Episode description

In an era of popular weight loss drugs, including GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic (semaglutide), Victoza (liraglutide), Wegovy, and Saxenda, many people are looking for safer, natural alternatives.

Calocurb (use code BEN10 to save 10%) is a patented natural plant-based supplement clinically proven to reduce hunger by 30%, cravings by 40%, and calorie intake by an average of 18% — in just an hour. It does this by stimulating the body's own "feel full" hunger hormones cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY).

In this episode, Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist and lecturer who helped develop Calocurb, will introduce you to the concept of the "bitter break" and the powerful plant extract, Amarasate, which has shown remarkable results in stimulating anti-appetite hormones when delivered to the small intestine. You'll also get to explore the science behind how this extract works, its impact on glucose and insulin levels, and much more!

Over the last 13 years, Dr. Walker's primary research focus has been the investigation of plant-based appetite suppressants that may reduce hunger and support healthy food choices. This work led to the development of Amarasate, a novel New Zealand hops-based appetite suppressant that shares an overlapping mode of action with a new class of effective GLP-1-based anti-obesity drugs.

He is passionate about plant-based nutraceuticals and believes that with the appropriate scientific research, they have the potential to improve health and wellness, and even prevent or delay the development of chronic disease.

Whether you're interested in nutrition, weight management, or cutting-edge health science, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Tune in and discover how you can take control of your cravings and support your journey to better health!

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Choose unpalatable berries for superior health benefits

There is an observed correlation where the more unpalatable a berry is, such as a black currant, the better it is for you.

#nutrition

Utilize Calocurb's hop extract for effective supplementation

The supplement Calocurb contains a potent and stable hop extract called Amarsate, which is delivered in a special capsule to the small intestine.

#supplement

Utilize Amarsate to curb fasting cravings

A study showed the hop-extract Amarsate is highly effective at reducing hunger and food cravings during the last eight hours of a 24-hour fast.

#supplement

Understand beer's bitterness and its impact on appetite

The bitter compounds in beer trigger different receptors than raw hops, and these beer-related receptors are not present in the gut to suppress appetite.

#alcohol

#appetite

Choose whole food antioxidants over synthetic vitamins post-exercise

Natural antioxidants from whole foods like berries are less likely to blunt exercise adaptations compared to mega-doses of synthetic vitamins like C or E.

#exercise

Choose Amarsate for natural satiety hormone stimulation

Amarsate stimulates a short, natural surge of three satiety hormones (GLP1, CCK, PYY), unlike Ozempic which causes a constant, unnatural elevation of only GLP1.

#GLP1

#satiety

Increase bitterness in foods to trigger appetite suppression

Common bitter foods like grapefruit are not potent enough to trigger a significant appetite-suppressing hormone release; a nearly unpalatable level of bitterness is required.

#appetite

#nutrition

Utilize bitterness location to manage appetite effectively

Bitterness in the stomach can increase appetite, while potent bitterness delivered past the stomach to the small intestine suppresses it by releasing satiety hormones.
