Ara dives deep into everything you need to know about the microbiome and shares the inside scoop on VS01, Seed’s latest vaginal health probiotic that’s just hit the market. Starting with the basics, Ara explains how to determine the right time to start taking a daily symbiotic and discusses how our gut health impacts our entire system. Beyond the science, Ara opens up about her personal journey, revealing how the loss of her mother ignited a lifelong curiosity in science and understanding the body.
