Summary
In this episode I talk to Helene Rutledge, co-founder of the supplement company Upgraid. Helene dives into her career transition from Big Pharma to “Un-Pharma” and what differentiates Upgraid from other supplement companies. We discuss the acceleration of telemedicine that can be attributed to COVID and the rise in patient-centered healthcare. We talk about the importance of preventative care, advocating for your own health and symptoms, and paying attention to what’s going on in your body.
