Brief summary of show:
In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, I speak with Mia Funt, co-founder and president of ByHeart, a next-generation baby nutrition company dedicated to empowering parents everywhere with feeding choices that build a healthier foundation for their babies’ lives to follow. ByHeart products are crafted with farm-to-formula quality, leading nutrition science, and ingredient transparency to sit at the forefront of immune, cognitive, digestive and microbiome health.
Mia shares about the launch of their first formula in March 2022, which was the first new U.S. infant formula manufacturer registered with the FDA in over 15 years. ByHeart's formula is an easy-to-digest recipe with all-in-one benefits and certified ingredients.
Beyond being the only U.S. brand to own manufacturing, it also runs clinical trials to prove the benefits of their products. Mia discusses the challenges of formula availability, the importance of providing access, and the company's commitment to donating formula to families in need. Overall, ByHeart aims to support parents in feeling confident about and prepared for feeding their babies effectively.
