In this episode of the live e-commerce podcast, host Nicolas Bailliache interviews Mark Washington, founder of SuperGut, a company that creates gut-healthy superfoods focused on appetite and cravings control.

Mark shares his journey from health/wellness executive to entrepreneur, sparked by the tragic familial event due to complications from obesity and diabetes. This personal tragedy made Mark reflect on his purpose and inspired him to start SuperGut five years ago.

He describes SuperGut's products as functional foods that improve gut health and impact metabolic health issues like healthy weight management and blood sugar control. The products tap into the body's hunger-resisting hormone GLP-1, similar to popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic.

Mark discusses SuperGut's marketing and distribution strategies as a digitally native brand, including social media, advertising, earned media, influencers, and their own educational "edutainment" video content. After years of only selling direct-to-consumer online, SuperGut recently expanded into Amazon and several retail chains.

Mark also shares the current challenges of managing rapid growth and keeping up with demand. He talks about the importance of really knowing your differentiator and purpose as a brand, and shares his vision for SuperGuts to become known as "the GLP-1 superfood brand" in the next few years as natural appetite and weight control rise in popularity.
