Expert insights: wisdom from thought leaders

“ Despite many of these probiotics on the market, it's really a black box in terms of the mechanisms of action how these impact health and function in the body. . . Understanding that can actually be very valuable as we start to really think about which probiotic should we use and should they be personalized to your specific situation. ”

Sean Adams, MS, PhD

“ Exercise for health, not just weight loss. I want people to focus on thinking about exercise, not just for fitness or for weight loss, but really exercising for health. That's what I'm focused on. ”

Brandee Waite, MD

“ There’s overwhelming scientific evidence that healthy lifestyle and wellness habits have a significant impact at preventing and treating disease, and in many cases, reducing the need for medication. While wellness practices are a really important part of a healthy life, they won’t always be a substitute for medication. ”

Heather Martin, PharmD, CDE
