Podcasts about consumer health

The consumer healthcare industry is changing. Companies are separating from their pharmaceutical parents and brands are shifting from therapeutic solutions to preventative health and wellness options. These shifts bring a number of challenges for OTC firms, notes AdverCheck managing director James Walmsley in the second part of his chat with HBW. For example, it is much more difficult to get science-backed claims for food supplements approved, he points out. With firms now also becoming standalone consumer health entities, there is no longer a direct pipeline of off-patent prescription medicines available for Rx-to-OTC switch, he observes. We may, therefore, see a new generation of switch-focused self-care companies and partnerships emerging. Keywords: Innovation, AdverCheck, OTC medicines, Consumer Health, Rx-to-OTC switch Timeline

Creativity can sometimes be about discovering what in retrospect seems obvious, like shoes that are shaped to fit our feet, marketing expert Beverley Law tells HBW Insight in the first episode of this season's Over the Counter podcast. But this often requires stepping out of established approaches and patterns of thinking, she points out, which tend to characterise innovation in the consumer health industry. Law offers some tips to help firms think outside the box, including being brave, benchmarking against the fast-moving consumer goods industry, and including regulatory experts much earlier on in the process.

Today we’re going to bring you an inside look into an Italian pharmaceutical firm with over 135 years of history. Founded in 1886 in Naples under the name of Farmacia Internazionale, our guest for today is from Menarini Group, a leading pharmaceutical and diagnostics company with a presence in over 140 countries. The firm prides itself as a leading provider of important healthcare brands, with its 18 manufacturing plants producing over 609 million packets of products a year. To this end, Menarini said it operates across the entire commercial value chain, from clinical development, regulatory approval and product launch to lifecycle management with a diverse portfolio of proprietary and partnered brands in key therapeutic fields. That includes Consumer Health, Dermatology, Allergy or Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Cardio-metabolic, Anti-infectives, Oncology or Specialty Care and more. All in, Menarini reported consolidated turnover of 4.375 billion euros in 2023, with international markets contributing 79% to the numbers. But how much of this is contributed by demand from the Asia-Pacific region? Meanwhile, Menarini is also seeing a number of interesting developments of late. For one thing, Menarini APAC had in June 2024 expanded its partnership with Pharmacosmos to tackle iron deficiency in patients in Singapore and Malaysia. So just how important are such licensing deals and partnerships in helping Menarini broaden its offerings while lowering R&D costs? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Glen Godresse, CEO, Menarini APAC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been nearly twenty years since 23andMe, the consumer health company was founded. Since then, other companies have emerged, and in exchange for a tube of spit, a puff of breath, or a drop of blood, consumers can now not only find their ancestry and long-lost relatives, but learn what to eat that day or discover food sensitivities and propensity for diseases. But are these tests effective and what are the pitfalls of using a company you found on Instagram to test whether you're likely to suffer from Alzheimer's or cancer? And when those companies cease to exist, as troubled 23andMe might, what happens to all that health data? It's one thing to share your email address or mobile number, and an entirely different proposition to share your genome. We'll talk to experts about the world of consumer DNA-testing and how to protect yourself and your genome. Guests: Kristen V. Brown, staff writer, Atlantic Magazine Hank Greely, law professor; founding director, Center for Law and the Biosciences, Stanford University

France's Economy and Industry ministers, Antoine Armand and Marc Ferracci, are heading to Lisieux this Monday to visit the production sites of popular headache reliever Doliprane. The visit takes place after the maker of the pill, French pharma group Sanofi, said it was in talks to sell off its consumer health business to a US private equity firm. The deal has raised fears for French health sovereignty and job security. We also take a look at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, which kicks off Monday.

In this episode, Vijay Pande and Daisy Wolf of a16z Bio + Health join a16z Podcast host Steph Smith to make a provocative case for why technologists—not just medical professionals—are key to reinventing healthcare. They argue that to transform a sector representing 20% of U.S. GDP, innovation must move beyond curing diseases toward tackling healthcare's broken systems. By likening the healthcare industry to a logistics challenge, Vijay and Daisy outline how technologists can leverage their expertise in consumer engagement, operational efficiency, and AI to drive the next frontier of health innovation. They also explore high-impact opportunities like improving patient experiences and deploying AI for behavioral change at scale. If you're ready to explore new paths in healthcare, this episode is essential listening for understanding the powerful role technologists can play in shaping its future.

