Unlocking the Microbiome: Seed Co-Founder Ara Katz on What You’re Misunderstanding About Probiotics and Prebiotics, the Latest Discoveries About the Vaginal Microbiome, and the Future of Microbiome Research

Manifest Daily

Welcome to another episode of Manifest Daily!

Today, we’re chatting with an extraordinary guest – Ara Katz. If you’re not already familiar with Ara, she is the dynamic force behind Seed, the company known for its flagship product, DS-01®, the #1 selling probiotic that has captured the attention of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Karlie Kloss, and Cameron Diaz.

Ara is a three-time founder who was recently named to CNBC’s inaugural Changemakers list. Her journey into the world of science and health began not in a lab but with personal challenges that propelled her into the world of microbiome. Twenty years ago, her mom’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis ignited her passion for health and science. Later, a miscarriage and struggles with breastfeeding introduced her to the microbiome and the realization of how little science informed the products she relied on. This journey led Ara to co-found Seed Health.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into:

• The science of the microbiome: its profound implications for health, from infancy through old age, targeted strategies for prevention and intervention, and the truth about probiotics.
• The vaginal microbiome: what it is, why it matters, and how it’s redefining everything we know about women’s health.
• An exclusive first look into Seed’s first vaginal innovation and why it’s a game-changer in the current landscape.
• Ara’s inspiring journey from personal health adversities to spearheading one of the most impactful health science companies today, her path to entrepreneurship, sharing her experience as a female founder, raising capital, and building a beloved brand.
• And more!

Join us as we delve into a fascinating conversation with Ara Katz, exploring the incredible impact of the microbiome on our health, groundbreaking innovations in women’s health, and her remarkable journey as a trailblazing entrepreneur. You won’t want to miss this insightful and inspiring episode!
