THE GOLD FROM THIS EPISODE

“Calocurb is used primarily in three ways. #1: As a natural alternative to Ozempic or Wagovy for people that don’t want to do GLP-1 agonist injections. #2: Taken with microdoses of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to get an exogenous effect from the synthetic hormone with stimulation of your natural GLP-1 hormone. #3: As an effective way to titrate people off injectables to avoid the rebound weight gain that over two thirds of people experience.”

“Calocurb is in a delayed release capsule so it deposits in the upper intestine where it disperses. Each capsule contains three ingredients: Amarasate (hops extract from New Zealand), a vegetable oil (from the United States) to help it activate in the upper duodenum, and rosemary (from Spain) as a natural preservative. The product is gluten-free and vegan.”

Sarah Kennedy

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“The hops extract in Calocurb is called Amarasate: Amara means bitter and sate means satiation. You never taste the bitterness unless you chew the capsule. The bitterness stimulates the taste receptors in your intestinal tract to suppress appetite and cravings. Calocurb is targeted at the gastrointestinal tract. 99% of it is digested in the lower colon and less than 1% in the bloodstream. So it doesn't interfere with the liver, kidneys, and other medications.”

Sarah Kennedy

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“There are many ways to use Calocurb. You can take 1 to 2 capsules (half-dose or full dose) one hour before lunch and dinner to support portion control and prevent cravings after dinner. You can also take a capsule in the morning to prevent cravings mid morning. Women take it to curb cravings during their menstrual cycle. Other people take it one hour before exercising to prevent feeling ravenously hungry post workout.”

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“The way you use Calocurb is totally flexible. You can take it every day to control portions and appetite when you want to lose weight or maintain your weight. Or, you can simply use it as a standby product for traveling or in instances when you want to control food cravings.”

Sarah Kennedy

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“About 75% of people rebound and often gain more weight after titrating off GLP-1 agonist injections. One of the reasons is that when you're on a synthetic hormone, you suppress production of your natural hormones. So, when you come off the injectables, your natural gut-brain axis is zero and your natural “stop” button isn’t there. People are having tremendous success using Calocurb to titrate off these injectables. maintenance dose. Calocurb physically kickstarts your gut-brain access to get your natural GLP-1 hormone working again. And, having a maintenance back-up product also gives people a physiological kickstart to support the feelings of hopelessness when trying to lose weight. We just did a patient trial in the U.S and all of the patients have maintained their weight loss.” 

Sarah Kennedy

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“Calocurb is just a tool for your toolkit, there to assist you to make healthier choices in the modern world. Our physiology has evolved over thousands of years. What was an asset for us in primeval times is now a liability. It's not about being skinny, it’s about being healthy.”

Sarah Kennedy

Founder and CEO of Calocurb

“Up until now, there has been no way to take people off GLP-1 injectables that is effective and affordable. Calocurb gives you a maintenance product that is like a safety net to adapt your lifestyle and make healthier choices.”

  • Looking for a natural way to combat cravings and lose weight—without GLP-1 injections? Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, shares how she and a group of scientists brought their revolutionary product to market, and how it’s taking the world by storm.

  • Sarah recognized Calocurb as a strategic tool to support healthier choices and built the company around that principle. A life-long struggle with weight and love-hate relationship with food made this a passion project. When the product delivered for her where nothing else had, making sure others had access to it became her mission.

  • She takes inside the science that makes Calocurb uniquely effective. Inspired by ancient practices—from Scots chewing bitter berries during famines and Kalahari tribesmen chewing bitter roots before hunts—scientists theorized that bitter compounds might suppress appetite today. And they were right. A variety of hops grown in New Zealand triggers the greatest response.

  • After years of testing and clinical trials with both men and women, Calocurb has been proven to reduce hunger, food cravings and calorie intake to help people lose weight without the adverse side effects of Ozempic or other GLP-1 injectables.

  • Sarah lays out why this product differs from synthetic injectables, and how practitioners are using it in conjunction with injectables, as a natural way to titrate off them, and as an alternative to them. People are also using Calocurb selectively in a variety of ways.

  • Acknowledging that appetite and weight loss have nothing to do with willpower, and that women are more responsive to GLP-1 than men, Sarah shares how women are using Calocurb during their monthly cycles with great success.

  • This isn’t another dodgy supplement. Tune in to get this game-changing information.
