Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,
The Doctor Bob Martin Show. Doctor Martin is a chiropractic physician,
a Board certified clinical nutritionist, and diplomat of the American
Academy of Anti Aging Medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The information presented on this show is educational in nature.
Please consult your personal healthcare provider regarding health issues. You
may have got a health related problem or challenge, not
feeling well, and you just don't know where to turner
what to do. Doctor Bob Martin is here for you
and will do his very best to answer your health question.
The tone free number to ask Doctor Martin a health
(00:44):
question or to make a health related comment is eight
hundred six oh six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred
six oh six eighty eight twenty two. That's eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good day to you. Doctor Adam Brockman here coming to
you as co host on The Doctor Bob Martin Show,
America's trusted source for your health. Whether you're scrolling through
your phone right now or staring at your computer screen
wondering why your genes feel just a little tighter these days.
We're thrilled you are joining us today. Now, let's talk
(01:23):
about something we all think about but rarely address properly,
and that's our weight, that number on the scale, the
way your clothes fit, the energy you have or don't have.
And by midday, it's all connected. And if you've been
following the headlines, you're familiar with the latest quote miracle
(01:48):
weight loss drugs like Ozimpic, Wagovi, and Manjaro. These GLP
one medications are everywhere from Hollywood to your neighbor's medicine cabinet.
But here's the question no one's asking, what if there's
a better way, a safer, more natural alternative that doesn't
(02:09):
come with that laundry list, a side effects, or the
sky high price tag. Today we're going to talk about
the real story behind GLP one medications. These drugs work
by mimicking a hormone called GLP one, which tells your
brain you're full. It sounds great, right, but here's the catch.
(02:33):
They're not magic. Many users report side effects like nausea, vomiting,
and even muscle loss. And let's talk about the cost.
Some of these drugs run over one thousand dollars a
month without insurance, and worse yet, studies show that once
you stop taking them, the weight often comes roaring back.
(02:56):
That's not a solution, that's a band aid. But here's
what's concerning. These drugs are being prescribed like candy, often
without addressing the root cause of weight gain. Are you
still eating processed foods? Are you stressed out of your mind?
Or are you not getting enough sleep? These medications don't
(03:18):
fix any of that. They're just silencing the symptoms while
your body continues to struggle. Now, I'm not here to
bash these prescriptions. For some people that golp one drugs,
they've been a lifeline. But what if I told you
there's a natural way to achieve weight management results and
without the side effects, and without the dependency, and without
(03:41):
the outrageous cost. That's where caliicurb comes in. Caliicurbs apelled
clo Curb is the result of fifteen years of research
in thirty million in New Zealand government backed science. Its
secret weapon is a patented, hops derived ingredient called a marisek.
(04:03):
Like GLP one drugs, it curbs It helps curb your
cravings and promotes fullness. But here's the difference. It's plant based,
and it's gentle on your stomach, and it's designed to
work with your body, not against it. No nausea, no
muscle loss. It's just a natural way to reset your
(04:24):
relationship with food. And later this hour we're going to
dive deeper into the science behind calacurb, including clinical studies
that show how it stacks up against the synthetic drugs.
But here's the bottom line. If you're tired of the
quick fixes that don't last, or if you're weary of
(04:45):
pumping your body full of these chemicals, then this could
be the breakthrough you've been waiting for. Now here's where
you come in. Our phone lines are open at eight
hundred six or A six eight eight two to two.
If you strugg with cravings, or you're tired of yo

bob dot com. All right, well, we've got a powerpacked
hour ahead, from the science of natural appetite control to
(05:53):
the foods that keep you full without the crash. So
put down the sugary snack, grab a glass of water,
and let's.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Go ahead and dive in.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Today. As we mentioned, we're going to dive into an
enlightening discussion about Calacurb. It's a revolutionary weight management product
that's changing lives globally. But behind every great innovation, there's
an even greater story. So let's go ahead and meet
the brilliant minds who made it happen. First, let's talk
(06:24):
about Calacurb again, that's spelled clocurb. This isn't just another
weight loss supplement. It's the result of fifteen years of
cutting edge research and again thirty million dollars in New
Zealand government based science. And what makes it so unique
is its star ingredient Amerise. It's a natural, hops based
(06:47):
appetite suppression that works similar to GLP one that's the
fullness hormone, and it helps people make healthier food choices
without the synthetic drugs. Already available in five domestic and
international markets, including here in America. Calicurb is it's on
a mission to redefine weight management and that's one capsule
(07:10):
at a time. Now, let's meet the CEO behind CALICRB.
It's Sarah Kennedy, with a career that's spanning over twenty
years in agribusiness, nutrition and executive leadership. Sarah is no
stranger to transformation. Trained as a VET, she's held top
roles at Fonterra, including Vice President of International Farming and
(07:31):
Managing Director of Dairy Nutrition. She has also led healthories
where she tripled revenue and merged two giants to create Vidaco,
which is the third largest health and wellness company in
Australia and Asia. She's also a MIT Sloan fellow. In
Sarah's personal journey with weight management inspired her to bring
(07:53):
CALICRB to life, proving that sometimes the best solutions come
from lived experience. And of course none of this would
be possible without the science. Enter Doctor Edward Walker a researcher,
lecture and nutraceutical pioneer with a PhD studying the antioxidant
(08:13):
effects of berry fruits. Doctor Walker has spent thirteen years
researching plant based appetite suppressants. His groundbreaking work led to
amerisit the key ingredient in caliicurb as a scientist at
the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research. In
a guest lecture at the University of Auckland, He's dedicated
(08:34):
to turning lab discoveries into real world solutions. Doctor Walker's passion.
It's harnessing the power of plants to prevent chronic disease
and promote lifelong wellness. So there you have it, Sarah
Kennedy's visionary leadership, Doctor Walker's scientific brilliance in Calikerb's natural innovation. Together,
(08:57):
they're not just creating a product, they're shaping a healthier future.
So with that, I want to say, welcome to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show, Sarah and doctor Walker. How are
you guys today?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Hi, Adam, I'm good packed.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I'm very happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Great, great, great, Well thanks for joining me today. And
we just got a little bit before our first break.
I want to go ahead and have doctor Walker, Can
you explain to me how a marsate works inside the body?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Sure, So everyone knows that there was to do with
bitter taste and taste receptors and your gut. So everyone
knows that you have taste on your tongue, and that
taste tells you whether food.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Is good to eat or not.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
So you put something sweet on your tongue, it's very nice.
