Cravings Aren’t Weakness: The Microbiome, GLP-1, and Metabolic Health


Listen Later

Microbiome scientist Colleen Cutcliffe joins Jeff to discuss how gut bacteria influence metabolic health, mental health, and food cravings. They explore Akkermansia, a keystone strain that maintains gut lining integrity and stimulates natural GLP-1 production, affecting energy, blood sugar, and mood. Colleen explains what depletes beneficial bacteria and offers practical guidance on rebuilding gut health through diet, fiber, polyphenols, and targeted probiotics.
