About this episode

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!