If you want to have more, you put something bitter
on your tongue, you want to split that out. Well,
it turns out you have taste receptors or taste buds
all the way down your gut, and they do a
similar sort of thing, except instead of having a conscious
signal to your brain, they have a sub conscious hormone
based signal. And so you take something very sweet and
(10:04):
you put it in your stomach, your stomach will actually
send it a pro appetite signal to your brain saying, hey,
this is good, I want to eat more. If you
take something very very bitter and you put it down
past your stomach, in you in your small intestine, then
your essentially your your gut will tell your brain. It
will say, hey, I told you not to eat that
(10:25):
when it was on your tongue. I don't like it
in my in my gut, So I'm going to have
to stop you eating. And I'm going to do this
by sending a signal to your brain that tells you're full.
And this signal is GLP one c T k P
y y to a variety of different different hormones. And
that's that's essentially how Amara saying suppressed people appetite and
(10:46):
reduce how much food they eat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
All right, you're listening to Doctor Walker from Cali Curb.
Will be right back from the Doctor Doctor Bob Barton Show.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Thanks, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and you're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show, where we're all about smarter living and
thriving naturally and teaching you to become your own best
doctor most of the time. And remember, if you've got
questions about natural health, nutrition, or anything in between, our
toll free hotline is always open at eight hundred six
(11:38):
zero six eight eight two two. That's where two licensed physicians,
doctor Bob and I were standing by to help you
unlock your best self. That's eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two two. All right, let's get back into
it with doctor Walker from Cali Curb again. That's spelled
c A L O c U R B and you
can find it at caliicurb dot com. But doctor Walker,
(12:00):
we were talking about amerisate. Can you tell the listeners
how ameersate was originally discovered in what prompted the search
for natural appetite regulating compounds.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Yeah, so it all started in two thousand and nine
when the New Zealand government put out a call to
do basically looked for a plant based alternative to drugs
for weight loss and appetite management. Now, the reason why
the government did this was twofold. Firstly because we have,
similar to America, an obesity crisis with growing numbers of
(12:35):
overweight and obese people as well as a large amount
of adolescent obesity. And there was also no real good
pharmaceutical options at the time, so we'd had a few
different drugs available. So subertua mean, which is almost like
a stimulant, which had recently been withdrawn from the market
in two thousand and five due to potential cardiac issues.
(12:57):
And there was another drug that was available and Europe
Asian America, but it was available in Europe, which was
a sort of inverse cannabinoid agonist, and so it sort
of worked like anti marijuana, but it caused depressive thoughts.
So the government wanted essentially something natural and something that
would be safer, so they put out a call and
(13:18):
Plant Food Research, the government organization that I work for,
decided that it would be a good idea essentially to
target the gaser intestinal tract because there's a series of
hormones there that are very effective at regulating appetite and
they can do so with only sort of minimal side effects.
If you get some side effects, that tend to only
be gaser intestinal and they don't occur that frequently. So
(13:41):
we really put together a research program based on that
and we started looking at a few different theories. The
one which we really had off was using bitterness to
regulate appetite and targeting that to the gut.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And Sarah, I want you to come in on this
because without the scientific, pacific research and bringing it to
market that component, how can you describe the development of
calicurb as a commercially related product.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Sure, Dr Adam, I was presented this extract in two
and seventeen, and in my time within this industry, I
had never seen an extract with that amount of science
behind it which looked into This was long before ozenpic
(14:38):
which looked which could address such a big category where
we could actually own it from source to shelf. So
I was absolutely entranced by the science and I was asked, well,
what would you do with it? And a bit like
the man that brought the company, I was like, I
(14:58):
absolutely love it. So here and started the journey of
you know, I raised money, I formed a team, and
in two thousand and eight we launched CALICU. But yeah,
it was a science that absolutely I'd never seen science
like it.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And doctor Walker, you touched briefly on the science behind it.
What is this clinical research saying in about the effectiveness
of a merisate.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, So we did several scientifical research studies in
order to validate efficacy. Essentially, the first thing we did
was we really wanted to show that we had these
bitter taste systems and the gats are intestinal tracts, so
that the first stage of the research was to go
into hospital and to get people ask people to volunteer
(15:51):
bits of their intestinal tracts, so biopsies from allow along
their intestinal tract to identify where all of these bitter
tasting systems were in the gut and to figure out
how's best to target them. We had twenty eight people
take part of them. We got this very nice map
of the gastro intestinal track, so we knew exactly where
(16:11):
to target and really what to use. We then did
a series of in vitro screening essays so drug discovery
essentially all drug discovery type systems, where we looked for
what would be best at triggering these bitter taste systems
within the gastra intestinal tract. And then once we found
(16:34):
a potent activator in this case, it was a hop
extract we called a maris et we ran a series
of acute clinical trials to really show that it could
work in people. The first of these trials was showing
the mode of action, and what we were able to
show is if the maris ad extract was given an
hour before and eat till your full meal and then
(16:55):
a subsequent snack that people would voluntarily eat eighteen percent
less food, so it's a big decrease in voluntary food consumption.
And they did this because they were getting increased amounts
of gut hormones being released in response to the meal.
And these hormones included GLP one, which is what is
all of the ozempic and we'll go via based on,
(17:18):
as well as CCK and PYY. So those are essentially
the three major appetite suppressing hormones from the gut, and
we were able to stimulate them to a very high degree.
So we got a sixfold change in GLP one and
a sixfold change in CCK, and around a doubling of PYY.
Now these push the activity levels of these hormones into
(17:41):
the appetite suppression range. And more importantly than that, we
were able to mimic the natural cycles of these hormones.
So what was happening was you're getting a normal response
to a meal and it was going up and then
down again, so following this natural circadian rhythm, it was
just being boosted and extended a little bit. So unlike
a synthetic GLP one, which is stabilized and injected, we
(18:03):
were able to increase these levels with the very natural
profile and just extend how long people were feeling full full,
and also you know, decrease the hunger they had at
the time of the meal.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, and so Calaicurb's key ingredient, a mercede, is derived
from hops and it mimics GLP one. Sarah, can you
expand on doctor Walker how he was explaining how the
plant based approach differs from the synthetic GLP one drugs
like ozembic, especially in the terms of safety in long
(18:38):
term sustainability. How do we keep that weight loss off
and how does calicurb work in that regard.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Sure, So, kellikub or the active ingredient in it super
stimulates the release of these appetite suppressing hormones in your gut.
So we're actually we're actually superstimulating your own GLP one,
CCK and p y Y because we all release it.
(19:05):
But as Dr Walker said this Marcet is doing it
at six times the normal level. So this is what
I'm doing. So with a o zempaic or what we
call it a synthetic hormone, These are synthetic hormones that
you inject in yourself. Nothing wrong with them, but they
are a synthetic hormone, and when you inject in a
(19:27):
synthetic hormone, of course you're always going to decrease your
natural hormone release because a synthetic hormone is doing it
for you and your own natural hormones go, hey, you
know what, I'm going on holiday. We don't let them
go on holiday. We exercise them and we get them
to release, and we get them to do that when
(19:49):
you need it, which is if you take calicurb an
hour or an hour and a half before a main
meal like lunch or lunch or dinner, this will decrease
your intake. So because it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So sorry doctor, Yeah, so Calikerb it took fifteen years
and thirty million in research to develop. When we come
back from break break, I want you guys to both
explain what was the pivotal discovery, that aha moment in
the lab that made you realize that this is revolutionizing
weight management. So, folks, when we come back, it's we're
(20:27):
gonna go ahead and get into this a little bit more.

