We went behind the scenes at Helaina’s Manhattan lab to see how they make human-identical effera™ lactoferrin through precision fermentation. Our trip to Helaina’s Manhattan headquarters revealed breakthrough science, world-class talent, and some incredible pizza recommendations. When we walked into Helaina’s sleek Manhattan facility at 345 Park Avenue South, we expected to see some interesting biotech. What we discovered was a PhD-powered precision fermentation revolution that’s transforming how we think about human nutrition — and a team passionate enough about their work to debate the ethics of sourcing bovine colostrum versus yeast modification over dinner. Our three-day visit included an…

What is the gut microbiome?Your gut is the home to trillions of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and other microorganisms, these are known as your gut microbiota. Emerging research suggests the microbiota, along with its collection of genomes (set of genetic material), together referred to as the microbiome, may well be as influential to your health as your inherited genes.Each of us has a unique microbiome, with the diversity and abundance of the flora influencing our general health. Often, a reduced diversity in gut flora is seen in people with certain conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as well as metabolic…

When it comes to securing firm, youthful skin, prevention is key. It’s much easier to delay fine lines and wrinkles than it is to address them once they’ve settled deep into your skin, is it not? That said, the earlier you can start a consistent regimen, the better. 

When it comes to chronic hives (also called chronic urticaria), it can be difficult to identify the cause. The condition may be classified as idiopathic[1] — meaning the cause is unknown — or it could be prompted by a variety of factors that combine and make hives linger.Unlike acute hives, a condition that lasts for short periods and tends to be related to exposure to allergens like pollen or specific foods, chronic hives last longer than six weeks and can include recurring episodes and intense rashes.[2]Chronic hives can be related to common allergens, such as certain medications, foods, or infections, but…

Everyone who knows me knows that I’m not a breakfast person. Even though it’s not my favorite meal of the day, my go-to dish has always been an extra crispy bagel. Whether you opt for a savory bite like an everything bagel smothered in cream cheese, a towering breakfast sandwich, or a seasonal version flavored with pumpkin spice, you truly can’t go wrong with a bagel, in my opinion.  When I lived in New Jersey, my family would visit a local bagel shop to get our bagels, but these days, the grocery store is my main supplier. My weekly shopping…

My father-in-law has practiced podiatric medicine in Los Angeles since 1987. He retired last year after nearly four decades of doctoring feet, preferring to spend his golden years on a pickleball court instead of in an office.  My father-in-law is a podiatrist, and he recommends Hoka Mach 6 to patients. It’s 20% off in frost/starlight glow at hoka.com.  The 6 is the lightest Mach sneaker to date.  While I definitely married my husband because I love him, I’ll admit that having a podiatrist on call sweetened the deal. He takes care of my calluses when they get too big and he…
