Your Microbiome, GLP-1 & Next-Generation Probiotics | Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe
What if your metabolism, cravings, immune system — even your hormones — are being shaped by your gut? In this episode of The Gabby Reece Show, Gabby sits down with microbiome scientist and Pendulum co-founder Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe to break down the real science behind gut health — beyond the buzzwords. From premature birth and early antibiotic exposure to GLP-1, estrogen, cravings, and perimenopause, this conversation connects the dots between your microbiome and nearly every major system in your body. If you’ve ever thought: “Why am I gaining weight when nothing changed?” “Why am I suddenly sensitive to foods?” “Is this just aging… or something else?” “Are GLP-1 drugs the only option?” This episode will shift how you think about your body. In This Episode, We Cover: Why the microbiome is connected to all 11 organ systems How early antibiotic use may affect long-term metabolic health The truth about GLP-1 — and how your body produces it naturally Why Akkermansia is considered a “keystone strain” Gut health and perimenopause: what’s really happening Estrogen, menopause, and emerging microbiome research Why cravings may not be about willpower How stress, aging, and travel deplete your gut Fecal microbiome transplants — what they are and why they matter How to rebuild a resilient gut (without extremes or shame) Key Takeaway The goal isn’t perfection. It’s resilience. A strong, diverse microbiome helps your body handle stress, hormonal shifts, aging, and even dietary slip-ups. And unlike your genetics — your gut can change. Start with food. Use tools wisely. Pay attention to your body.