That's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two.
(22:09):
Let's keep learning, growing and empowering each other. All right,
we're talking with Sarah and doctor Walker from Calacurb and
uh and Sarah's been nice enough to give doctor Bob
listeners ten percent off your first bottle of Calaicurb. All
you got to do is visit caliicurb dot com. That's
spelling out c A l O cu rb dot com
(22:30):
and use the code doctor Bob. That's d r b
O B again that's Calacurb, and use the code doctor
Bob for ten percent off. All right, Sarah, right before
break we were talking about that aha moment with Caliicurb.
You know again, listeners, it took fifteen years and thirty
million in research develop and that pivotal discovery or that
(22:51):
aha moment in the lab. What what did you see
that was going to revolutionize weight management?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Well, so I can probably cover this one. Yeah, so
there were there were a few of those moments.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
So we were really fortunate that we had I guess
three main questions we were looking at, and that was
do we have the bitter taste receptors in the gut,
could we activate them in the lab, and could we
see clinical effects? And we had we had aha moments
really for all of those. So the first thing was
identifying those those taste buds or taste receptors in the gut.
(23:27):
No one had done, I guess, in depth study really
looking at that when we started, so getting that those
results and seeing those receptors were there was a real
big thing for us. Secondly, when you look at the
cells that produced these glp ones, these natural hormones, they
don't like doing it in response to bitterness. So they're
(23:48):
basically the bodies designed to eat, and so to trigger
them to send that stop eating signal from the gut
to the brain is quite difficult.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
And so really even getting the.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Hop extract to make the cells release these hormones in
the lab was a really well we can actually we
can actually do this because virtually nothing we tried worked
and that's probably not surprising to people, because if you
put something slightly bitter, like a cup of coffee or something,
you don't suddenly feel full. We really discovered that the
bitterness had to be very very potent to work, and
(24:22):
we could see that in the lab, and I guess
the final moment came when we had the clinical trials.
So we had the first clinical trial, a bunch of
sort of young guys who were sitting there and they
were presented with a meal and they were almost they
almost saw it as a change to see how much
they could eat, and then they'd start the meal and
(24:44):
then all of a sudden they just stop and they're like, oh,
I'm really full.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
It just suddenly I just don't want to eat anymore.
This is really weird.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
And so the participants were giving this feedback and almost
this surprise on their face that they just weren't able
to eat this food.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
We'd given them.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
And so I think it was then that we really
knew that there was there was and that was before
we had all the hormone results. Just that behavioral response
from the participants really showed us that we had something
that could actually work and could really help people.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
M Yeah, yeah, And I've been taking calicurb for a
few months now and I really like it. And it's
not just the fact that it curbs the appetite. I
feel like when I take one in the in the
morning and I'm not as hungry, I also feel like
my body is sustaining its own energy level like it
maybe it's feeding off of itself. So you know, that's
(25:35):
that's my experience. And Sarah, this this question is for you.
The clinical trials, they're one thing. But what's the most
surprising or impactful feedback you've heard from everyday users about
caliicurb or do you have any of those wow stories
we had an Aha moment in a lab. Let's talk
about a wow story.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
We get hundreds of hundreds of feedback from from consumers
using it, but the biggest one we always back is,
which is almost as Ed said, the surprise. You take
the noise from my brain, You take the noise from
my head. So this constant food noise for people is
(26:13):
I want to eat, What am I going to eat?
Where am I going to eat? And so on like that.
You know, yes, we do get weight loss, we get
a lot of feedback on that, but it's the food noise.
It's a quietening of that. And just my own AHA
moment would have been in twenty seventeen, I had some
test capsules and I was out at dinner with a
(26:35):
group of women and because we're in New Zealand, we
had a little leg of slow cocked lamb in the
middle of us and we kind of finished eating. But
normally I would sort of peck, you know, you'd finish,
you'd be talking, you'd pick at the crunchy bits. And
I'd had a calicub before, and I was just like,
(26:56):
I'm full, and I just couldn't eat any And I
suppose that was like that, as Ed said, it's almost
this incredible surprise. I'm full and I don't want to
eat anymore. So yeah, I'm a huge fan of it.
But the feedback is fantastic. Read the food noise.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I agree with that, doctor Walker. Some people they hear
natural appetites as present and they assume it's just another fat.
How do you respond to skeptics who question whether plant
based solutions can truly compete with pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I guess there's a couple of ways to look at that.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
And firstly that probably most pharmaceuticals are in fact based
on plant compounds, at least initially, so around fifty percent
maybe more of them are.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And when you look at things like even met Foreman, which.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Is a diabetes drug that's based on a plant compound,
you know, we have aspirin, which is based on plant
compound as well, and so there's a lot of evidence
in the market and through the scientific literature the plant
compounds are very effective, so effective that pharmaceutical companies based
their drug discovery on them. I think the second point
(28:15):
is that, unlike I guess most nutraceuticals or supplements that
are on the market, there's a really large quantity of
scientific evidence to support this, and it goes through multiple levels.
So we have not only indications from historical usage that
bitterness can be used.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
To regulate appetites.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
We've got this great historical usage in various cultures, so
that in the Kalahari and the Highlands of Scotland they'd
use bitterness to regulate appetite to suppress it. We also
have a very solid mode of action. So we've shown
these hormones can be released from the gut, and we've
shown that they can be released at levels that are
known to regulate appetite. So we're hitting sort of a
(28:56):
biological threshold for regulation of appetite. And we're also able
to show really meaningful behavioral changes across several studies, so
we can show meaningful decreases and appetite, and we can
show meaning decreases and cravings for food, and particularly noticeable
cravings for sweet food post a meal, which of course
(29:18):
is an area when people really struggle. So I think
that the body of scientific evidence, so not only a
theory that makes sense based on the historical data, but
then a body of scientific evidence, a layer upon layer
of Yes, we know this works. We know there are
taste receptors in the gut. We know they stimulate these hormones.
We know they suppress appetite, we know they suppress food cravings.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
We're talking with doctor Walker and Sarah Kennedy, the founder

let's dive back into our conversation with Sarah Kennedy, the
(31:12):
founder and CEO of Calacurb, who's been nice enough to
offer Doctor Bob Martin show listeners ten percent off their order.
