25: How My Client Lost 15 lbs with Calocurb: The Natural GLP-1 Alternative with Sarah Kennedy

Have you worked to change your nutrition and exercise habits, but the scale is stuck? Are you curious about GLP-1 medications but have hesitations? Are you overwhelmed by the supplements and peptides marketed to help you naturally boost GLP-1, burn fat, and lose weight? Then this episode is for you. Here’s the thing: A lot of supplements on the market today claim to naturally boost GLP-1, but most of them don’t have any science behind them. That’s not the case with Calocurb.  In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, to talk about one of the most fascinating weight loss tools I've come across in years. Sarah shares the incredible story behind Calocurb—a natural supplement developed from a New Zealand hop extract that helps stimulate your body's own appetite-suppressing hormones, including GLP-1, CCK, and PYY. We dive into the science of hunger, cravings, appetite regulation, and food noise. Most importantly, we talk about how Calocurb differs from GLP-1 medications, who it may be a good fit for, and why it may be particularly helpful for women who want another option in their weight loss toolbox. We’re covering: How my client lost 15 lbs last year taking Calocurb How scientists discovered a plant extract that boosts GLP-1 naturally - enough to make a difference in hunger, cravings, and caloric intake What Calocurb is and how it works Ways you can use Calocurb alongside a GLP-1 medication, instead of a GLP-1, or after you’ve come off of a GLP-1 How Calocurb can help reduce cravings, portions, hunger, and late-night snacking How Calocurb differs from GLP-1 medications How Calocurb may help women during PMS and the luteal phase Why Calocurb may be especially helpful when coming off a GLP-1 medication How to use Calocurb for sustainable weight loss without feeling deprived One of My Favorite Takeaways: Sarah explains that weight loss isn't simply about "eating less and moving more." Our bodies are wired to protect us from perceived famine, which is why hunger increases when we chronically restrict calories. Instead of fighting biology, tools like Calocurb may help support the body's natural appetite-regulation systems and make healthy habits easier to maintain.
