This GLP-1-Supporting Probiotic Is A Constant In Our Longevity Stack

Join me and Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, my brilliant friend, scientist, and the powerhouse CEO of Pendulum, for our deepest dive yet into all things Akkermansia. This free-flowing conversation will take your understanding of this extraordinary strain to a whole new level. We’ll explore Akkermansia’s pivotal role in metabolic health—think cravings, weight regulation, A1C—and why we’re deficient in the first place. Plus, we’ll discuss its connection to stress, anxiety, and even neurodegenerative diseases. We’ll also dive into the hotly debated topic of Akkermansia’s impact on MS, unpacking both sides of the controversy. And, we’ll touch on its promising influence on hormonal balance, from infertility to menopause. </p> As someone who's deeply invested in science, I’m personally bullish on Akkermansia and trust Pendulum’s products as part of my own foundational health stack. With groundbreaking science and fresh insights, this episode will change the way you approach your practice. ~DrKF </p> <p>Check out the show notes at <a href="https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/" target="_blank">https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/</a> for the full list of links and resources.</p> </div> <h2>GUEST DETAILS</h2> Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of Pendulum Therapeutics </a></p> Colleen Cutcliffe is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Pendulum.
