Excerpts from Xconomy:
Like a lot of people in New England, Tara Mardigan didn’t get much sleep Sunday night.
Unlike a lot of people, Mardigan is team nutritionist for the Boston Red Sox. Asked what she put in Gomes’s cereal yesterday, she jokes that it was “100 percent natural.”
And that’s about all Mardigan would say specifically about the players’ eating habits. But she could talk freely about a startup that she’s involved with—Cambridge, MA-based Segterra, a personal health and wellness company. Mardigan sits on the startup’s scientific advisory board and serves as a consultant on nutrition.
Segterra makes a Web-based health platform called InsideTracker. Based on analyzing a blood sample, the company makes personalized recommendations on food and lifestyle to improve an individual’s health and performance. The company is led by CEO Rony Sellam and founder Gil Blander.
