Your gut is not just involved in your gastrointestinal health. It also influences your metabolism, immune response, and even brain health.

Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, a microbiome scientist and CEO of Pendulum Therapeutics, reveals the surprising connections between the 100 trillion microbial cells in our gut and nearly every aspect of our health and longevity.

After her daughter received multiple rounds of antibiotics as a preemie, Dr. Cutcliffe began to see the links between early antibiotic exposure and later chronic illnesses like diabetes, obesity, allergies, asthma, ADHD, and celiac disease - all centered around a decimation of the microbiome early in life. This launched her into microbiome science and the founding of Pendulum Therapeutics.

Now, armed with DNA sequencing technology, Dr. Cutcliffe and her team are uncovering the key players in the gut microbiome, like the "next frontier" strain Akkermansia Muciniphila. They're developing targeted probiotics with the power of pharmaceuticals and the safety of traditional probiotics.

Tune in to discover the interconnections of the gut-brain axis, the gut-metabolism axis, and why diversity in your microbiome is essential for healthy aging.
