Zack Abbott - ZBiotics

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Zack Abbott, founder of ZBiotics, the world’s first ever genetically engineered probiotic (first user case: curing hangovers). They're a Y-Combinator company and have raised capital from from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley to support their cutting edge science and mission. 

This episode was recorded a few months ago at their SF headquarters before their product was in market. They have since launched and are really making a splash. I tried the product pre-launch and saw noticeable results (although I didn’t push the limits of the use case, cheers 🍻)

Some cool things we talk about:

• The science: https://zbiotics.com/pages/science
• Why genetic engineering is critical in sustaining humanity
• The details of getting a new supplement through FDA approval
• Why Impossible Burgers taste so good - https://impossiblefoods.com/
• What's next for the company
