"We Were Complete Strangers. Now We're Best Friends Running a Company Together." -Jewel Zimmer & Taylor Lamb of Juna

Two women. One supplement company. Zero plan to become best friends. Jewel Zimmer and Taylor Lamb co-founded Juna out of a simple frustration: neither of them could find what they actually needed. Jewel healed her postpartum experience through amino acids after conventional approaches left her without answers. Taylor spent three years with terrible gut health, acne, and depression before she did her own research and discovered that plants were the thing nobody had thought to suggest. When they met through mutual contacts in the marketing world, the connection was obvious. The company followed. In this conversation, Jewel and Taylor talk about the science and philosophy behind Juna, what it actually means to build from the root cause up rather than chasing symptoms, and why they believe plants carry something synthetics simply cannot. They also go back. Jewel grew up in a small mountain town in British Columbia that never felt like hers, moved to Europe at thirteen when her parents sold the house on a whim, and moved out on her own at sixteen because she needed out. She found her way to culinary school, then to some of the best kitchens in the world, then to cannabis, then to Juna. Taylor was diagnosed with ADHD in school, rebelled her way through high school in all the ways that look bad on a report card and excellent in retrospect, built her graphic design and brand skills one gig at a time, and became one of the most respected brand builders in the women's wellness space. The doctor who diagnosed Taylor told her parents not to worry. Most CEOs have this, he said. She'll be fine. He was right. 🎙️ Meet Bridget | Season 6, Episode 162
