Plant-Based Omegas Regenerating Health, Regenerating the Planet
Choosing the right fats and oils not only improve how we look, feel and perform but surprisingly also plays an important role in how the planet looks, feels and performs. For over 3 decades we have been identifying, evaluating and cultivating specialty oilseed crops that provide valuable nutrition and health benefits. The extensive research of botanists, scientists and conservationists has revealed that none rival Ahiflower. This extraordinary plant naturally delivers complete and balanced omegas while protecting and regenerating our environment and oceans.Join us as we speak with leading nutritionists, healthcare practitioners, athletes, farmers, scientists, conservationists and other thought leaders as they share their insights, research and observations about Ahiflower and how it positively impacts our health, the quality of agriculture and food systems while also improving the abundance and health of our oceans.

Plant-Based Omegas: Regenerating Health, Regenerating the Planet with Dr. Mary Beth Gordon
Dr. Mary Beth Gordon is the Senior Director of Equine Technical Innovation for Purina Animal Nutrition (Land O'Lakes, Inc.) with responsibilities to lead and guide the research and technical teams for the horse business group. Her ambitious research team has completed over 350 research protocols at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center, leading to the creation of 24 new products and 20+ reformulated products in the equine market since 2005. This research encompasses exercise physiology, growth and reproduction, and digestive physiology including palatability, intake, and microbiome work.
Mary Beth earned her BS in Animal Science from Delaware Valley University and PhD in Animal Science with a specialty in Equine Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Rutgers University. Her graduate research focused on the effects of exercise on the hormonal regulation of appetite in horses and her work was the first to characterize the appetite stimulating hormone, ghrelin, in equine. She is published in numerous scientific journals including The Veterinary Journal, Equine Veterinary Journal, Journal of Animal Science, Journal of Equine Veterinary Science and Equine Comparative Exercise Physiology. She has also co-authored chapters in textbooks such as Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery. In addition to her work at Purina Animal Nutrition, Mary Beth is active in the horse world as a dressage rider, owning multiple warmbloods that keep her very busy!
