Summary

Have you ever wondered where your collagen comes from? A recent article on the sourcing of several popular collagen brands has people concerned and feeling less confident in how to identify ethically sourced ingredients. To tackle the topic of ethical sourcing head-on, Erin sat down with Organifi’s CEO, Mae Steigler. Organifi is a company known for the responsible and transparent sourcing of their ingredients, so we knew this would be an insightful conversation.

Join Erin and Mae as they delve into a critical discussion about supplement sourcing during this conversation - including why Erin’s stance has changed on supplementation in general over the years. As two CEOs who run their companies with similar core values, Erin and Mae also explore team dynamics, and how the concept of alignment in business relates to the company’s purpose and community.

Mae Steigler serves as CEO of Organifi, maker of premium, great-tasting adaptogenic blends. Responsible for the brand’s overall alignment, Mae is driven by her passion and responsibility for the development of Organifi’s people and processes, having played a key role in building the company since its inception in 2014 to an average growth of 60% CAGR year over year, since inception. With Mae’s leadership, Organifi has been named one of INC. 5000’s fastest-growing companies, four times, and awarded Forbes Great Places to Work, for the last three years.

0:13.1	I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the
0:18.0	Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship
0:21.7	where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies.
0:26.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both

1:22.7	good audio in this podcast, so I apologize that my portion of the audio is subpar, but it's a great
1:29.3	conversation, nevertheless, so I hope you enjoy.
1:34.0	Okay, yay, I'm so excited about this conversation. I get to talk to May Stigler, who is the CEO
1:40.9	of Organify, who have been our most long-term, most well-loved sponsor of the Functional Nutrition
1:47.7	podcast. So this is a long time coming. May is, like I said, the CEO of the company,
