Today, I'm joined by Katie Wilson, co-founder and CEO of BelliWelli.
Tackling digestive issues, BelliWelli combines fiber, probiotics, and electrolytes in cult-favorite powders and snacks — moving gut care from medicine cabinets to kitchen cupboards.
In this episode, we discuss making fiber fun and accessible for modern consumers.
We also cover:
-
Millennial women's wellness overwhelm
-
BelliWelli's product evolution and innovation pipeline
-
Building a retail-first strategy versus direct-to-consumer
