Ep. 93: Breaking Down The Microbiome with Ara Katz

In life — if we’re lucky enough — we, as humans, cross paths with people who put us in a perpetual state of awe. People who have such exponential levels of ambition, intelligence, hunger for change, truth, and bandwidth that it’s hard to believe they actually exist. Consider yourselves fortunate to meet one of those people today. Ara Katz is the co-founder and co-CEO of Seed Health, a microbial sciences company pioneering applications of bacteria to impact human and environmental health. Ara also co-leads Seed Labs, which develops novel applications of bacteria to solve some of our most pressing ecological challenges. She’s been a fellow at the MIT media labs center for future storytelling and CCA’s design MBA program, named one of Marie Claire’s 50 most influential women in America, Business Insiders Silicon Alley Top 100, and 36 Rockstar Rockstar Women in NYC Tech. Having found her place at the intersection of storytelling, design, and technology, Ara combines an incessant pursuit of facts and commitment to stewarding the future of science communication to change the way we discern evidence and evangelism in making choices for our bodies, our health, and our world. Her commitment to the truth above all else is what puts her in your corner, so you can find health and happiness through a lens of accuracy. Let’s unpack some of what she knows!
