Pendulum's Colleen Cutcliffe unpacks the launch of Gut Fuel, a prebiotic fiber and polyphenol blend designed to support gut and metabolic health. "This isn’t your grandma’s Metamucil," she said, explaining how the product targets the fiber gap, feeds beneficial microbes and offers a low-FODMAP option. The conversation also dives into the rise of GLP-1, the microbiome’s role in metabolic function and the surge of questionable GLP-1 claims. Cutcliffe underscores the importance of science-backed innovation and credible education to help consumers cut through the noise.
