133. Improving Gut Health and Your Micro...

Stephanie Uchima-Carney - Business Strategist, MBA, Health & Wellness Coach
About this episode

On today's episode, I'm bringing back an interview with Ara Katz, the founder of Seed. I loved this episode because she speaks to the importance of the microbiome, why we need to take probiotics (and prebiotics) as kids and adults, and how gut health is central to our immune system and health.

Ara Katz is a mother, entrepreneur, author and wellness expert. She is the co-founder of microbial sciences company Seed Health and consumer innovations brand, Seed.

Ara's first pregnancy and breastfeeding experience led her to the microbiome and inspired her personal mission to explore the importance and impact of microbes. 

At Seed Health, she leads fundraising, design thinking, brand, insights, commercialization, and the company’s translational work in science communication and storytelling. 

Ara lives in Venice, California with her husband and 2 young kids.
