125. Skip the Shot: How Bitter Foods Trigger Natural GLP-1 Release


Listen Later

Are you doing "everything right"—eating clean, working out, and still battling fatigue, weight loss resistance, and relentless cravings? You're not alone. As women in perimenopause and menopause, shifting hormone balance can slow metabolism, alter hunger cues, and make it nearly impossible to lose weight the way we used to.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Kennedy, CEO of Calocurb, to talk about a groundbreaking natural alternative to popular GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

We unpack how your body's own gut-brain connection can be reactivated using a 100% natural compound derived from hops, how GLP-1 hormones regulate hunger and satiety, and why this may be one of the most exciting breakthroughs for sustainable weight management—especially for women struggling with perimenopausal weight gain, fatigue, and digestive issues.

What You'll Learn

• The truth about GLP-1 hormones — what they do in your body, and how they naturally control appetite and fullness. • Why synthetic injectables like Ozempic can cause side effects — and how they differ from your body's own GLP-1 response. • The surprising power of bitter compounds — how natural plant extracts like Amarasate activate GLP-1, reduce cravings, and support a healthy gut-brain axis. • Why this approach is ideal for perimenopausal and menopausal women — discover how hormonal shifts, stress, and low energy change hunger and metabolism, and how to rebalance them naturally. • A simple timing strategy — when to take Calocurb to reduce nighttime cravings, support fasting, and eat less without feeling deprived.

If you've been frustrated by weight loss resistance, low energy, or the feeling that your metabolism has "stopped working," this episode will show you why it's not your fault—and how to work with your body instead of against it.

We'll walk through the science, the clinical research, and real-world strategies to help you reclaim your energy, rebalance your hormones, and restore your confidence without relying on synthetic solutions.
