In this week’s episode of Loving Wellness, I'm talking to Kori Estrada, the co-founder of my favorite toothpaste / oral care company, RiseWell. Kori is disrupting the oral care industry with an all-natural, sustainable brand that prioritizes safe ingredients and transparency. Driven by personal experiences with Celiac disease and the IVF process, Kori's dedication to overall health and wellness led her, along with former partner John Estrada and brother Derek Gatta, DDS, to create dentist-formulated products that are free from harmful chemicals like fluoride, sulfates, and synthetic additives. Collaborating with leading doctors and dentists, she discovered the power of hydroxyapatite during research in Japan, finding the star ingredient for RiseWell's best-selling toothpaste, which has led to a full line of oral health care products. With a background in finance and an unwavering commitment to innovation, Kori envisions a future where RiseWell transforms the industry and inspires holistic well-being.