Is the Fed's latest rate cut a sign of turbulent times ahead or a smart move to sustain growth?In this week's episode of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, examine the Federal Reserve's significant decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points (or half a percentage point) — the first reduction since March 2020. This pivotal move carries major implications for investors, the economy, and overall market sentiment. Ryan and Sonu explore the reasoning behind the Fed's policy shift and explain what it means for those managing portfolios in today's financial landscape.Are we looking at a new phase of economic momentum, or are there hidden risks on the horizon? The hosts offer a detailed analysis, along with practical advice for financial advisors and investors adjusting their strategies in response to this new economic reality.Key Highlights:Federal Reserve's Rate Cut: The Fed's first interest rate reduction in over three years is framed as a strategic risk management tool designed to stabilize employment and promote sustained growth rather than a reaction to looming recession fearsResilient Economic Data: Despite the rate cut, key sectors like industrial production and retail sales continue to show strength. Robust growth in high-tech industries and online shopping underscores the overall resilience of the economyConsumer Debt and Health: While consumer debt has hit record highs, it remains manageable. Low delinquency rates and minimal bankruptcy filings suggest that household finances remain relatively stableStock Market Gains: Recent stock market gains are driven by strong corporate profit growth rather than inflated valuations. With healthy corporate balance sheets and expanding profit margins, the outlook for continued market growth remains positiveHousing Market Rebound: Although mortgage rates remain high, improvements in housing permits and starts suggest that the Fed's rate cuts are beginning to stimulate activity in the housing sector, a key driver of economic growthBond Market Reactions: Long-term treasury yields have risen despite the rate cut — a positive signal indicating confidence in the economy's future growth rather than fears of a potential recessionFuture Market Outlook: Historical data shows that markets often perform well after major Fed rate cuts, particularly when supported by strong economic momentum, as is currently the caseAnd much more!Resources:Any questions about the show?

Interest in the human gut microbiome and the influence it exerts on a person's wellbeing, from cognitive health to immunity, has been rapidly increasing in recent years. In this episode of HBW Insight's Over the Counter podcast we speak to Dublin-based food company Kerry Group about a particularly exciting, emerging area of microbiome-based wellness, postbiotics, which are defined by the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) as a “preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host.” Given that postbiotics rely on inanimate ingredients, rather than live cultures as in yoghurts, they, may provide more suitable vehicles for consumer health innovation, suggests Kerry Group's RDA senior manager of immune and joint health, Sonja Nodland. Nodland also explains what kinds of postbiotics are currently on the European market, for example for digestive and skin health and immunity, and the regulatory challenges that postbiotics share with other microbiome products in the region, such as pre- and pro-biotics.

In this episode, HBW Insight catches up with Albert Swane, founder and CEO of Dutch consumer healthcare firm, TheOTCLab, to talk about business strategy. Having grown the company with widely successful European OTC medical devices like Dr. Yglo, FungeX and Kidsner, Swane is perfectly placed to explain how to create and grow OTC brands. Swane also offers some sage advice on partnering, reflects on the fantastic opportunity of TheOTCLabs expanding into the US, and shares his experiences of using social media to raise the profile of the OTC industry.

As people become more conscious and more knowledgeable about their health, it's on brands and health institutions to become more intimately aware of their consumer's (or patient's) health needs and goals. Someone who "does their own research" isn't operating in a silo - they still rely on the opinions of others, friends, influencers, health professionals and brands, to validate their decisions.In this episode, we are joined by Dan Weaden, CEO of Havas Consumer Health, to talk about the wide array of influences to a consumer's decision making journey. Understanding this journey starts with an acknowledgement of the changing landscape of how consumers interact with health brands, their priorities, the best channels to reach them, and their desire to interact authentically.If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to say hi, email us at medicalanthropology@havas.comCheck out Breaking the Code on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/breaking-the-code-havas-health-and-you-podcast

