Welcome, welcome, welcome to armchair expert, experts on expert.

Hi.

Long time coming, we really are interested in this.

For people who've been listening to the show for years, there was a period six years ago

where we were obsessed with getting a fecal transplant from our friend Amy.

Yep.

And it took us six years to get someone who actually knows about this space.

And her name is Colleen Cutcliffe, and she is a microbiome scientist and health advisory board member for Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Very prestigious school, the one you don't like to say because there's an S at the end of John.

Plural and plural.

There was something funny on the internet.

I forget exactly what it was, but it was like people have trouble with pronouns, but they're able to say Ruth's Chris.

That's hard for me too.

It's hard.

Yeah, it's two essay.

Yeah.

At any rate, very prestigious, as we know.

And she has a company, you'll hear about it, called Pendulum, that is making probiotics and prebiotics and with a much different degree of oversight.

Yeah, like, does Ruth own Chris?

Right.
