TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
In this episode of Failing Up, I sit down with Vanessa Rissetto, CEO and co-founder of Culina Health — a registered dietitian, founder, mother, and certified badass — to talk about what she learned while battling breast cancer while raising $10M to build her company. This is a conversation about resilience, systems that fail us, and what real health actually looks like when the stakes are life-or-death.
We unpack the uncomfortable truths about modern healthcare:
– The hidden biases inside the medical system
– Whether “automated doctors” and AI should replace human care
– How obesity actually evolved (and what GLP-1s get right — and wrong)
– Why your microbiome diversity matters more than you think
– And why holistic health beats over-medicating every time
