In this episode of Lupin Q, host David Fienberg sits down with Associate Professor Claus Christophersen from Edith Cowan University—a molecular microbiologist specialising in gut health and the microbiome. They explore “runner’s gut”, the science behind GLP-1 and anti-obesity medications, and what happens when people try to come off these drugs. Claus shares insights from his groundbreaking Ur Gut product, designed for people with IBS, and explains how fermentable fibre can mimic some of the same satiety effects as weight loss injectables. From pushing fermentation to the distal colon to understanding transit time and gut health, this conversation unpacks practical strategies for long-term metabolic health—and where lupins fit into the picture. It’s science-backed, accessible, and full of real-world advice.
