Power Of The Plate Conference Comes to San Diego

Scheduled from May 14-17, 2026, the Power Of The Plate Conference, hosted by The Plantrician Project, promises to be a groundbreaking event uniting leaders and innovators from various fields to discuss the critical intersection of food, health, and sustainability. This inaugural gathering will take place at the picturesque Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, California.

A Historic Gathering of Minds

The conference is expected to attract a diverse audience including scientists, clinicians, farmers, policymakers, and other influential changemakers who are passionate about transforming global health through food. It builds upon a legacy established by The Plantrician Project’s International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference (PBNHC), which has been pivotal in promoting the role of nutrition in disease prevention and management for over a decade.

Dr. Scott Stoll, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of The Plantrician Project, emphasizes the importance of food systems: "The plate is not only where nourishment begins—it is where systems converge. What we eat influences chronic disease, environmental outcomes, and the resilience of our communities." This year's conference aims to expand its focus from clinical care to a holistic examination of how our food systems can enact meaningful change.

Expert Insights from Notable Speakers

The Power Of The Plate Conference will feature prominent California-based experts who will share their insights on the intersections of nutrition and health. Among the speakers:

• - Sharon Palmer, RD: Renowned for her ability to translate nutrition science into practical dietary advice for a broader audience.
• - Sean Hashmi, MD: A leader in lifestyle medicine, focusing on cardiometabolic and kidney health, who brings invaluable perspective on preventive care.
• - Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, MDs: Neurologists celebrated for their work on Alzheimer's prevention, recognized for advocating lifestyle strategies that promote brain health.

Their participation reflects the growing influence of California as a hub for nutritional science and preventive healthcare practices, showcasing the region's commitment to advancing health and wellness through evidence-based strategies.

Bridging Nutrition and Agriculture

A significant highlight of the conference will be a discussion around the white paper titled The Power of the Plate: The Case for Regenerative Organic Agriculture in Improving Human Health, developed in collaboration with the Rodale Institute. This document emphasizes the need for a connection between clinical nutrition, agriculture, and sustainable practices, advocating for systemic transformation in how we approach food production and consumption.
