    Beyond Ozempic: The Probiotic That Finally Stops Chocolate (& Food) Binges. Join Our Science Trial.

    Friends, I recently sat down with Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, CEO of Pendulum Therapeutics, for a discussion about probiotics, metabolism, and a potential natural alternative to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. Here's why I'm excited to share this with you... The Backstory A month ago, I ran into a friend who had slimmed down and was looking fit. These days, I’ve had a good dozen or so friends lose weight with GLP-1 drugs, so I was surprised when she told me it wasn’t Ozempic but Pendulum's new GLP-1 probiotic. Her chocolate cravings (her usual downfall) had changed entirely. Instead of demolishing a whole bar, she could have one bite and walk away satisfied. I've known Pendulum for years (we invested at True), and I've personally used their glucose control product with great success. However, I had lost touch with Colleen and didn’t realize they had a new GLP-1 product — so I asked her to come on the podcast and discuss it. Note: Peter Attia did a much longer and more thorough deep-dive with Colleen, found here What Makes This Different? In my interview with Colleen, she explained how their probiotic actually helps your body produce its own GLP-1 hormone naturally. The science is fascinating – they've identified specific strains of bacteria that, when delivered to your gut's distal colon, help stimulate natural GLP-1 production. No shots, no prescription. The results are pretty impressive; 91% of users reported reduced food cravings after six weeks*, and the higher the initial cravings, the more significant the improvement. Why This Matters Over the last year+, I've watched friends scramble to find GLP-1 prescriptions, hitting up sketchy compounding pharmacies, or paying astronomical prices when their insurance won't cover them. It's wild out there.But obesity isn't just about weight – it's tied to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and even cognitive decline (some scientists are calling Alzheimer's "Type 3 diabetes"). We need better solutions that are both accessible and backed by science. Join Our Mini-Trial Sadly, the trial is now closed — thanks to all who participated! What's Next? We'll be collecting data throughout the trial and sharing the results with participants. Stay tuned for updates on how the community is progressing. Exciting stuff ahead! As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences if you decide to participate. Until next time, be well, *based on a consumer survey of 274 people This is a public episode.

    Ketamine - My On-Camera Experience with a Treatment That Could Reshape Mental Health Worldwide

    Buckle up; in this episode, we explore the emerging field of ketamine therapy for mental health treatment with Dr. Jennifer Ellice, a board-certified emergency physician based in Los Angeles. Dr. Ellice, who studied at Princeton University and the University of Rochester School of Medicine before completing her residency at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, brings extensive experience in emergency medicine since 2008 to her current specialization in ketamine therapy as the Co-Founder of Golden Afternoon. The conversation delves into ketamine's potential for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain while addressing common misconceptions and safety concerns. Dr. Ellice discusses the medical applications of ketamine beyond its traditional use as an anesthetic, drawing on her diverse medical background. Viewers will gain access to the clinical process, from patient screening to administration methods, and witness an unprecedented insider's view as Kevin allows cameras to document his experience during a live ketamine booster therapy session. This rare, unfiltered look into an actual treatment aims to demystify the process, reduce stigma, and potentially help those suffering from mental health issues see ketamine therapy as a viable option. Kevin's willingness to share this deeply personal experience underscores the importance of open dialogue about mental health treatments and advancing public understanding of innovative therapies. This episode aims to provide a balanced, scientific perspective on a promising but complex treatment option in modern psychiatry, guided by Dr. Ellice’s unique blend of emergency medicine expertise and cutting-edge mental health treatment knowledge.
