The Science-Backed Bitter Compound That Mimics GLP-1 (No Injections Needed!)

I’ve been watching the science behind Calocurb evolve over the last
year, and I have to say—this is one of the most exciting clinical
tools I’ve seen emerge in the metabolic space in quite some time. A
hops-derived compound that stimulates endogenous GLP-1, CCK, and
PYY—without a prescription or injection? That’s a big deal,
especially for patients struggling with appetite regulation, weight
plateaus, or the aftermath of GLP-1 discontinuation. In this
episode, I sit down with Sarah Kennedy, founder of New
Zealand-based Calocurb, to talk about the years of
government-funded research that led to this discovery, the
remarkable clinical outcomes they’ve seen so far, and how I’ve
personally used it in my practice with excellent results. If you’re
looking for science-backed, natural strategies to support appetite
control, fasting, or GLP-1 transitions—this one’s worth a listen.
