corporate landscapes of food production, marketing, and distribution that actively engineer obstacles to health.
Mechanisms of Disease
A non-sensational, biological look into diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Distinguishing between what initiates disease versus what accelerates or exacerbates existing vulnerabilities.
