Summary

We also dive into how the gut is linked to your metabolism, the popular trend of glucose control and why we should be concerned about our glucose levels, and why an increasing number of people are seeking natural alternatives to metformin.

Hi, guys. It's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.

0:10.0

So we're doing a podcast today with Colleen Cutcliffe, who is the CEO of a company called Pendalim.

0:17.5

And the reason why we're doing this podcast, just to kind of be complete transparent,

0:22.8

is, would you call yourself a microbiome scientific, what would you say you, what would

0:28.0

you call the company before I kind of go into my whole spiel? And the reason why I'm asking is because

0:32.3

the reason why we're doing this is your products are so much different than the other products on the market. And when I say

0:40.6

that is I have my own experience with gut microbiome with what it's done for my health. It's

0:47.2

been so incredible that I wanted to share this with my audience with you guys. I wanted to

0:51.6

introduce Colleen because she is the inventor and the one who

0:55.2

brought this whole thing to life. And that's what I'm saying. Because it is, it helps with so

0:59.9

many different things, but I see it as a gut microbiome, I guess, supplement company. Would that be

1:06.3

accurate? Well, we're really a biotech company at the heart of it. So it is. It's a microbiome biotech company and the products that we have now come in the form of a supplement and so they can look like a lot of the other supplements. But the way that they were designed, the way they've been tested, what they're intended to do have really been developed like a biotech company. Yeah. And like I said, you guys are going to like hear why we're doing

1:28.3

this with Colleen today because it really did change my health. And also a lot of people in my

1:34.9

life and my friends who've actually seen a major difference, they've taken, I was telling

1:38.7

Colleen before that, you know, people took their blood before using some of your products and after.

1:45.0

And there was a significant difference in their overall, their biomarkers were significantly better after taking your products.

1:55.0

And the reason why, again, I'm doing this is because it's so, it's so congested the space of,

2:00.7

especially anything in terms of supplements,

2:02.9

microbiome, gut health, all of it. And so it's very hard to like kind of cut through all the clutter

2:08.4

and know what to do, how to do it. And when I really kind of delved into the science and like all

2:14.4

the science that you guys have done and how you guys have really created something

2:18.7

that is so unique. I wanted to help promote it and have you on. So that's a long way of saying,