If you visit a go to calacurb dot com. That's
spelled c A l O c U RB dot com
and enter the code doctor Bob. It's d r B
O B Again, that's for ten percent off. All you
got to do is go to calacurb dot com c
(31:33):
A l O c U RB dot com and use
the code doctor Bob d R B O B. All right, Sarah, So,
for listeners considering Caliicurb, what's your number one tip to
maximize the results, whether that's timing or diet synergy. I
know we've discussed before on the show about intermitt and fasting.
(31:54):
Tell us what's your secret to maximizing results.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
We'll look for the consumer who wants to reduce their
meal size. Take calicub at least well an hour to
an hour and a half before lunch and before dinner.
So what you want to do is take it on
an empty stomach. And the reason for that is you
want it to pass the stomach and it releases in
(32:18):
the upper digestive system, so you do want it. If
you take it on a full stomach, it's not going
to get down there. So always on an empty stomach,
and I usually have a glass of water. Now, how
are you going to remind yourself of that? You know,
it doesn't have to be an absolute hour, So I
kind of say, you know, when you have that morning coffee,
that mid morning coffee about ten o'clock or ten thirty,
(32:42):
just take it. Then, you know that three o'clock or
four o'clock in the afternoon when you're feeling like, oh,
you know, I want something to perk me up. You know, well,
it's not going to perk you up, but you will
remember to take your calicub. Another good hack for that is,
of course, putting a reminder on your phone. The easiest
way to take it. You and I have talked about
(33:03):
intermittent fasting. I intermittent fast mainly because I'm lazy. I
think it's just easy for me. But I take mine
in the morning at about eight or nine o'clock and
that'll see me right the way through to lunchtime. And Alie,
good lunch. But I just won't eat too much.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And you said, set yourself a reminder on your phone,
and that's a that's a good clue. What I use
as a clue is I just listen to my stomach.
So if I'm if I'm getting a little bit a
little bit hungry that mid afternoon, I go ahead and
take another capsule real easy. It sits on the stomach,
you know, just drink it with a little bit of water,
and I'm usually good. I eat a light dinner then,
so it helps with that. Not you know, you go
(33:45):
all day and you don't just go ahead and just
eat everything inside of that dinner meal.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So that's that's how I use it.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
And so, doctor Walker, where do you see calicer fitting
into the future of health, especially as this demand for
non pharmaceutical options are growing. Are there any new applications
or research directions that you're excited about for calicurb.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Yeah, I mean, we're there's so many possibilities, and I
think that at a at a fundamental level, it's it's
about more than than weight loss and appetite suppression. So
what what calor Cub's really doing is it's teaching your
gut to talk to your brain properly. So, so the
gut is the guts there, and it's meant to be
(34:28):
telling your brain that you're full, And for various reasons,
our guts are not really communicating with the brain properly anymore.
And I think that the calorcub is really just restoring
that ability to communicate, restoring that ability for your your
gut to tell your brain you're full. And on top
of that, there's numerous other gut signals that affect health
and well being that can also be be modified and enhanced.
(34:51):
From a from a scientific standpoint, we're just we're just
going to have a weight loss study, a long term
weight loss study shall be should be published at the
at the beginning of next year, which looks at one
hundred and fifty people undergoing a six month weight loss,
and we're very excited for the results of that, but
(35:13):
I think more so there's a real opportunity for people
to use this kind of product or this product exactly
when they're looking at coming off medications. So one of
the really massive challenges that we face is that these
GLP one injectables, the semi glue tides, are very very
effective for weight loss as long as you stay on them.
(35:36):
And what we find is that as soon as people
stop taking the injectable medication, they get a weight regain,
and that that weight regain is typically has been shown
to be faster where he's indicated to be faster than
if you had lost that weight naturally and then then
re regain it. So we need something to stabilize people's
weight afterwards. And we've actually done a in clinic study
(35:57):
with doctor Richard Goldfarb, who's a well respected plastic surgeon
in America, and we've been able to show that if
you take calicurb after you've gone off the weight loss injectables,
we're able to stabilize people's weight to prevent that weight regain.
And I'm very very excited to see the results of
that were published and a should be published well hopefully
(36:17):
before the end of this year.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Great great, Doctor Walker. So you're listening to Doctor Walker.
He's talking about Cala curb and I also want to
remind you of the listeners. If you want to save
ten percent off, go to calacurb dot com. It's spelled
c A l O c U r b dot com
and enter the code Doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
That's d r bo B.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show where we're
going to come back after the break and finish shop.
You're don't go anywhere. Thank you for listening, Welcome back.
(37:16):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman for the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
And well folks. We've covered a lot of ground today,
from the hidden down sides of popular weight loss medications
to the power of natural alternatives like caliicurb. If you've
taken anyway anything away from today's conversation, it's this. Your
health is not a quick fix, it's a journey, and
(37:38):
the best solutions work with your body, not against it.
We started this hour by exposing the truth about GLP
one drugs, how they can come with brutal side effects,
sky high costs in no guarantee of long term success.
But then we also revealed to break through. It's cali curb,
a plant based, science based alternative that helps curb cravings
(38:02):
naturally and no needles, no nausea, just a smarter way
to reset your appetite in make healthier choices. So thank
you Sarah and doctor Walker for joining us today. We
have just a minute or two left. Any final thoughts
on weight management relating to Caliker before we go?
Speaker 7 (38:22):
Yes, So, I think that as a scientist, what calor
cub represents to me is evidence that you can make
a meaningful difference to people's health with a nutraceutical plant
based product, and that if you take a scientific approach
and you really do a careful research project, you can
develop a product which is highly effective, safe, and able
(38:45):
to be used by a lot of people. It's my
sincere hope that cala cub, and indeed products like caloricub
continue to be developed and that as we go forward,
we're able to not only show that we can modify
weight and reduce people's eating, how much food eat and
they're eating behavior, but we can also develop other clinically
(39:05):
proven plant based treatments for a variety of health conditions
and give people a meaningful alternative to taking pharmaceutical medications.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Great, doctor Walker, and I think the important thing here
Calacurb isn't some fly by night supplement. It's the result
of fifteen years and thirty million in government funded research,
and the key ingredient, Amerasate, is clinically shown to target
the same fullness signals as GLP one drugs, but without
that rollercoaster of side effects. So to me, that's not
(39:35):
just promising, that's revolutionary. And here's the bigger picture. Weight
management isn't just about what you take, it's about what
you do. So pairing Caliicurb with whole foods, stress management
and movement, and you've got a recipe for sustainable results.
That's how you break the cycle of the yo yo
(39:55):
dieting for good. So before we wrap up, I also
want to courage the listeners we want to hear from you.

This is doctor Adam Brockman signing off.
Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,
The Doctor Bob Martin Show. Doctor Martin is a chiropractic physician,
a Board certified clinical nutritionist, and diplomat of the American
Academy of Anti Aging Medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:23):

may have got a health related problem or challenge, not
feeling well, and you just don't know where to turner
what to do. Doctor Bob Martin is here for you
and will do his very best to answer your health question.
The tone free number to ask Doctor Martin a health
(00:44):
question or to make a health related comment is eight
hundred six oh six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred
six oh six eighty eight twenty two. That's eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good day to you. Doctor Adam Brockman here coming to
you as co host on The Doctor Bob Martin Show,
America's trusted source for your health. Whether you're scrolling through
your phone right now or staring at your computer screen
wondering why your genes feel just a little tighter these days.
We're thrilled you are joining us today. Now, let's talk
(01:23):
about something we all think about but rarely address properly,
and that's our weight, that number on the scale, the
way your clothes fit, the energy you have or don't have.
And by midday, it's all connected. And if you've been
following the headlines, you're familiar with the latest quote miracle
(01:48):
weight loss drugs like Ozimpic, Wagovi, and Manjaro. These GLP
one medications are everywhere from Hollywood to your neighbor's medicine cabinet.
But here's the question no one's asking, what if there's
a better way, a safer, more natural alternative that doesn't
(02:09):
come with that laundry list, a side effects, or the
sky high price tag. Today we're going to talk about
the real story behind GLP one medications. These drugs work
by mimicking a hormone called GLP one, which tells your
brain you're full. It sounds great, right, but here's the catch.
(02:33):
They're not magic. Many users report side effects like nausea, vomiting,
and even muscle loss. And let's talk about the cost.
Some of these drugs run over one thousand dollars a
month without insurance, and worse yet, studies show that once
you stop taking them, the weight often comes roaring back.
(02:56):
That's not a solution, that's a band aid. But here's
what's concerning. These drugs are being prescribed like candy, often
without addressing the root cause of weight gain. Are you
still eating processed foods? Are you stressed out of your mind?
Or are you not getting enough sleep? These medications don't
(03:18):
fix any of that. They're just silencing the symptoms while
your body continues to struggle. Now, I'm not here to
bash these prescriptions. For some people that golp one drugs,
they've been a lifeline. But what if I told you
there's a natural way to achieve weight management results and
without the side effects, and without the dependency, and without
(03:41):
the outrageous cost. That's where caliicurb comes in. Caliicurbs apelled
clo Curb is the result of fifteen years of research
in thirty million in New Zealand government backed science. Its
secret weapon is a patented, hops derived ingredient called a marisek.
(04:03):
Like GLP one drugs, it curbs It helps curb your
cravings and promotes fullness. But here's the difference. It's plant based,
and it's gentle on your stomach, and it's designed to
work with your body, not against it. No nausea, no
muscle loss. It's just a natural way to reset your
(04:24):
relationship with food. And later this hour we're going to
dive deeper into the science behind calacurb, including clinical studies
that show how it stacks up against the synthetic drugs.
But here's the bottom line. If you're tired of the
quick fixes that don't last, or if you're weary of
(04:45):
pumping your body full of these chemicals, then this could
be the breakthrough you've been waiting for. Now here's where
you come in. Our phone lines are open at eight
hundred six or A six eight eight two to two.
If you strugg with cravings, or you're tired of yo
yo diety, give us a call at eight hundred six
or oh six eight eight two two. Maybe you're worried
(05:07):
about the long term effects of the weight loss medications,

bob dot com. All right, well, we've got a powerpacked
hour ahead, from the science of natural appetite control to
(05:53):
the foods that keep you full without the crash. So
put down the sugary snack, grab a glass of water,
and let's.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Go ahead and dive in.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Today. As we mentioned, we're going to dive into an
enlightening discussion about Calacurb. It's a revolutionary weight management product
that's changing lives globally. But behind every great innovation, there's
an even greater story. So let's go ahead and meet
the brilliant minds who made it happen. First, let's talk
(06:24):
about Calacurb again, that's spelled clocurb. This isn't just another
weight loss supplement. It's the result of fifteen years of
cutting edge research and again thirty million dollars in New
Zealand government based science. And what makes it so unique
is its star ingredient Amerise. It's a natural, hops based
(06:47):
appetite suppression that works similar to GLP one that's the
fullness hormone, and it helps people make healthier food choices
without the synthetic drugs. Already available in five domestic and
international markets, including here in America. Calicurb is it's on
a mission to redefine weight management and that's one capsule
(07:10):
at a time. Now, let's meet the CEO behind CALICRB.
It's Sarah Kennedy, with a career that's spanning over twenty
years in agribusiness, nutrition and executive leadership. Sarah is no
stranger to transformation. Trained as a VET, she's held top
roles at Fonterra, including Vice President of International Farming and
(07:31):
Managing Director of Dairy Nutrition. She has also led healthories
where she tripled revenue and merged two giants to create Vidaco,
which is the third largest health and wellness company in
Australia and Asia. She's also a MIT Sloan fellow. In
Sarah's personal journey with weight management inspired her to bring
(07:53):
CALICRB to life, proving that sometimes the best solutions come
from lived experience. And of course none of this would
be possible without the science. Enter Doctor Edward Walker a researcher,
lecture and nutraceutical pioneer with a PhD studying the antioxidant
(08:13):
effects of berry fruits. Doctor Walker has spent thirteen years
researching plant based appetite suppressants. His groundbreaking work led to
amerisit the key ingredient in caliicurb as a scientist at
the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research. In
a guest lecture at the University of Auckland, He's dedicated
(08:34):
to turning lab discoveries into real world solutions. Doctor Walker's passion.
It's harnessing the power of plants to prevent chronic disease
and promote lifelong wellness. So there you have it, Sarah
Kennedy's visionary leadership, Doctor Walker's scientific brilliance in Calikerb's natural innovation. Together,
(08:57):
they're not just creating a product, they're shaping a healthier future.
So with that, I want to say, welcome to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show, Sarah and doctor Walker. How are
you guys today?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Hi, Adam, I'm good packed.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I'm very happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Great, great, great, Well thanks for joining me today. And
we just got a little bit before our first break.
I want to go ahead and have doctor Walker, Can
you explain to me how a marsate works inside the body?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Sure, So everyone knows that there was to do with
bitter taste and taste receptors and your gut. So everyone
knows that you have taste on your tongue, and that
taste tells you whether food.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Is good to eat or not.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
So you put something sweet on your tongue, it's very nice.