Haleon, a world-leading consumer health company, are dealing with large enterprise legacy, as they were formed via a demerger from GSK. While product engineering and the transition to product-centric organizations are often associated solely with born-in-the-cloud companies, the reality is usually much broader, and Haleon are on that journey. This week Dave, Rob and Sjoukje talk to Steve Westgarth, Global Head of Engineering & Architecture at Haleon, about product engineering best practices, building high performing teams, aligning product teams with the business, getting the engineers as close to the business as possible and whether Agile is dead or not.TLDR:02:30 Cookie confusion05:40 Cloud conversation with Steve Westgarth 29:00 Five key characteristics of high performing teams  35:00 A surprise birthday party!GuestSteve Westgarth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevewestgarth/HostsDave Chapman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Sjoukje Zaal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjoukjezaal/Rob Kernahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ProductionMarcel Van Der Burg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-van-der-burg-99a655/Dave Chapman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/SoundBen Corbett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/

In this episode, HBW Insight's Europe and US editors Tom Gallen and Malcolm Spicer bring their expertise to bear on the current the trend towards standalone OTC companies in global consumer health. We look at four major players: Haleon, which separated from GSK almost two years ago, Kenvue, soon to celebrate its first anniversary as a new company; Sanofi, which has announced it will be exiting the OTC market by divesting its OTC business and Bayer, which has decided to buck the trend, holding on to its consumer health division. We discuss some of the possible advantages of becoming a standalone company, for example in leaning into a wider concept of self-care.

About the Guest(s): Debbie Gokie serves as the Vice President of Consumer Health and Ease of Use at the Arthritis Foundation, a position that leverages her expertise in health to benefit consumers with arthritis. Through her work, Debbie coordinates with brands and oversees the testing of their products to ensure they meet the ease of use standards set by the Arthritis Foundation. In this role, she also helps to dispel myths about arthritis, educate on its prevalence among all age groups, and advocates for packaging that is accessible to everyone, including those with arthritis. Support the Sponsors: Factory Direct Packaging Manufacturer: IDPdirect.com Manage your packaging specifications with Specright.com In this insightful episode, Evelio Mattos sits with Debbie Goki to unveil the challenges faced by individuals with arthritis and the importance of designing accessible packaging for them. This conversation sheds light on a frequently overlooked topic within the realm of packaging design—ease of use for people living with arthritis. The episode is not only revealing of the prevalent misconceptions about arthritis but also emphasizes the power designers wield in enhancing the quality of life for millions affected by this chronic condition. Delving deep into the intricate relationship between consumer products and accessibility, Evelio and Debbie address the obstacles encountered by both adults and children with arthritis. They explore real-world scenarios where packaging design falls short, leading to products that are often too difficult to open. Debbie outlines how the Arthritis Foundation's testing and certification program can be a beacon for brands, guiding them towards creating packaging that fosters user autonomy. The episode underscores the profound impact and positive brand loyalty that can result from thoughtful design that considers all potential users. Arthritis affects over 60 million adults in the United States, with two-thirds under age 65, challenging the stereotype that it is only a condition for the elderly. The Arthritis Foundation can certify products as "ease of use," ensuring they are accessible for those with arthritis, thereby promoting brand loyalty and consumer retention. Debbie emphasizes that accessible design transcends catering to those with arthritis—it offers independence and empowers users by removing barriers of product usage. The episode reveals the upcoming launch of design guidelines by the Arthritis Foundation to assist designers and engineers in creating products that are easy to use for everyone. A significant statistic mentioned is that 72% of consumers prefer products that are easy to use, highlighting the business incentive for accessible design. "Once you get a product that you can open, and it's easy to use. You're not going to switch brands." - Debbie "The majority of our brands have said it's a shelf differentiator." - Debbie "We want to be able to give them their yeses." - Debbie "If I make something easier to use and more accessible, I'm empowering somebody." - Debbie The resources and references mentioned in the episode include the Arthritis Foundation website at arthritis.org. Also highlighted are the design guidelines being launched by the Arthritis Foundation, which will be available on their website for public access.

