This week, Valeria Lipovetsky sits down with Alex Taylor, co-founder and Co-CEO of Perelel, the first and only OB/GYN-founded vitamin company. Alex opens up about a personal health scare—a shingles outbreak that led to an autoimmune diagnosis—revealing the gaps in women’s healthcare that inspired her to create Perelel. Together, they explore the challenges women face in the medical system, the changes in hormones throughout a woman’s life, and why self-advocacy is more crucial than ever. Alex also shares insights into the science behind Perelel’s innovative formulations, how health impacts fertility, the importance of supporting mental and physical well-being, and the mission to close the women’s health research gap.
