In this episode, Dr. Will Cole welcomes back Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, co-founder of Pendulum, to break down the cutting-edge science of the microbiome. From antibiotics and diet to fasting, fiber, and fermented foods, Colleen shares how keystone strains like Akkermansia impact GLP-1, insulin, and metabolic health.