If you want to have more, you put something bitter
on your tongue, you want to split that out. Well,
it turns out you have taste receptors or taste buds
all the way down your gut, and they do a
similar sort of thing, except instead of having a conscious
signal to your brain, they have a sub conscious hormone
based signal. And so you take something very sweet and
(10:04):
you put it in your stomach, your stomach will actually
send it a pro appetite signal to your brain saying, hey,
this is good, I want to eat more. If you
take something very very bitter and you put it down
past your stomach, in you in your small intestine, then
your essentially your your gut will tell your brain. It
will say, hey, I told you not to eat that
(10:25):
when it was on your tongue. I don't like it
in my in my gut, So I'm going to have
to stop you eating. And I'm going to do this
by sending a signal to your brain that tells you're full.
And this signal is GLP one c T k P
y y to a variety of different different hormones. And
that's that's essentially how Amara saying suppressed people appetite and
(10:46):
reduce how much food they eat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
All right, you're listening to Doctor Walker from Cali Curb.
Will be right back from the Doctor Doctor Bob Barton Show.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Thanks, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and you're listening to the Doctor
Bob Martin Show, where we're all about smarter living and
thriving naturally and teaching you to become your own best
doctor most of the time. And remember, if you've got
questions about natural health, nutrition, or anything in between, our
toll free hotline is always open at eight hundred six
(11:38):
zero six eight eight two two. That's where two licensed physicians,
doctor Bob and I were standing by to help you
unlock your best self. That's eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two two. All right, let's get back into
it with doctor Walker from Cali Curb again. That's spelled
c A L O c U R B and you
can find it at caliicurb dot com. But doctor Walker,
(12:00):
we were talking about amerisate. Can you tell the listeners
how ameersate was originally discovered in what prompted the search
for natural appetite regulating compounds.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Yeah, so it all started in two thousand and nine
when the New Zealand government put out a call to
do basically looked for a plant based alternative to drugs
for weight loss and appetite management. Now, the reason why
the government did this was twofold. Firstly because we have,
similar to America, an obesity crisis with growing numbers of
(12:35):
overweight and obese people as well as a large amount
of adolescent obesity. And there was also no real good
pharmaceutical options at the time, so we'd had a few
different drugs available. So subertua mean, which is almost like
a stimulant, which had recently been withdrawn from the market
in two thousand and five due to potential cardiac issues.
(12:57):
And there was another drug that was available and Europe
Asian America, but it was available in Europe, which was
a sort of inverse cannabinoid agonist, and so it sort
of worked like anti marijuana, but it caused depressive thoughts.
So the government wanted essentially something natural and something that
would be safer, so they put out a call and
(13:18):
Plant Food Research, the government organization that I work for,
decided that it would be a good idea essentially to
target the gaser intestinal tract because there's a series of
hormones there that are very effective at regulating appetite and
they can do so with only sort of minimal side effects.
If you get some side effects, that tend to only
be gaser intestinal and they don't occur that frequently. So
(13:41):
we really put together a research program based on that
and we started looking at a few different theories. The
one which we really had off was using bitterness to
regulate appetite and targeting that to the gut.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And Sarah, I want you to come in on this
because without the scientific, pacific research and bringing it to
market that component, how can you describe the development of
calicurb as a commercially related product.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Sure, Dr Adam, I was presented this extract in two
and seventeen, and in my time within this industry, I
had never seen an extract with that amount of science
behind it which looked into This was long before ozenpic
(14:38):
which looked which could address such a big category where
we could actually own it from source to shelf. So
I was absolutely entranced by the science and I was asked, well,
what would you do with it? And a bit like
the man that brought the company, I was like, I
(14:58):
absolutely love it. So here and started the journey of
you know, I raised money, I formed a team, and
in two thousand and eight we launched CALICU. But yeah,
it was a science that absolutely I'd never seen science
like it.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And doctor Walker, you touched briefly on the science behind it.
What is this clinical research saying in about the effectiveness
of a merisate.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, So we did several scientifical research studies in
order to validate efficacy. Essentially, the first thing we did
was we really wanted to show that we had these
bitter taste systems and the gats are intestinal tracts, so
that the first stage of the research was to go
into hospital and to get people ask people to volunteer
(15:51):
bits of their intestinal tracts, so biopsies from allow along
their intestinal tract to identify where all of these bitter
tasting systems were in the gut and to figure out
how's best to target them. We had twenty eight people
take part of them. We got this very nice map
of the gastro intestinal track, so we knew exactly where
(16:11):
to target and really what to use. We then did
a series of in vitro screening essays so drug discovery
essentially all drug discovery type systems, where we looked for
what would be best at triggering these bitter taste systems
within the gastra intestinal tract. And then once we found
(16:34):
a potent activator in this case, it was a hop
extract we called a maris et we ran a series
of acute clinical trials to really show that it could
work in people. The first of these trials was showing
the mode of action, and what we were able to
show is if the maris ad extract was given an
hour before and eat till your full meal and then
(16:55):
a subsequent snack that people would voluntarily eat eighteen percent
less food, so it's a big decrease in voluntary food consumption.
And they did this because they were getting increased amounts
of gut hormones being released in response to the meal.
And these hormones included GLP one, which is what is
all of the ozempic and we'll go via based on,
(17:18):
as well as CCK and PYY. So those are essentially
the three major appetite suppressing hormones from the gut, and
we were able to stimulate them to a very high degree.
So we got a sixfold change in GLP one and
a sixfold change in CCK, and around a doubling of PYY.
Now these push the activity levels of these hormones into
(17:41):
the appetite suppression range. And more importantly than that, we
were able to mimic the natural cycles of these hormones.
So what was happening was you're getting a normal response
to a meal and it was going up and then
down again, so following this natural circadian rhythm, it was
just being boosted and extended a little bit. So unlike
a synthetic GLP one, which is stabilized and injected, we
(18:03):
were able to increase these levels with the very natural
profile and just extend how long people were feeling full full,
and also you know, decrease the hunger they had at
the time of the meal.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, and so Calaicurb's key ingredient, a mercede, is derived
from hops and it mimics GLP one. Sarah, can you
expand on doctor Walker how he was explaining how the
plant based approach differs from the synthetic GLP one drugs
like ozembic, especially in the terms of safety in long
(18:38):
term sustainability. How do we keep that weight loss off
and how does calicurb work in that regard.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Sure, So, kellikub or the active ingredient in it super
stimulates the release of these appetite suppressing hormones in your gut.
So we're actually we're actually superstimulating your own GLP one,
CCK and p y Y because we all release it.
(19:05):
But as Dr Walker said this Marcet is doing it
at six times the normal level. So this is what
I'm doing. So with a o zempaic or what we
call it a synthetic hormone, These are synthetic hormones that
you inject in yourself. Nothing wrong with them, but they
are a synthetic hormone, and when you inject in a
(19:27):
synthetic hormone, of course you're always going to decrease your
natural hormone release because a synthetic hormone is doing it
for you and your own natural hormones go, hey, you
know what, I'm going on holiday. We don't let them
go on holiday. We exercise them and we get them
to release, and we get them to do that when
(19:49):
you need it, which is if you take calicurb an
hour or an hour and a half before a main
meal like lunch or lunch or dinner, this will decrease
your intake. So because it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So sorry doctor, Yeah, so Calikerb it took fifteen years
and thirty million in research to develop. When we come
back from break break, I want you guys to both
explain what was the pivotal discovery, that aha moment in
the lab that made you realize that this is revolutionizing
weight management. So, folks, when we come back, it's we're
(20:27):
gonna go ahead and get into this a little bit more.

