What do sea turtles, science, and cannabis have in common? In this episode, Ellen Scanlon talks with Caitlyn Krebs, the CEO and co-founder of Nalu Bio, a San Francisco-based biotech company unlocking the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids. With Mother’s Day around the corner, this conversation offers a timely look at what it takes to lead a high-growth startup, raise a family, and build the future of women’s health, all at the same time.

If you're curious about the science behind cannabis and want to feel inspired about the future of women’s health, you’ll be glad you got to know this innovative founder. "I believe cannabinoids are the next big thing, much like vitamins were 70 years ago.
