Polyphenols, Novel Probiotic Strains & Metabolic Health: Latest in Microbiome Science

How much do we really know about the microbiome? What does it take
to identify new probiotic strains and their associated health
benefits? When should we leverage precise single strains and when
is it more effective to use synergistic blends? I am grateful to
talk again with the brilliant scientist and incredibly courageous
entrepreneur, Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe. Colleen has over 20 years
experience managing and leading teams in biotech, pharma, and
academia — I just love picking her brilliant brain! She completed
her postdoc research at Northwestern’s Children’s Memorial Hospital
and earned her PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from Johns
Hopkins. In this episode of New Frontiers, we explore novel
probiotic strains such as Clostridium buytricum, Clostridium
beijerinckii & Anaerobutyricum hallii, discuss their synergy in
producing short-chain fatty acids and potential to stimulate
satiety-inducing GLP-1, and so much more! I commend Colleen and the
team at Pendulum for their dedication to bringing new &
challenging science and next-generation probiotics to the world. I
sure learned a lot, and am sure you will, too. Let me know with a
comment, review, and rating wherever you listen to New Frontiers!
