Cerebelly’s Post

Speaking with peers, colleagues, and friends who attended #expowest2024 many of us have agreed on one comment theme: there is a wave of "better for you" as a must, not an option anymore in the natural food space. This next wave of innovation and brands emerging in the space are prioritizing their tailored niches within their categories. At Cerebelly, we're not just making "better for you" baby food. We're fusing scientific neurobiology research with life-changing nutrition to fuel our next generations' futures. Thank you Bain & Company for including us in your trend article following #expowest as we prioritize tailored nutrition to improve the cognitive development of children everywhere in an accessible format through purees and snack bars. #CPG #innovation #expowest #naturalfoods #babyfood Read more via the link below:

Harini Venkataraman, PhD from Lux Research kindly provided me with a preview of the presentation she will give at the Active Nutrition Summit next month. I wrote up this brief report to give a flavour of what delegates will learn. She is set to describe the key drivers of the cognitive health nutrition space, the innovation successes and failures, the partnerships and the scientific discoveries - excited to see it! #activenutritionsummit #cognitivehealth #brainhealth #cognitivehealth #innovation #foodanddrink #marketresearch

Imagine a world where nutrition advice is tailored specifically to YOU—your genetics, lifestyle, and health status.

🚀Are we on the brink of a revolution in Anti-Aging? The incredible biotech startup, CHRYSEA, founded by the visionary, Patrick Keohane, certainly thinks so. This Dublin-based company is pushing the boundaries of science and wellness by embracing synthetic biology to enhance natural lifespan mechanisms. Determined to maintain cell health and longevity, CHRYSEA is developing nutritional interventions to enhance autophagy - a natural anti-aging mechanism. Their aim doesn't just stop at tapping into age-related disorders, they're engineering a healthier, longer life for all of us! Read more about how this startup is revolutionizing the biotech, dietary supplements, life science, and wellness industries in our latest article: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/giGmWQ5X Getting older may be inevitable, but with companies like CHRYSEA, aging doesn't have to feel the same. #Chrysea #Biotechnology #AntiAging #LifeScience #Wellness #StartUpBubble #SyntheticBiology #LifespanMechanism #autophagy #PatrickKeohane #StartupNews #FutureOfHealthcare

The scientists at Ani Biome developed a methodology to significantly increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) within the gut, using the gut as an "internal bioreactor." The aim here is to decrease the low-grade chronic inflammation, which is a common underlying process in chronic conditions related to aging. The company is using machine learning-based platform for research and health monitoring. #biotech #biopharmatrend

Excited to announce: Viome Acquires Naring Health To Further Its Lead In Personalized Nutrition And Longevity Viome’s acquisition of Naring Health brings together expertise in microbiome analysis, food science, and proteomics from multiple different companies to offer more comprehensive health solutions. Both Viome and Naring Health share a common goal of providing personalized wellness tools that enable food to be used as medicine. While their strengths lie in slightly different areas - Viome focusing on the microbiome and Naring Health on multi-omics - they now unite under a shared vision of transforming healthcare through advanced, personalized solutions that are backed by data and science. #Viome #ViomeLifeSciences

As a former NFL player (“Not For Long”) turned CEO of PURIS, I've often encountered the bias that athletes should shy away from plant-based proteins due to their supposed lack of completeness. I’ve heard the well-intentioned yet misguided advice, “you can’t build muscle on a plant protein diet, whey is the only choice.” This belief system is deep into the subconscious of athletes, weekend warriors, and everyday people trying to consume more protein. So where did it come from? If you Google “is soy protein good for athletes,” the top suggested related searches point to the narrative that soy protein is bad for males. Historically, the plant protein inferiority theory was mainly focused on soy and the baggage soy protein carries. Depending on your beliefs on GMO vs non-GMO or how soy protein is made (using hexane), the narrative around soy protein was that it is bad for athletes, especially males, and has inferior amino acids (it doesn’t) Google is a search engine, but it's not always a truth engine. Studies debunk these old beliefs, showing that plant proteins, especially soy and pea protein, provide all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle building, recovery, and overall athletic performance. Pea protein stands out due to its high bioavailability, meaning your body can efficiently utilize the nutrients it offers. Sourced from the right suppliers pea protein is quite Google friendly! For example, research indicates that pea protein can promote muscle growth as effectively as animal-derived proteins. This is crucial for athletes looking to maintain and build muscle mass without relying on traditional animal sources. At PURIS, we want to have more conversations about this, not fewer. So, we are hosting a webinar with some prestigious panelists, including one specifically who has a unique perspective on the diets of the highest level of athletes. Jenna Stangland, MS, RDN, CSSD, LDN, CLT is the sports dietitian for the Minnesota Timberwolves (competing highly in the playoffs, IYKYK), and she is joining PURIS to dive deeper into the science behind plant proteins and their Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Scores (PDCAAS). Our other important guests include (Dr Robert Wildman & James House). Don’t miss this webinar and do join the conversation in the comments below. Webinar Link: https://lnkd.in/gWGmGUJe

If you are curious about the nutritional quality of plant proteins, check out our expert panel tomorrow! Registration info in the post below. Plants are such a great source of essential amino acids. I know that nutrition science has evolved a lot since I played college sports (which was at this point a LONG time ago!!!!) but we still have a ways to go to overcoming some myths about plant proteins, especially in performance nutrition. Excited to see what this panel has to say!!

Cool milestone - our paper "Precision nutrition: A systematic literature review" just reached 100 citations, a reflection of the interest in two very hot research right now. It was a pleasure to work on this together with Bedir Tekinerdogan and Cagatay C., two people I'm pleased to be part of my academic career so far. Looking forward to seeing where the field of precision nutrition ends up and the role that machine learning will inevitably play in it! #precisionnutrition #machinelearning #AI https://lnkd.in/esnZSE9f

Great summary of tax benefits of research activities.
