I'm going to spark a conversation today with Dr. Laura Romdin. She's on a bit of a schedule, so hopefully she'll pop in and we will get into this. I want to talk about health and wellness and nutrition a lot in the context of corporations and how they design and distribute products for us to eat and to put on our bodies. And what goes into that process and how safe are we and how much should we be looking at the ecosystem of health. Beauty. Wellness. Food

Hey there, Deborah. Thanks so much for the opportunity to talk to you about science, nutrition, and wellness, and sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. I started my career in science by doing a PhD in Immunology e. And then I spent 20 years developing cosmetic products, making people feel better about themselves because of the way they looked on the outside

And what support systems are there that you know about that can help you make the biggest impact? And what issues specifically, is there one sort of aspect of health and wellness and food and the ecosystem of food that you're really passionate about? You know what? There's a few questions in here, but thanks for answering them

We'll never be able to make an impact if we just sit at our desks and formulate products and talk about it amongst ourselves. So every available opportunity, especially like this one, I try to talk to people about nutrition and I try to decode it for them because I think it's overwhelming sometimes to determine what you should and you shouldn't eat. So I guess the bottom line is, in order to have a real impact, you have to do all of the things all of the above

Do you have that kind of pie in the sky idea and do you think you can actually live into it and think about ways to do it? Because I know that so many innovators out there like yourself have ideas and have dreams and you just want to have the right people at the table. Do you have a sense of what that might be like for you?

Thank you so much, Deborah and Lara, for this conversation. I'm very interested in hearing more about the partnerships that you see being formed that would be meaningful. Deborah definitely. What's raised in my mind is our educational system and wanting more done with our children and the education they receive about how important their nutrition is and what is in the products and how it affects their bodies, what they put on their skin, that these are linked to cancers, and it's important
