Keynote speakers:

Tessa Roseboom, Ph.D., professor of early development and health at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Senior International Fellow, Bob and Charlee Moore Institute for Nutrition & Wellness, OHSU. She will talk about the fundamental importance of nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life. Her talk is titled “Building Human Potential from the Very Beginning.” Dr. Roseboom's studies of men and women who were born around the time of the Dutch famine of 1944-45 showed that poor nutrition during periods of critical growth and development had lasting consequences for the structure and function of the organs developing at that time.

Her talk will be centered around her book.

Pregnancy is a dynamic and constantly changing period of life. Lifestyle behaviors, experiences and nutritional status prior to conceiving shape the health and vulnerability to chronic disease of our offspring and future generations. Investing efforts to optimize health prior to pregnancy not only benefits the future pregnant person, but their child and family unit.
