Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
So, hi Hori, This is Demiris Maria Grossman and I'm
just going to kind of come on aquick call for my part two of
natural appetite suppressants tohelp you lose weight as opposed
to medical weight loss ofmedications.
And my first one is an herbcalled fenugreek and it's in the
bean kind of family.

(00:23):
It's kind of grounded up, it'sa plant, it has a little fiber
And it's really good about bloodregulation and cholesterol
reduction and appetite control.
So these are herbs andsupplements or things in nature
and natural that I recommend asopposed to just taking some of
the medical weight lossmedication.
It has been shown through manystudies as being very effective

(00:47):
in capsule form or eating andhelps with side effects that are
usually great for fiber andfullness.
Another one that's calledglucomen.
It's another fiber intake kindof thing.
Think about, like the more youkind of close off that belly
from extra eating, the betteroff you are to the feel.

(01:09):
So here it helps withcontrolling your appetite Again,
a lot of that comes into losingweight, you know, drinking and
modifying your diet and helpswith decreasing the food intake.
This is really good with waterand it comes into kind of like a
viscous, very similar to likechia seeds and when you put them
in water they become a viscouskind of jelly like And again it

(01:31):
helps with help the laying, thestomach emptying, just like
medications would put.
In this way you're using foodintake And it's helpful.
You know it's an option thatpeople can use.
It's not very common but italso is helping with cholesterol
reduction.
It's called glucomen and it'shelped the tolerated mostly
pretty well for individuals, butrecommended that they take food

(01:52):
intake or about one gram a day.
Next one is an herb called forantidiabetic purposes.
I've talked about berberine andthen this one is called gemini
And it's for reducing the sugarin the mouth and the sugar
cravings and helps with theoverall fasting found.
Compared to those that didn'thave that supplement, these

(02:16):
individuals found that they wereable to lose a little bit of
body weight and fat absorptionCapsules are about 100
milligrams give or take, andsometimes there's teas that are
available.
Another one that people mayhave heard of it's called 5-HTP
or jifani and sibling phallusfolio.
I might not agree with thepronunciation but basically this

(02:37):
is a natural one.
It's good serotonin, so it'sgood for depression, anxiety and
relaxation, but it also helpswith decreasing the carb intake
and hunger within the body.
So again, this is still kind ofin that same time, like your
gut, when your gut is happy,you're not eating as much,

(02:59):
you're not craving and you'renot looking and you're not just
forging for things.
But this one you kind of haveto watch out a little bit, for
You want to make sure thatyou're eating or drinking water,
but someone can have a tinynausea upsets and it's not
something that I want you to addin with an age person without
following the health careprovider, because you just want
to make sure that you're notover thinking and having a

(03:19):
serotonin uptake which can bequite dangerous.
So I want you to really want tomake sure you're unconscious
with this.
Other herb is called kalumafimbriota.
It is think of it as print.
Fimbriota has a lot of fiber.
You can take it for 500milligrams.
Helps with weight loss,appetite and also with fiber as

(03:42):
in the body.
I haven't really given that one, but I've heard about it.
Green tea extract that's apretty big one that most people
have heard about and it's shownto help with weight loss And
then again that's it's a similareffect that you would hear that
you'd see in people that talkabout Fetermine Fetermine into
the clinical contraves andmedications of that nature And

(04:05):
it's helpful.
It kind of that caffeine highstimulant effect work.
It's not something you wannahave all the time but it will
help decrease the appetitebecause you are kind of
consuming a little bit morecaffeine and that's not
recommended for those that don'tneed excess caffeine.
But it does help withdetoxifying and helping with the

(04:25):
metabolism and burning fat.
Conjugated or aphelopaic lennicacid, this one helps in a few
things but it's very good forthe natural fatty products
helping with cholesterol weightloss overall, that burning
research is shown that helpswith like with that fullness,
that appetite suppression Andit's really good for cholesterol

(04:49):
management.
Recommended to us around sixgrams total per day And it can
be like good for a lot of thatfat blocking.
And another big one people haveheard of and they think that
that's like the go-to iscarcinia cambigio or carcinin
cambibogia.

(05:09):
I say it incorrectly butbasically this is a fruit with a
high concentration of hydrohydroxy citric acid.
Helps with weight loss purposes.
Again, it's like that fatblocking breaks up, decreases
the weight, helps with theserotonin levels uptake again
when the gut is happy, you havemore fiber, you kind of get it

(05:33):
through.
You're then more full and thenyou're eating less.
So it kind of goes in the brainand the gut.
You know you have to alwaysunderstand that it's put
together so you don't have asmuch upset And you wanna eat
this around 30 minutes beforemeals never take.
There's a really cool one calledherbimotics.
I like this, one for energy,another one for boosting your

(05:59):
metabolism and it will be greatin the like decreasing appetite
food.
It has a GLP component in thesense of again helping with the
appetite suppression, making youfeel full.
It helps regulate the left inhormone, which is that hunger
hormone And you know, not theghrelin, but the left in whore.
It makes you feel full.
Ghrelin is where you're feelinghungry and you wanna eat more.

(06:22):
It's a lot of the regulation.
Everything kind of comes downto the hormones and regulating
your appetite.
And last one is actually coffee.
You know when people talk abouttheir intermittent fasting and I
talk about fasting.
I try to do at least 10 hoursof fasting for obese fichines,
because your buddy does not needfood all the time, every single

(06:43):
minute.
If you could do at least 10hours a day, that would be great
.
16 hours is not alwaysrecommended for everyone.
I'll talk about intermittentfasting in another time, but 16
hours maybe once a week, a one24 hour a month, and you know
something of that nature.
But every day if you can do 10hours of fasting, maybe that
nighttime eating, really kind ofavoiding it, or waking up early

(07:06):
and eating, that is where thoseextra calories and those
hormones just lie.
So that's using my big ones.
Talking people will take morelike the green tea ask things,
because that is very helpful inappetite suppression.
You have any other questionsfor me?
I know that's one of the quickpodcasts, but I kind of wanted
to do a part two in the seriesof appetite suppressions and

(07:30):
things that we can do forourselves without just taking
medicine.
You know I'm an integrative, soI'm a very big believer on
approaches in integrative healthand how we can have a whole way
of thinking.
So thanks again.
If you have any questions,reach out anytime and I'm here
to help you be mindful ways eachand every day.
Thanks again.
