    1-2 hr talk: Creating the Healthiest Diet
     There are two powerful ways to determine the healthiest diet: Epidemiology and clinical research. The first shows us
     that we can score diets numerically to see how well they improve our health (i.e. how long they help us to
     live). Clinical research helps us to understand the processes in the body that leads to nutrition improving or reducing
     our health. Combining these techniques allows us to create the best diet for optimal health, including a meal planner
     and a grocery list.

     2-3 hr talk: Creating YOUR Optimum Diet
     The above (1-1.5 hr talk) description, plus the emphasis of a diet will shift depending on our specific goals, our daily
     schedule, and our food preferences. Ultimately, everyone's diet should be as unique as they are. Understanding some
     of the details associated with proteins, carbohydrates and fats allows us a tremendous amount of control over our
     dietary options to take us to our weight loss, longevity, energy or performance goals.
