Erin doesn't typically have brands come on the show to promote their products, but we're such a BIG fan of Pendulum at Team FN that we couldn't resist! Learn more about how GLP-1 works to increase satiety and curb cravings (and why it's labeled as such!). We're also discussing how probiotics help to support overall metabolic health. This episode is for you if you're interested in learning more about GLP-1, your metabolism or gut health. OR if you're a practitioner who utilizes probiotics — or works with metabolic health — in your practice.
Colleen Cutcliffe is the CEO and Co-Founder of Pendulum. She has over 25 years of experience leading and managing biology teams in academia, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Prior to starting Pendulum, Colleen was the Senior Manager of Biology at Pacific Biosciences and a Scientist at Elan Pharmaceuticals. Colleen received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Johns Hopkins University and her B.A. in Biochemistry from Wellesley College.
