Join us for the debut of DUTCH In Conversation with Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Pendulum. In this conversation, we’ll dive into the latest breakthroughs in microbiome science and explore how Pendulum is developing targeted probiotics to support metabolic health, hormone balance, and overall wellness.

Watch the replay to learn more about:

• The evolving science behind keystone strains like Akkermansia muciniphila, its role in gut barrier integrity, metabolic function, and even longevity
• The critical connections between the gut microbiome and women’s hormonal health, including estrogen metabolism and menopause-related shifts
• How DUTCH Test insights can complement microbiome therapies to create a holistic approach to health optimization
• A sneak peek at what’s next in microbiome science, from engineered probiotics to new clinical research
