If you feel like you keeping seeing or hearing everyone talk about the microbiome, you're not wrong. Ara Katz, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Seed, gives us a crash course in everything we need to know about the importance of gut health, probiotics, prebiotics, and explains all the different microbiomes that exist in our bodies. She also debunks myths about probiotics, Covid-19's correlation to the gut, and the impact childbirth has on the microbiome. Seed develops clinically-studied probiotics to impact human and planetary health. Their Daily Synbiotic combines 24 clinically-studied probiotic strains (not found in yogurt, most supplements, or fermented foods and beverages) with a non-fermenting prebiotic compound isolated and purified from Indian pomegranate.  

Ara Katz previously Co-Founded and served as CMO of Spring, mobile commerce marketplace. Ara was also on the Founding Team of social commerce company, BeachMint, where she launched six direct-to-consumer, influencer subscription brands. Ara has been a fellow at the MIT Media Lab’s Center for Future Storytelling and CCA’s DesignMBA program and was named in Marie Claire’s “The New Guard: The 50 Most Influential Women in America”, listed on Business Insider’s “Silicon Alley Top 100” and “36 Rockstar Women in NYC Tech”, and was recently included in Create + Cultivate’s 100 List for STEM.