Let's keep learning, growing and empowering each other. All right,
we're talking with Sarah and doctor Walker from Calacurb and
uh and Sarah's been nice enough to give doctor Bob
listeners ten percent off your first bottle of Calaicurb. All
you got to do is visit caliicurb dot com. That's
spelling out c A l O cu rb dot com
(22:30):
and use the code doctor Bob. That's d r b
O B again that's Calacurb, and use the code doctor
Bob for ten percent off. All right, Sarah, right before
break we were talking about that aha moment with Caliicurb.
You know again, listeners, it took fifteen years and thirty
million in research develop and that pivotal discovery or that
(22:51):
aha moment in the lab. What what did you see
that was going to revolutionize weight management?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Well, so I can probably cover this one. Yeah, so
there were there were a few of those moments.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
So we were really fortunate that we had I guess
three main questions we were looking at, and that was
do we have the bitter taste receptors in the gut,
could we activate them in the lab, and could we
see clinical effects? And we had we had aha moments
really for all of those. So the first thing was
identifying those those taste buds or taste receptors in the gut.
(23:27):
No one had done, I guess, in depth study really
looking at that when we started, so getting that those
results and seeing those receptors were there was a real
big thing for us. Secondly, when you look at the
cells that produced these glp ones, these natural hormones, they
don't like doing it in response to bitterness. So they're
(23:48):
basically the bodies designed to eat, and so to trigger
them to send that stop eating signal from the gut
to the brain is quite difficult.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
And so really even getting the.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Hop extract to make the cells release these hormones in
the lab was a really well we can actually we
can actually do this because virtually nothing we tried worked
and that's probably not surprising to people, because if you
put something slightly bitter, like a cup of coffee or something,
you don't suddenly feel full. We really discovered that the
bitterness had to be very very potent to work, and
(24:22):
we could see that in the lab, and I guess
the final moment came when we had the clinical trials.
So we had the first clinical trial, a bunch of
sort of young guys who were sitting there and they
were presented with a meal and they were almost they
almost saw it as a change to see how much
they could eat, and then they'd start the meal and
(24:44):
then all of a sudden they just stop and they're like, oh,
I'm really full.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
It just suddenly I just don't want to eat anymore.
This is really weird.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
And so the participants were giving this feedback and almost
this surprise on their face that they just weren't able
to eat this food.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
We'd given them.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
And so I think it was then that we really
knew that there was there was and that was before
we had all the hormone results. Just that behavioral response
from the participants really showed us that we had something
that could actually work and could really help people.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
M Yeah, yeah, And I've been taking calicurb for a
few months now and I really like it. And it's
not just the fact that it curbs the appetite. I
feel like when I take one in the in the
morning and I'm not as hungry, I also feel like
my body is sustaining its own energy level like it
maybe it's feeding off of itself. So you know, that's
(25:35):
that's my experience. And Sarah, this this question is for you.
The clinical trials, they're one thing. But what's the most
surprising or impactful feedback you've heard from everyday users about
caliicurb or do you have any of those wow stories
we had an Aha moment in a lab. Let's talk
about a wow story.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
We get hundreds of hundreds of feedback from from consumers
using it, but the biggest one we always back is,
which is almost as Ed said, the surprise. You take
the noise from my brain, You take the noise from
my head. So this constant food noise for people is
(26:13):
I want to eat, What am I going to eat?
Where am I going to eat? And so on like that.
You know, yes, we do get weight loss, we get
a lot of feedback on that, but it's the food noise.
It's a quietening of that. And just my own AHA
moment would have been in twenty seventeen, I had some
test capsules and I was out at dinner with a
(26:35):
group of women and because we're in New Zealand, we
had a little leg of slow cocked lamb in the
middle of us and we kind of finished eating. But
normally I would sort of peck, you know, you'd finish,
you'd be talking, you'd pick at the crunchy bits. And
I'd had a calicub before, and I was just like,
(26:56):
I'm full, and I just couldn't eat any And I
suppose that was like that, as Ed said, it's almost
this incredible surprise. I'm full and I don't want to
eat anymore. So yeah, I'm a huge fan of it.
But the feedback is fantastic. Read the food noise.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I agree with that, doctor Walker. Some people they hear
natural appetites as present and they assume it's just another fat.
How do you respond to skeptics who question whether plant
based solutions can truly compete with pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I guess there's a couple of ways to look at that.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
And firstly that probably most pharmaceuticals are in fact based
on plant compounds, at least initially, so around fifty percent
maybe more of them are.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And when you look at things like even met Foreman, which.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Is a diabetes drug that's based on a plant compound,
you know, we have aspirin, which is based on plant
compound as well, and so there's a lot of evidence
in the market and through the scientific literature the plant
compounds are very effective, so effective that pharmaceutical companies based
their drug discovery on them. I think the second point
(28:15):
is that, unlike I guess most nutraceuticals or supplements that
are on the market, there's a really large quantity of
scientific evidence to support this, and it goes through multiple levels.
So we have not only indications from historical usage that
bitterness can be used.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
To regulate appetites.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
We've got this great historical usage in various cultures, so
that in the Kalahari and the Highlands of Scotland they'd
use bitterness to regulate appetite to suppress it. We also
have a very solid mode of action. So we've shown
these hormones can be released from the gut, and we've
shown that they can be released at levels that are
known to regulate appetite. So we're hitting sort of a
(28:56):
biological threshold for regulation of appetite. And we're also able
to show really meaningful behavioral changes across several studies, so
we can show meaningful decreases and appetite, and we can
show meaning decreases and cravings for food, and particularly noticeable
cravings for sweet food post a meal, which of course
(29:18):
is an area when people really struggle. So I think
that the body of scientific evidence, so not only a
theory that makes sense based on the historical data, but
then a body of scientific evidence, a layer upon layer
of Yes, we know this works. We know there are
taste receptors in the gut. We know they stimulate these hormones.
We know they suppress appetite, we know they suppress food cravings.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
We're talking with doctor Walker and Sarah Kennedy, the founder
of Cala Curb, and when we get back, we're going
to get into how you can maximize your results with
Cala Curb. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martinshaw.
Speaker 8 (30:04):

let's dive back into our conversation with Sarah Kennedy, the
(31:12):
founder and CEO of Calacurb, who's been nice enough to
offer Doctor Bob Martin show listeners ten percent off their order.
