2/11/25, 2:41 PM #INTERVIEW: In Conversation with Dr. Ross Walker & Dr. Julie Z. Chen About Revolutionizing Gut Health
"diabesity." About 30-40% of people are
genetically predisposed to it, particularly those
with darker or olive skin. This predisposition,
combined with the modern Western diet, creates
a perfect storm leading to obesity, diabetes, and
heart disease.
But there’s hope! One of the most exciting
discoveries in gut health is a bacterium
called Akkermansia muciniphila. This bacterium is
linked to enhanced metabolic health and weight
management. Those with lower levels of
Akkermansia are more likely to experience
obesity and insulin resistance. We’ve specifically
formulated our products to support the growth of
Akkermansia, helping to improve metabolic
health and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
How do you intake the product?
Dr. Ross Walker: In its tribotic form, you take one
capsule a day to help rebuild your Akkermansia
levels. The only side effect is weight loss, and you
get healthier overall. It’s suitable for anyone,
though for children, the product is available as a
powder that can be mixed with water, milk, or
yogurt. Alternatively, they can directly take the
fast-dissolving powder by mouth. It also helps
reduce the number of sick days.
Is it like Ozempic or Mounjaro, which are
commonly used today for weight loss?
Dr. Ross Walker: No, we don’t prescribe Ozempic.
While Ozempic, Mounjaro, and similar drugs can
be effective, there are long-term side effects to
consider. A recent study revealed that drugs like
Ozempic can increase the risk of thyroid cancer
(though small), pancreatitis, and severe eye
diseases that lead to vision loss. There’s also the
issue of Ozempic face, where users lose fat from
their skin, making them look older. Additionally,
these drugs often lead to weight loss, but once
you stop, there’s a rebound effect.
The difference with our product is that it works
by promoting natural gut health. It’s not a quick
fix like Ozempic. We believe in supporting the
body’s long-term, sustainable health rather than
relying on short-term solutions.
So to wrap it up, what would be your top tips
for maintaining a healthy gut and overall
wellness?
Dr. Ross Walker: I follow these five rules, which
I’d love for you to embrace too.
