What if the biggest shift in your health wasn't finding the right prescription—but learning how to become the CEO of your own body? In this conversation, I sit down with Allie Egan, founder and CEO of Veracity, to explore the deeply personal journey that transformed her from leading luxury brands like La Mer, Estée Lauder, and Cynthia Rowley into building one of the most exciting companies in metabolic health. After years of infertility, multiple pregnancy losses, and an unexpected Hashimoto's diagnosis, Allie realized that conventional medicine was managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes. That realization sparked a company built around empowering people to better understand their hormones, metabolism, and long-term health—not just chase quick fixes. We also dive into the evolution of Veracity, why the company pivoted from hormone testing to metabolic health, where GLP-1s fit into the future of wellness, and what founders can learn about building conviction-led businesses in rapidly evolving markets.

What happens when one of the world's leading personalized nutrition companies realizes its biggest challenge isn't science—it's human behavior? In this conversation, I sit down with Julie Pons, Chief Product Officer at ZOE, to unpack one of the highest-stakes product decisions in the company's history. Julie shares why ZOE rebuilt its app from the ground up, removed gut testing as the primary entry point, and shifted its entire product philosophy toward helping people actually stick with healthier habits. We also dive into what it takes to build a science-first consumer health company, why behavior design matters just as much as breakthrough research, and how ZOE is thinking about growth, accessibility, and long-term trust as it expands beyond the UK. Whether you're building a health brand, leading product, or simply interested in the future of personalized nutrition, this conversation offers an honest look at how great products evolve when companies are willing to challenge their own assumptions.

Every founder talks about product-market fit. Fewer talk about reimbursement-market fit, distribution, and the operational infrastructure required to scale inside healthcare. In this conversation, I sit down with Andrea Ippolito, founder and CEO of SimpliFed, to unpack what it actually takes to build a venture-backed healthcare company in one of the most overlooked areas of medicine: postpartum care. Andrea shares how her own experience becoming a mother led her to identify a massive market hiding behind what many dismissed as a "niche" problem. We discuss why she intentionally built inside the healthcare system rather than around it, how regulatory complexity became a competitive advantage, and why founders often underestimate the power of focused execution.

One of the most widely used products in women's health hadn't meaningfully changed in decades, until Greta Meyer stepped in. In this episode of Reclaim, I sit down with Greta Meyer, co-founder of Sequel, a company reimagining tampon design through engineering, performance, and real-world user experience. As a former Stanford athlete, Greta noticed firsthand how periods remained one of the last overlooked performance barriers for women in sports. That insight sparked a journey that led to FDA clearance, patented innovation, and a mission to improve confidence for women everywhere. We dive into product innovation, fundraising, consumer education, manufacturing challenges, and what it really takes to build a medical device company as a first-time founder.

What if fertility support was as accessible as your skincare routine? In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Diamond, Co-Founder and CEO of Bird&Be, the fertility wellness company helping people take control of their reproductive health through education, at-home testing, and science-backed supplements. After navigating her own experience with PCOS, pregnancy loss, and fertility challenges, Samantha left her career to build a company that could close the enormous gap in reproductive health education. Just a few years later, Bird&Be has grown into an eight-figure business, serves customers across every stage of the fertility journey, and recently expanded into more than 1,000 Ulta Beauty locations. We discuss what it takes to build trust in a highly personal healthcare category, how fertility awareness is evolving, why male fertility deserves more attention, and the realities of scaling a venture-backed company while raising a family.

What happens when the biggest challenge in wellness isn't product innovation—but trust? In this episode, I sit down with Irfan Alam, Founder and CEO of Frontrow MD, to explore how he's building an entirely new category at the intersection of healthcare, commerce, clinician expertise, and AI. After leading strategy at Everlywell and spending time at Rock Health, Irfan identified a critical problem facing health and wellness brands: consumers want better health outcomes, but they don't know what to trust. That insight led to Frontrow MD, a platform helping wellness brands earn clinician validation, increase conversion rates, and build credibility at scale. We discuss the realities of creating a category from scratch, the challenges of recruiting thousands of clinicians, why customer acquisition costs remain one of the biggest barriers to wellness adoption, and how AI is reshaping trust in healthcare.

