Why is it so hard to simply “eat less”? According to Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of CaloCurb, the answer has a lot to do with biology.

In this episode, Staci & Missy interview Ms. Kennedy to explore the fascinating science of hunger, satiety, and the gut-brain connection—and how our bodies may actually fight back when we cut calories. Sarah shares the story behind CaloCurb, a natural appetite-management supplement that grew out of millions of dollars of New Zealand government-funded research into plant compounds and appetite regulation.

We dig into the discovery of bitter taste receptors throughout the digestive tract and how stimulating them can trigger our own natural satiety hormones, including GLP-1, CCK, and PYY. Sarah explains how CaloCurb’s hop-derived ingredient, Amarasate, is designed to work with these pathways and how its approach differs from pharmaceutical GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

We also talk about food noise, cravings, stress eating, hormones, intermittent fasting, protein as we age, and why our ancient biology isn’t necessarily well suited to a modern world where food is everywhere.

It’s a fascinating look at why hunger isn’t simply about willpower—and how understanding our biology may help us work with our bodies rather than constantly fighting against them.

We're back with some more new episodes!

What if some of the most powerful tools for better health aren’t new at all—but things humans have relied on for generations?

In this episode, we sit down with integrative family physician Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark to talk about her new book, Medicine for All People: Science and Ancient Wisdom for Revolutionary Healing. Dr. Maker-Clark challenges us to think beyond lab results, supplements, and the latest wellness trends and consider the many things that shape our health—including food, nature, movement, community, service, joy, and connection.

We talk about why so many of us are confused about what to eat, the importance of returning to simple whole foods, and what our ancestors understood about living in relationship with the natural world and with one another. We also explore why Dr. Maker-Clark considers dance a form of medicine, how loneliness and isolation affect our health, and why modern medicine and ancient wisdom don’t have to be at odds.

Her message is refreshingly simple: health doesn’t always have to be something we chase. Sometimes it’s something we can remember and restore, through small, gentle choices we make every day.

Medicine for All People is available August 11, 2026.