If you visit a go to calacurb dot com. That's
spelled c A l O c U RB dot com
and enter the code doctor Bob. It's d r B
O B Again, that's for ten percent off. All you
got to do is go to calacurb dot com c
(31:33):
A l O c U RB dot com and use
the code doctor Bob d R B O B. All right, Sarah, So,
for listeners considering Caliicurb, what's your number one tip to
maximize the results, whether that's timing or diet synergy. I
know we've discussed before on the show about intermitt and fasting.
(31:54):
Tell us what's your secret to maximizing results.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
We'll look for the consumer who wants to reduce their
meal size. Take calicub at least well an hour to
an hour and a half before lunch and before dinner.
So what you want to do is take it on
an empty stomach. And the reason for that is you
want it to pass the stomach and it releases in
(32:18):
the upper digestive system, so you do want it. If
you take it on a full stomach, it's not going
to get down there. So always on an empty stomach,
and I usually have a glass of water. Now, how
are you going to remind yourself of that? You know,
it doesn't have to be an absolute hour, So I
kind of say, you know, when you have that morning coffee,
that mid morning coffee about ten o'clock or ten thirty,
(32:42):
just take it. Then, you know that three o'clock or
four o'clock in the afternoon when you're feeling like, oh,
you know, I want something to perk me up. You know, well,
it's not going to perk you up, but you will
remember to take your calicub. Another good hack for that is,
of course, putting a reminder on your phone. The easiest
way to take it. You and I have talked about
(33:03):
intermittent fasting. I intermittent fast mainly because I'm lazy. I
think it's just easy for me. But I take mine
in the morning at about eight or nine o'clock and
that'll see me right the way through to lunchtime. And Alie,
good lunch. But I just won't eat too much.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And you said, set yourself a reminder on your phone,
and that's a that's a good clue. What I use
as a clue is I just listen to my stomach.
So if I'm if I'm getting a little bit a
little bit hungry that mid afternoon, I go ahead and
take another capsule real easy. It sits on the stomach,
you know, just drink it with a little bit of water,
and I'm usually good. I eat a light dinner then,
so it helps with that. Not you know, you go
(33:45):
all day and you don't just go ahead and just
eat everything inside of that dinner meal.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So that's that's how I use it.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
And so, doctor Walker, where do you see calicer fitting
into the future of health, especially as this demand for
non pharmaceutical options are growing. Are there any new applications
or research directions that you're excited about for calicurb.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Yeah, I mean, we're there's so many possibilities, and I
think that at a at a fundamental level, it's it's
about more than than weight loss and appetite suppression. So
what what calor Cub's really doing is it's teaching your
gut to talk to your brain properly. So, so the
gut is the guts there, and it's meant to be
(34:28):
telling your brain that you're full, And for various reasons,
our guts are not really communicating with the brain properly anymore.
And I think that the calorcub is really just restoring
that ability to communicate, restoring that ability for your your
gut to tell your brain you're full. And on top
of that, there's numerous other gut signals that affect health
and well being that can also be be modified and enhanced.
(34:51):
From a from a scientific standpoint, we're just we're just
going to have a weight loss study, a long term
weight loss study shall be should be published at the
at the beginning of next year, which looks at one
hundred and fifty people undergoing a six month weight loss,
and we're very excited for the results of that, but
(35:13):
I think more so there's a real opportunity for people
to use this kind of product or this product exactly
when they're looking at coming off medications. So one of
the really massive challenges that we face is that these
GLP one injectables, the semi glue tides, are very very
effective for weight loss as long as you stay on them.
(35:36):
And what we find is that as soon as people
stop taking the injectable medication, they get a weight regain,
and that that weight regain is typically has been shown
to be faster where he's indicated to be faster than
if you had lost that weight naturally and then then
re regain it. So we need something to stabilize people's
weight afterwards. And we've actually done a in clinic study
(35:57):
with doctor Richard Goldfarb, who's a well respected plastic surgeon
in America, and we've been able to show that if
you take calicurb after you've gone off the weight loss injectables,
we're able to stabilize people's weight to prevent that weight regain.
And I'm very very excited to see the results of
that were published and a should be published well hopefully
(36:17):
before the end of this year.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Great great, Doctor Walker. So you're listening to Doctor Walker.
He's talking about Cala curb and I also want to
remind you of the listeners. If you want to save
ten percent off, go to calacurb dot com. It's spelled
c A l O c U r b dot com
and enter the code Doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
That's d r bo B.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show where we're
going to come back after the break and finish shop.
You're don't go anywhere. Thank you for listening, Welcome back.
(37:16):
I'm doctor Adam Brockman for the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
And well folks. We've covered a lot of ground today,
from the hidden down sides of popular weight loss medications
to the power of natural alternatives like caliicurb. If you've
taken anyway anything away from today's conversation, it's this. Your
health is not a quick fix, it's a journey, and
(37:38):
the best solutions work with your body, not against it.
We started this hour by exposing the truth about GLP
one drugs, how they can come with brutal side effects,
sky high costs in no guarantee of long term success.
But then we also revealed to break through. It's cali curb,
a plant based, science based alternative that helps curb cravings
(38:02):
naturally and no needles, no nausea, just a smarter way
to reset your appetite in make healthier choices. So thank
you Sarah and doctor Walker for joining us today. We
have just a minute or two left. Any final thoughts
on weight management relating to Caliker before we go?
Speaker 7 (38:22):
Yes, So, I think that as a scientist, what calor
cub represents to me is evidence that you can make
a meaningful difference to people's health with a nutraceutical plant
based product, and that if you take a scientific approach
and you really do a careful research project, you can
develop a product which is highly effective, safe, and able
(38:45):
to be used by a lot of people. It's my
sincere hope that cala cub, and indeed products like caloricub
continue to be developed and that as we go forward,
we're able to not only show that we can modify
weight and reduce people's eating, how much food eat and
they're eating behavior, but we can also develop other clinically
(39:05):
proven plant based treatments for a variety of health conditions
and give people a meaningful alternative to taking pharmaceutical medications.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Great, doctor Walker, and I think the important thing here
Calacurb isn't some fly by night supplement. It's the result
of fifteen years and thirty million in government funded research,
and the key ingredient, Amerasate, is clinically shown to target
the same fullness signals as GLP one drugs, but without
that rollercoaster of side effects. So to me, that's not
(39:35):
just promising, that's revolutionary. And here's the bigger picture. Weight
management isn't just about what you take, it's about what
you do. So pairing Caliicurb with whole foods, stress management
and movement, and you've got a recipe for sustainable results.
That's how you break the cycle of the yo yo
(39:55):
dieting for good. So before we wrap up, I also
want to courage the listeners we want to hear from you.
