"I'm thrilled to add a sports nutrition perspective to the panel," said Gibson. "From weekend warriors to elite athletes, it's gratifying to see the increased interest in how a real food approach that includes delicious plant protein foods can support performance goals." Gibson will be sharing best practices cultivated from an exceptional career that includes working with some of the world's best athletes.
