Hi everyone, I'm Hillary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who What Wear,

and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

They do so many amazing things and are really responsible for our gut health, and our guest

today is revolutionizing how we care for our gut health.

Ericats is the co-founder and co-CEO of Seed Health, a microbial sciences company.

Her hero product, the daily symbiotic, is a two-in-one daily capsule containing both a
