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 breaka 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, curb cravings, & promote 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. He earned his PhD from the University of Auckland, researching the antioxidant effects of berry fruits, & now works at The New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research, focusing on clinical validation of nutraceutical products.

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
