RESET YOUR HEALTH Trinity Jean Pate, St Edmund Hall, Second Year Undergraduate, BA Biomedical Sciences, A mixture of both Work Projects The first week of the internship was an introduction to the company and we spent time getting to understand how the company operated. RYH aims to improve the quality of life and reduce/alleviate symptoms for people with chronic health conditions by creating highly personalised meal plans that improve the gut microbiome. In the first couple of weeks, I worked on creating a presentation about the impact of the gut microbiome in mental health which Catherine (founder of RYH) was to present to NHS patients later in the month. This was really fun and allowed me to use some of the knowledge from my degree (biomedical sciences) to create content which was easy to understand for people who didn’t have a scientific background. In the last few weeks, I was put in charge of looking for investments for the company and helped to prepare them. I redesigned their pitch deck and their development plan documents and also helped draft applications. In the final week I started creating a business plan for the company and have been hired over the summer to finish creating it. Throughout the four weeks I also made informative social media posts, created Instagram reels of the recipes I cooked and wrote blog articles. The founder and head of marketing of the company had daily meetings with us and we had a constant stream of communication through WhatsApp whenever we had an update or an issue.
