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’.
