Ara Katz, the microbiome health expert who has been recognized for her pioneering work across every major media outlet from TIME Best Inventions to Fast Company World Changing Ideas, Inc Female Founders, CNBC Changemakers, and many more. Or, you might be even more familiar with her product: the little green pill that's been as viral across TikTok as it has the microbiomes of tastemakers like Karlie Kloss, Cameron Diaz, Kerry Washington, Jessica Biel, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mindy Kaling, Ashton Kutcher, Hannah Bronfman, and Alexandra Daddario, among many others because of their proven science, sustainability, and efficacy.

There’s a new problem Ara has been tackling and is talking about with us today: women's health has suffered from serious healthcare systemic disregard and a lack of product innovation. To combat this, Ara has partnered with Dr. Jacques Ravel, the leading academic researcher in the vaginal microbiome field for the past two decades. Together, they are ushering in a new era in vaginal health—shifting from harsh, reactive approaches to a sustainable solution that tackles the ‘root cause’.

In today's episode we dive deep into taboo topics surrounding women's health with special guests, Danica Patrick, a Wisconsin gal turned professional racecar driver who plans to live till she’s 120, (danicapatrick.com) & Emily Capretta, a #bosslady mama who is the Managing Director of Proactive Sports Performance. (proactivesp.com). There is truly no stone unturned as we receive dating advice from Danica, reveal our bedroom insecurities, and reflect on the power that comes with speaking up for your health, your pain, and your body, in a culture that has a track record for ignoring women’s needs for decades.

At a time where such conversations are often sidelined or too shrouded in shame to have, we emphasize the importance of having a supportive community like “The Pentagon," (no not THAT one, so you’ll have to listen to find out what this is!), where women can openly discuss their issues without judgment. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that aims to destigmatize and empower your life and your experiences.
