In this episode, we get a behind the scene look at how people are leveraging technology and scientific knowledge to help people optimize their health through nutrition. Dr. Sherry Zhang, an innovator, and CEO at GenoPalate shares with us the unique approach she is taking to tackling the problem of obesity.
Dr. Zhang is a mother, a scientist, and an entrepreneur. Her passion and love for life and science have taken her far from Northern Asia to America, from studying bacteria, plants to populations of humans, and from researching obesity genetics as a medical college professor to founding GenoPalate, a company that provides a direct-to-consumer solution for eating uniquely based on genetics for a healthier life.
Sherry earned her doctorate in molecular biology at Marquette University. She then dedicated 11 years studying genetic predisposition to obesity that is affecting two-thirds of adults and 17 million children and adolescents of our country.
In 2016, Sherry founded her third startup GenoPalate, a data-driven personalized nutrition platform that helps individuals achieve and maintain their optimal health and prevent chronic diseases by providing personalized nutrition recommendations based on an analysis of their genetic profile.
Besides leading GenoPalate, Sherry likes to spend her time with her son that currently is into football, basketball and advising Sherry on how to help kids eat healthily.
