We love seeing the magic that happens when disciplines intersect. A big thank you to Nadav Berger and Peter Bodenheimer for visiting the N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative; and to Celeste Brogdon for inviting our CEO, Charles Dykes, to join the conversation. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the synergies between food innovation, plant science, and entrepreneurship. We also had the pleasure of joining the Alternative Protein class led by Bill Aimutis and Rohan Shirwaiker, where Nadav Berger, Toni Bucci, Doug Grant, and Charles Dykes shared invaluable insights. The students’ curiosity and engagement were truly inspiring. At Ummino, we’re all about building bridges across ecosystems to accelerate innovation. We're grateful to be part of conversations shaping the future of food.

A recent survey from Statista across 31 countries revealed a powerful truth: Mental health is the #1 health concern in the world today, surpassing even cancer, stress, and obesity. That tells us something urgent and deeply human. We’re all feeling it. At Ummino, we know Mental health doesn’t live in isolation. The #gut and the #brain are deeply connected, so much so, the gut is often called our second brain. Anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being are closely influenced by the state of our gut microbiome, inflammation levels, and the foods we consume every day. The post-pandemic world has opened hearts and minds to talk about mental health more openly. Now it’s time to take that conversation deeper. To the root. To the gut. To the systems that silently shape how we feel, think, and live. We’re building real solutions at Ummino to support both the body and the mind, because healing happens when we see the full picture. 🧠 Let’s normalize mental health. 🦠 Let’s prioritize gut health as part of that journey. 🤝 Let’s co-create a future of whole-person care. #MentalHealth #GutHealth #GutBrainConnection #Ummino #Wellbeing #HealthInnovation #HealingFromWithin #MicrobiomeHealth #FutureOfCare

Excited to share this fantastic infographic from Kristina Campbell, capturing the essence of her talk in Amsterdam! Gut health isn’t just about prebiotics, probiotics, and supplements; it’s also about quality sleep, stress management, regular exercise, a nourishing diet, and avoiding harmful additives. Plus, the gut-brain connection plays a crucial role in mental health. With chronic diseases and mental health concerns on the rise, prioritizing diet and lifestyle is key to extending our healthspan and preventing disease. At Ummino, we’re passionate about raising awareness and empowering people to make lasting, healthy choices. Let’s unlock the power of your health together! #GutHealth #PreventativeHealth #BrainHealth #HealthyLifestyle #Wellness #Ummino
