Are weight loss drugs like Ozempic really the only option to reach your dream body?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Edward Walker from Calocurb as he breaks down this revolutionary, natural, science-backed alternative that supports GLP-1 production minus the pharmaceutical side-effects. Together, we unpack how amarasate, a New Zealand hops extract, regulates appetite, curbs cravings, & promotes sustainable weight management.

Learn the science behind its effects, dosing strategies, and how it can fit into your bioharmonized approach to health in this episode on “The Better GLP-1 Alternative.”

Meet our guest

Dr. Edward Walker is a scientist & lecturer specializing in plant-based nutraceuticals for health & wellness.

As a guest lecturer at the University of Auckland, he teaches about nutraceuticals & functional foods.

His 13-year research on plant-based appetite suppressants led to the development of Amarasate®, a NZ hops-based suppressant with a mode of action similar to GLP-1 anti-obesity drugs. Passionate about evidence-based nutraceuticals, he believes they can enhance health & help prevent chronic disease.

Key takeaways

Amarasate is a plant extract that naturally stimulates GLP-1 without pharmaceutical risks
Semaglutide’s half-life is significantly longer than natural GLP-1, lasting up to a week instead of 2 minutes
The best approach is to start with a low dose & gradually increase it
The optimal dose of amarasate varies for individuals due to differences in gut response
Synthetic GLP-1 drugs can cause the body to downregulate its natural GLP-1 production
