Hi, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion, and welcome to the

B-OF podcast. Voices is the most stimulating gathering of fashion industry leaders on the planet.

What makes voices different is that we mix our industry with fascinating people from other sectors,

from the worlds of economics, activism, health and

wellness, medicine, film, philanthropy, technology, media, and so many more.

Fashion doesn't live in a bubble and nor should it.

This is one of the sessions from our 2017 gathering.

Have you ever wondered about how what you eat impacts your nutrition and your diet and your well-being?

Well, we invited Dr. Cosro-Eaz-Nik-Pay, a former McKinsey partner that I worked with many, many years ago,

to talk to us about some of the cutting-edge research he's doing at the intersection of food, science, technology, and nutrition.

Here is Dr. Cosro-Izaz-Nikpe on the myths and realities of nutrition at Voices 2017.

Just a quick note, this conversation was recorded live in front of an audience, so please excuse any audio issues.

Imran asked me to talk about myself, and I always feel a bit uncomfortable talking about myself. It feels too self-celebratory somehow, and I thought I'll just sort of draw it in some pictures.

And when I first, I first drew it going down, because somehow that made more sense.

And my daughter said, that just means your life is going downhill.

So I said, okay.

And the second thing she said to me was that I notice these bubbles are sort of representing you

as kind of in 15-year increments, which I learned today if I'm basically every time I'm sort

of a 15-year-old when I switch track, that that makes me a pivoter.

So probably the oldest one around.

But my life has sort of happened a little bit in 15-year increments.

I'm Iranian from my background, although I'm half German, which I try to suppress.