Our analyst explains what parts of the consumer staples sector could benefit from an aging global population.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Sarah Simon, Head of the European consumer staples team at Morgan Stanley, and today I'll be talking the increasingly important longevity theme and its impact on consumers. It's Thursday, the first of February, at 3 PM in London.It's no secret that global life expectancy is increasing. The rise of modern medicine, improved working conditions, urbanization, and greater access to food and water have all contributed to a greater life expectancy. According to the United Nations, global life expectancy has risen more than 54% since 1950, reaching about 71 years in 2021, with Asia improving the most. At the same time people are living longer, birth rates for most developed economies have dropped. Higher levels of education, the increasing proportion of women in the workforce, and modern medicine have all contributed to lower birth rates. In fact, over the last several decades, the global population has aged significantly, with the median global age increasing 8 years since 1950, hitting 30 years in 2021. Looking ahead, the United Nations expects the percentage of population aged 65+ will continue to increase at a faster rate than younger populations. An ageing population has far-reaching implications, but let's consider the spending power of older adults. Real disposable income among older adults has increased throughout the years. In 2022, an older adult had about 50% more than in 2000. As a result, older adults today have more money to spend on consumer goods and services than in the last decades. Here are three categories within the Consumer Staples sector that could benefit from the rise in longevity.First, Consumer Health. As consumers skew older and their disposable income increases it bodes well for a wide range of consumer health products – think Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS), denture care, cold and flu remedies and more.Second, Active Nutrition, including protein supplements and probiotic-rich foods such as kimchi, kombucha, or yogurt, is a likely beneficiary of the longevity theme. This sub-category is currently growing mid- to high single digits on average (over 10% for protein-related categories), and we see room for further long-term growth.Finally, Medical Nutrition. With age comes increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including cancers, and with malnutrition. Addressing malnutrition improves the cost, and effectiveness, of medical treatment and also allows for shorter hospital stays. To that end, healthcare providers are increasing turning to medical nutritional solutions--driving demand for these products.Thanks for listening.

Rachel Kaufman is the Senior Director, Global Sustainability at Avantor, a leading global provider of mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences and technology industries. In this role, Rachel is responsible for establishing the company's environmental sustainability strategies and targets related to operations and products. She also oversees Avantor's broader Science for Goodness Sustainability Program and leads ESG reporting and customer and investor ESG engagement. Rachel's sustainability industry experience spans over 20 years. Before joining Avantor, she served as the Global Director of Environmental Sustainability for Johnson & Johnson's Consumer Health and Vision Care segments and managed communications and environmental policy for non-profit and government agencies in Washington, DC. Rachel holds a B.S. in NaturalResources from Cornell University and an MBA from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Rachel Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Avantor's internal sustainability program: Science for Goodness Achieving consistent GHG reductions year over year How Avantor is addressing product use Avantor's responsible supplier program Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Rachel's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  Hopefully this doesn't come across as something that is obvious, but I would say, I view corporate sustainability quite differently than I view nonprofit work, environmental, conservation work. There is a business side of it. I decided to go back and get my MBA. I'm not saying that's what you need to do, but somehow really beef up that understanding of: what are the challenges that your functional and cross-functional partners are facing. What is it like to be the CFO? What might be their barriers to being able to approve the investment that you need to achieve your sustainability goals? Getting an understanding of the Head of Sales and HR and where their challenges are I think is really key to being able to have those conversations and progress quickly on sustainability goals.  What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?  It's the spotlight, the debate and the day-to-day. The fact that in mass media right now, when you hear about these severe weather events, there's a mention of climate. When there's talk of the economy, there's a discussion of equity. It's really encouraging to see these topics get into the mainstream conversations on the related topics because they are so integral and so interrelated.  What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read?  I actually am not a huge reader of books. I get a lot of my information from reading articles, current events and podcasts. I would recommend folks follow some of the newsletters such as GreenBiz, Corporate Eco Forum, Sustainable Brands, and a top one I really like is actually the New York Stock Exchange. They do a top five ESG weekly roundup. I find that that's just a really great quick summary of what's happening in this space, particularly from that investor perspective. So I'm going to actually do a surprising plug for some of those email newsletters  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  One answer is the newsletters and the distributors that I just mentioned, but actually the sustainability network. We all have it, but I've joined a couple of sustainability groups of peers where we've been able to have these honest conversations of the challenges in a safe space. It is so helpful to hear that you are not alone in these challenges, and to be able to share learnings you have and be able to share confidentially and hear from others on how they have overcome some of the challenges. Find that network. Some are more structured than others where you can ask for those honest conversations. There's a few that I'm a part of that other folks you've had on the phone are a part of and we have spoken to about achieving these targets together.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at Avantor? Our corporate website, which is avantorsciences.com. It's actually getting an overhaul soon, but it has a bunch of sustainability information under the “About Us.” Then of course you can follow myself or Avantor on LinkedIn. We do post quite a bit about our sustainability, DEI, and the work that we're doing in this space on LinkedIn.
