Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, the host talks about biohacking as the art and science of changing your environment and biology to have control over your own body. They go on to discuss the specific bacteria species called acromancia, which can be added to the gut to turn on biological powers that weren’t there before. The interviewee, Colleen Cutcliffe, the CEO and co-founder of Pendulum, talks about the importance of acromancia in gut health as it plays a fundamental role in your gut lining and your gut health, which affects metabolism, inflammatory and immune response. Only 10 years ago, acromancia hadn’t been discovered before because it is not found in the part of the colon that has oxygen, and all other strains were found through culturing until DNA sequencing technologies became affordable and usable enough to see things that were in the oxygen-free part of the gut.

Summary of Description:
In this episode of The Human Upgrade podcast sponsored by Pendulum, molecular biologist and biochemist Colleen Cutcliffe discusses the benefits of Akkermansia in the gut microbiome. She explains how this novel probiotic strain helps regulate the mucus lining in the gut and is connected to weight loss, improved metabolism, reduced inflammation, and a healthier immune system. The episode also includes information on how to boost Akkermansia in the gut and a special offer for Pendulum’s membership.

Boosting Akkermansia in Your Gut for Weight Loss and Immune Health
In this episode of The Human Upgrade™, molecular biologist, biochemist, and Pendulum founder Colleen Cutcliffe, Ph.D., returns to the show to talk about the latest research regarding the gut microbiome and Akkermansia muciniphila. This probiotic strain has been linked to weight loss, immune health, and metabolic function. In this article, we will explore the science behind Akkermansia and how you can increase its presence in your gut.
What is Akkermansia?
Akkermansia muciniphila is a unique and novel probiotic strain found naturally in the gastrointestinal tract. This strain directly interacts with the gut lining and helps regulate the mucus lining in your gut. Recently, studies have suggested that this strain may be a keystone bacterial strain in the gut microbiome.
How Akkermansia Affects Weight, Metabolism, and Immune Health
Multiple studies have shown a connection between Akkermansia and weight loss. In one study, researchers found that obese individuals had fewer Akkermansia in their gut microbiome than lean individuals. In another study, researchers found that when mice were given Akkermansia, they lost weight and showed improved metabolic function.
Akkermansia has also been linked to improved immune health. The strain has been shown to reduce inflammation in the gut and boost immune response. This could be particularly important for individuals with autoimmune disorders or chronic inflammation.
How to Boost Akkermansia in Your Gut
The good news is that there are ways to boost the presence of Akkermansia in your gut. One of the best ways to do this is through diet. Specifically, a diet high in fiber has been shown to promote the growth of this probiotic strain. Foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are all great sources of fiber.
Another way to increase Akkermansia in your gut is through probiotic supplements. Pendulum is one company that offers a probiotic supplement specifically designed to increase Akkermansia in the gut. In fact, Pendulum sponsored this episode of The Human Upgrade™.

Final Thoughts
The gut microbiome is a complex system that plays a crucial role in overall health. Akkermansia muciniphila is just one probiotic strain that has been linked to weight loss, improved metabolic function, and immune health. By increasing the presence of this probiotic in your gut through diet or supplements, you could potentially reap the benefits of improved health and wellbeing.
