Bio-Hack Collagen
Why it keeps us healthy and young for longer
Sandra-Stella Triebl interviewed our founder Dr. Vanessa Craig for the winter issue of Ladies Drive. Read the intro now.
Today I have to introduce you to someone who has made an incredibly deep impression on me and taught me an incredible amount. I’m talking about Dr. Vanessa Craig – the founder of Formetta.
Vanessa studied Molecular Biology and Genetics in Sydney with an honors degree in Biochemistry. It was during these years that she began to understand the havoc that inflammation can wreak on our bodies and painstakingly tried to find out what environmental factors influence it. She later completed a PhD in molecular oncology at the University of Zurich and patented two of her discoveries – targeted cancer therapies. At the Novartis Institute of Biomedical Research, her research and scientific journey continued, now in the field of epigenetics, the lifestyle factors that influence our genes and ensure that genes are switched on or off. At Stanford, she went on to study nutritional science and longevity and thus discovered all the influences that make us stay healthy and alert for as long as possible.
Even after the first few minutes of our conversation, I was blown away. I can hardly remember ever having met someone with such a pronounced thirst for knowledge, never giving up, always searching and always finding. A doctor who never stopped learning and found out for herself that – despite all the studies and research – she still doesn’t know everything and that it’s worth looking at our bodies holistically and as a whole.
