But with their rise comes a flood of imitators, from flashy “GLP-1 patches” to supplements like Calocurb, all promising the same results without the needles or prescriptions. In this episode, I break down what GLP-1 actually is, how these drugs work, and why they’re so effective—not just for weight but also for cardiovascular outcomes. Then I take a closer look at the patches (spoiler: marketing magic, not science) and Calocurb’s hops extract, which shows some early promise but lacks long-term data. If you’re curious about food noise, appetite regulation, and how to separate science from sales tactics, this one’s for you.Highlights:How GLP-1 drugs regulate appetite, cravings, and even food noiseWhy “GLP-1 patches” are all marketing and no scienceWhat Calocurb is, how it works, and the research behind itShort-term vs long-term evidence for appetite control","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5uUjJw6NUZC5FWMQgLCI47ibFa6tBB2C0z8A_feCZiY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNjI2/NTEwMjAyMWQ2M2Iy/ZjliYjA4ZGFhMTBh/N2E2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
