Gut Check: Let's Talk Akkermansia & Continuous Glucose Monitors (& What Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe Changed After Using One!)
In this episode, Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, CEO and co-founder of Pendulum, delves into the vital role of the gut microbiome and Pendulum's innovative products in optimizing metabolic health. She discusses the significance of the gut microbiome in metabolic health, immune function, and beyond. Dr. Cutcliffe offers practical advice for individuals navigating antibiotic treatments and emphasizes the importance of choosing high-quality probiotic supplements. Furthermore, she underscores the benefits of continuous glucose monitors and explores the possible synergies between Pendulum's Glucose Control and GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic for enhanced outcomes. Additionally, she outlines Pendulum's research focus on improving gut metabolism and elucidating the gut-brain connection as promising avenues for future intervention. Takeaways The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in metabolic health, cardiovascular health, immune response, and brain health. Microbiome transplants have shown promise in treating obesity and other health conditions. Antibiotics and diet can significantly impact the composition of the gut microbiome. Probiotics and prebiotics can help restore and support a healthy gut microbiome. Pendulum's glucose control product has been shown to lower A1C and blood glucose spikes in people with type 2 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitors provide valuable data on how different foods affect blood glucose levels. Combining Pendulum's glucose control with GLP-1 medications may offer additional benefits. Pendulum is focused on ongoing research and development to improve metabolic health and support patients in transitioning off medications. 00:00 Introduction and Background 02:01 Pendulum's Journey and Products 04:30 What is Akkermansia? 06:43 The Importance of the Gut Microbiome 09:22 Microbiome Transplants and Obesity 14:12 Factors Affecting the Microbiome 16:12 Recovering from Antibiotic Use 18:25 Probiotics and Prebiotics 20:07 GLP-1 and Pendulum's Approach 28:53 Pendulum's A1C Study 30:41 CGM and Glucose Control 33:00 Weight Loss and Glucose Control 35:21 Butyrate and Butyrate Supplements 36:30 Future Research and Conclusion 42:11 To visit Victory Men's Health Click HERE To visit Pendulum Click HERE Improvements to postprandial glucose control in subjects with type 2 diabetes: a multicenter, double blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial of a novel probiotic formulation For questions email podcast@amystuttle.com Disclaimer: The Women Want Strong Men Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

On today's episode, I have Dave Lee, founder of Advanced Fundamental Health, and a highly respected figure in the Testosterone Optimization space.

When it comes to TRT, when is the point of no return, approximately speaking? I understand every human is different but I’d like to gather a consensus. 4.
