    Unlocking Holistic Health: How Women Can Balance Hormones & Take Control with Dr. Taz, Author of The Hormone Shift

    In the Western medical system, healthcare is often used to treat symptoms and diagnose illnesses rather than considering the whole person and addressing the root cause. As women's hormones fluctuate and change, this system often fails them because most doctors do not think holistically. Dr. Taz Bhatia, a double board-certified integrative physician and author of The Hormone Shift is on a mission to change all of that beginning with the way we think about medicine and women’s health.

    According to Dr. Taz, approximately 40 percent of women are gaslit during medical encounters. After experiencing this first-hand in her twenties with her health challenges, she knew something had to be done. Initially studying Western medicine and working in the ER for 12 years, Dr. Taz went on to study integrative medicine and eventually opened CentreSpringMD. As a holistic and integrative health pioneer, Dr. Taz stresses how crucial it is for women to take control of their health, beginning with getting their hormones tested and putting together a team of health experts to guide them. If you're looking for more ways to get started on your holistic health journey be sure to check out Dr. Taz’s book The Hormone Shift.

    Breaking the Stigma: Menopause, Women’s Health & Oprah’s New Insider Community with Pilar Guzmán, Editorial Director of Oprah Daily

    As a trailblazer for women everywhere, Oprah has always been a leading voice regarding subjects such as weight loss and women's health. Over the years, Oprah has used her voice to tell stories across many media channels from The Oprah Winfrey Show to O, The Oprah Magazine.  Now that the media landscape has changed, Oprah Daily is the new home for all of Oprah's content, and its Editorial Director, Pilar Guzmán, oversees all of it.

Having led culture-changing conversations about motherhood at her magazine Cookie, and now menopause at Oprah Daily, Pilar isn't afraid to address uncomfortable topics. As part of Oprah's mission to share thoughtful stories online, Pilar helped to launch the September issue, which focuses on women's health and why menopause has been silenced for so long.

    Breaking Barriers in Music: From Underdog to Top Music Exec & AAPI Mentor with Wendy Ong, Global Co-President of TaP Music

    Even today, it is nearly unheard of for a woman to break into the still largely white male-dominated music industry and rise the ranks to run a label or artist management company. And the amount of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women at the top is even smaller. Despite all odds, that’s exactly what Wendy Ong, Global Co-President / Chief Marketing Officer of artist and management company TaP Music did. 

    Wendy knows the importance of sharing her story. She has decades of experience working for major labels, including BMG, Arista, Capitol, and Roc Nation, and has helped put artists like OutKast and Dua Lipa (along with many others) on the global stage. However, as a young Asian woman from Signgapore, new to America without any contacts or knowledge of American culture, Wendy had to hustle her way in and frequently encountered difficult challenges that left her in tears. Due to her experiences, Wendy strives to be a mentor for AAPI music executives that she never had. Finding her home at TaP music, Wendy now manages some of the top solo female artists in music today as she understands the unique challenges women in the music industry face.

    Revolutionizing Olive Oil: Exposing Fraud, Scaling & Changing the Game with Aishwarya Iyer, Founder & CEO of Brightland

    Almost every home cook knows that most recipes begin with olive oil, but most can't tell you which brand or type they use, or if they even use 100% olive oil. This inspired Aishwarya Iyer, CEO and Founder of Brightland, a premium olive oil company, to launch her brand and ultimately revolutionize the olive oil industry.

    After innocently Googling "bad olive oil," Aishwarya stumbled across the fraudulent activities taking place in the olive oil industry. As she searched for premium 100% olive oil, Aishwarya knew it was up to her to tell the story of the farms in California producing quality olive oil. With this partnership, Aishwarya created Brightland, a premium olive oil brand sourced directly from the farmers. Choosing to start small, Aishwarya bought just 1000 bottles, which sold out within three days. In six years, she has grown the business to 8 plus figures and forever changed the way people think about olive oil.

    Revolutionizing Swimwear: From Market Gaps to Olympic Uniforms with Laura Low Ah Kee & Shannon Savage, Co-Founders of Left on Friday

    Going down in history as the first brand ever to design a one-shoulder bikini top for the 2024 Olympic Games, Left on Friday, official sponsor of Canada's National Women's Beach Volleyball Team, is changing the swimwear game. Whether you're an Olympic athlete or just like to relax poolside, Left on Friday's premium swimwear is the only suit you'll ever need.

    After realizing there were two distinct types of swimwear, one for function and one for fashion, friends and former lululemon executives, Laura Low Ah Kee and Shannon Savage saw a gap in the swimwear market and could not pass it up. Deciding to combine forces, they co-founded Left on Friday in 2017, making it the first premium active swimwear company to do both. From the start, they hit major walls from learning how to set up their business properly to fundraising during Covid. But the strength of their co-founder relationship and dedication to creating an exceptional product that fits ALL body types, kept them going. Now coming off of the high of designing an Olympic uniform and soon to be opening up global distribution, Laura and Shannon are just getting started.
