The Health & Innovation Summit brings the nutrition, movement, and technology behind world-class athletes directly to local teens — one high-energy day, hands-on from start to finish.

The day is headlined by Chef Allen Campbell, owner of AC Kitchen and co-author of the TB12 Nutrition Manual with Tom Brady. From Somerville's Mystic public housing to the kitchens of the world's most elite athletes — and back home with one message: your circumstances don't define your ceiling.

Three hands-on sessions, plus lunch:

  • Performance Nutrition & the Science of Movement with Chef Allen Campbell — practical, everyday tips for fueling and moving better.
  • The AI Innovation Lab with Matthew Peters, Head of AI Solutions at Blitzy — turning everyday devices and custom AI prompts into personalized solutions.
  • Design Studio with The Pathways Foundation — merging tech with personal style to bring creative visions to life.

A hot lunch is prepared on-site by Chef Allen's culinary team — because health should never come at the expense of flavor. Co-presented with AC Kitchen and The Center for Teen Empowerment.
