Sarah Kennedy, CEO of Calocurb, joins me to explore the science of appetite regulation, hormone health, and why bitter plant compounds may be the key to modern weight challenges.

We unpack the fascinating 15-year research journey that began with a $30M government grant in New Zealand and led to the discovery of a specific hop variety that increases satiety hormones by 600%. Sarah contrasts Calocurb with drugs like Ozempic, sharing why a natural, hormone-supportive approach could be the future of weight management.

From PMS cravings to perimenopause, from post-Ozempic rebound hunger to late-night snacking, Sarah explains how Calocurb works with your body rather than against it.
