What does a 2-time whitewater slalom world champion have to do with solving obesity, GERD, and type 2 diabetes?


Everything.

In this week's episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Fritz Haller—world champion athlete, Olympic coach, and CEO of Endolastic—to discuss a groundbreaking endoscopic technology that may transform the future of metabolic and gastrointestinal disease treatment.

⭐ What You'll Learn in This Episode

🔬 How a simple "rubber band gun" mechanism may outperform billion-dollar weight-loss drugs
🧬 The gut-brain pathway that controls metabolism—and how to reset it
🏅 Fritz Haller's journey from Olympic competition to medical innovation
⚕️ The science behind endoluminal tissue regeneration
📉 Why this approach may reshape treatment for GERD, obesity, fatty liver, and diabetes

🔥 Why this matters:

➡️100% of patients in early trials were able to stop acid reflux medications (PPIs)
➡️Reversal of type 2 diabetes, often within 2 weeks
➡️77% less invasive than gastric bypass
➡️5–7% weight loss → 55% reduction in fatty liver disease risk
➡️No permanent alterations to anatomy—your body heals naturally
➡️Potential widespread availability as early as 2026–2027

While GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy see 70% dropout rates, and traditional bariatric surgery often leads to weight regain, this regenerative approach aims to restore gut-brain communication, not bypass it.

This is not another fad or miracle claim—it's peer-reviewed research with hundreds of patients already showing life-changing results and FDA trials underway.
Fritz Haller's story proves that breakthroughs often come from unexpected places—and bold thinkers who refuse to settle.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
