WIL Talk #116 Kori Estrada, Co-CIO & Co-CEO at Axon Capital

Each of us has our own individual journey to take and one woman’s journey with Celiac disease and the IVF process has led her on the path to discovering wellness products that are safe for you, your body and your family. Kori Estrada, Co-Founder of Risewell, joins us for a conversation to discuss how she and her partners are disrupting the oral care industry with an all-natural, sustainable brand that prioritizes safe ingredients and transparency.During our conversation, Kori shared how life’s unexpected turns have prepared her for the innovation and work she does today. From investment banker to entrepreneur and how the 2008 financial crash, her experiences on her food journey to healing Celiac disease, to her experience with the IVF process to understanding what she was ingesting orally and/or topically to the impact that was having on her hormones. All of these stages have forced her to look for other ways to heal and to do so more naturally. We have an in-depth discussion around fluoride and the damage it causes, plus how “natural” doesn’t always mean good for you or truly natural. We discuss the use of hydroxyapatite, which was discovered back in the 70s by NASA when returning astronauts needed to rebuild their enamel, and the fact that 60% of the market in Japan’s oral care products use this ingredient. But why in North America do we not? Listen in to find out. And last but not least we enter the world of microbiome and the importance of what is killing it in our bodies.  You don’t want to miss this conversation especially if you have kids or have been using fluoride.Interested in staying in touch on activities happening at WIL Empowered?
