Big day @HelainaHQ! We're producing #Lactoferrin at scale, but it's just the beginning. As we work to change the #functionalfoods landscape, our #precisionfermentation platform can make all bioactive proteins to support #immunehealth - goodbye R&D & hello to commercialization. 👋.

Until @HelainaHQ Lactoferrin is available, I rely heavily on lentils for Leo to get his iron. This 1 year old loves red lentil curry. He also loves @NovaFerrum

Great to see some positive news around #genderparity this weekend, with women "projected to make up half of corporate leadership as early as 2030" per @SPGMarketIntel . @FortuneMagazine broke down the numbers --

The number of women in the boardroom and C-suite has more than doubled since 2010, per S&P’s analysis of the Russell 3000.

This is why we're excited to be the first company that's harnessing our bodies’ innate power via technology, scaling it to make the benefits of human proteins accessible to everyone as a high-value ingredient in #functionalfoods. What about the future of food excites you most?.

#Lactoferrin supports more than the growth & development of infants. It's also beneficial for adults, regulating iron levels, improving nutrient absorption & supporting cognitive health. Plus, it's great for energy, endurance & gut health.

We need more of this 👇. @HelainaHQ, we're building an environment centered around equity in the workplace and supporting our employees at all stages of their lives. It's why we offer a fully stocked pumping room, childcare reimbursement program, and more.
Unless one can generate a protective field, moms need safe, comfortable spaces where they can breastfeed or express milk at work. To support breastfeeding moms, employers can provide options like:. 🕙Flexible work schedules.🧸On-site childcare. 🛜 Teleworking.⌛️Part-time work

Societally, we need to break the #breastfeeding stigma, empowering women to decide what's best for their child. The opportunity to change the narrative and better support today's parents is now.

A year in, I've learned:. Feeding an infant doesn't wait for busy schedules. As parents, we have to make it work. I've nursed in cars, planes and even in front of the Colosseum. 🏟️. It takes countless hours & support to keep going. Yet, most people don't have this access.

This weekend, we celebrated my son, Leo's, 1st birthday 🌟. The timing coincides w. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek which has me reflecting on my own journey of exclusively breastfeeding him.

I offered some of my thoughts around this topic over @MotherlyMedia -

Here's what companies can do to truly support their employees beyond maternity leave because parental leave isn't enough.

The truth is, U.S. working mom's need more support. “The need for support extends well beyond the limited early stages of parenthood & yet tends to drop off precipitously beyond that point in time at which mothers return from parental leave." @The_Mom_Project @FortuneMagazine.
The arrival of a firstborn child doesn’t have any effect on a man’s earnings, but moms experience a 51% dock in pay.