Most founders talk about customer experience, but few truly think about infrastructure. In this episode, I sit down with Irene Liu, co-founder and CEO of Chiyo, to unpack how she built one of the most thoughtful and clinically-informed brands in maternal nutrition, starting from hand-delivering meals herself during COVID to building a company that now serves as a blueprint for where women’s health is headed next. What stood out most in this conversation wasn’t just Chiyo’s growth story. It was Irene’s perspective on infrastructure, behavior change, and how founders in health and wellness can build companies that solve deeply human problems without over-marketing or over-complicating the customer experience. We talk about the evolution of women’s health, the realities of scaling community-led acquisition, why paid media alone stops working, and what it takes to build trust in an emerging category. We also dive into Chiyo’s recent acquisition by Epicured and what it unlocks—from Medicaid partnerships to clinical research and performance nutrition programs for female athletes.

When founders talk about founder-market fit, the conversation often centers around expertise: years spent in an industry, operational insight, or technical specialization. But some of the strongest companies are built by founders who experience a problem so personally that they become unwilling to accept the status quo. That’s exactly what happened for Sarah Hollingsworth, founder of Poppylist. After becoming a first-time mom, Sarah found herself overwhelmed by the baby registry experience despite spending countless hours researching products and preparing for parenthood. That frustration eventually became the foundation for Poppylist, a modern registry platform designed to make the transition into parenthood feel more flexible, supported, and less overwhelming. In this episode of Reclaim, Sarah shares how a simple Typeform quiz became the foundation for a viral acquisition engine, how SEO and content became their earliest growth moat, and why Poppylist intentionally stayed bootstrapped for over five years before even considering raising capital. We also dive into founder psychology, the tension between controlled growth and acceleration, and what happens when product-market fit starts pulling your company faster than your infrastructure can support.

What if women finally had access to real-time hormone data instead of being told to “wait and see” or having their symptoms dismissed altogether? In this episode of Reclaim, I sat down with Jenny Duan, co-founder of Clair, the company building what could become the world’s first continuous hormone monitor for women. We talked about the massive gaps in women’s healthcare, why existing wearables weren’t designed with women in mind, and how Clair is aiming to bridge the divide between personalized health data and actionable care.

What if the number on the scale has been telling you the wrong story all along? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Shi, co-founder and CEO of BodySpec, the company that helped make DEXA body scans affordable, accessible, and mainstream long before wellness culture caught up. What began as an MBA project became a 12-year bootstrapped growth story spanning 10+ cities, 600,000+ scans, and a mission to transform how we think about health data.

The fertility care journey is one that’s often got a dark cloud of crisis looming over it. But what if it’s a journey that starts way before the crisis? In this episode of Reclaim, host Destinee Berman welcomes Jessica Bell van der Wal, CEO & Co-Founder of Frame Fertility, to explore why early, proactive fertility conversations are missing from healthcare, how partnering with trusted providers unlocks patient trust and retention, and the key strategies behind building a scaled, human-centered solution in a fragmented system. Turns out, we’ve got fertility all wrong. And what the journey really needs isn't just medical care—it's relational care.

What if integrating movement, meditation and mindfulness into the school day could transform how kids focus, learn, and manage stress? In this episode of Reclaim, host Destinee Berman sits down with Mary Montague, Founder and Lead Wellness Educator of the POGA Method, to explore how a special education teacher's morning Pilates routine sparked an innovative wellness curriculum that now reaches more than 1,000 students weekly. In this conversation, they explore why scaling without compromising quality requires both conviction and flexibility and the founder mindset shifts needed to evolve from solo practitioner to visionary entrepreneur. This episode serves as a reminder that authentic listening, organic expansion and unwavering focus are what truly create lasting change.

This conversation is packed with actionable frameworks on foundational health, ethical product sourcing and strategic expansion.

Midlife women hold $15 trillion in spending power but have nothing worthwhile to spend it on—at least in the health and wellness market. That is, until Womaness changed the game. In this episode of Reclaim, we unpack the important and inspiring story of Womaness, the leading women's wellness brand that's modernizing perimenopause, menopause and aging support. Tune in as host Destinee Berman sits down with Co-Founder &CEO, Sally Mueller, to explore how to build a category-defining brand in women's health, why education and relatability matter more than perfection in marketing, and the strategies that transformed a personal health crisis into a thriving omnichannel business. Sally’s personal story inspired a journey that has scaled her business across DTC, Amazon and retail—all through one principle: celebrate the midlife woman and reclaim the voices that culture forgot to amplify.
