In this episode, Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, CEO and Co-Founder of Pendulum, joins Krista to spill the latest on GLP-1, natural metabolic boosters, and why your gut might be begging for a serious upgrade. If sugar cravings or post-meal crashes have you in a chokehold, this episode is for you!

Ahead, learn the science behind Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs, why these powerful hunger hormones matter more than you realize, and the real risks behind appetite suppressants.

Colleen also reveals groundbreaking probiotic solutions that can support your body’s metabolism naturally. 

Plus, Krista shares her journey using Pendulum’s GLP-1 probiotic, what continuous glucose monitoring taught her, and hacks for getting your metabolism in check. Get ready for tangible advice, jaw-dropping studies, and hope for anyone struggling with sugar or emotional eating. 

We also talk about:

  • The gut-brain connection + why fixing your microbiome boosts mental clarity  
  • How foods like fiber, polyphenols, and dark chocolate play into cravings  
  • Real differences between “moderators” and “abstainers” 
  • What’s actually happening to your body on Ozempic + similar drugs
