  • Before You Start Ozempic l A deep dive into GLP-1 biology, Semaglutide vs Calocurb, Natural appetite suppression, PMS, and Female Metabolic Health with Sarah Kennedy
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Calocurb, to explore a radically different approach to appetite control rooted in real science, not willpower. With decades of leadership in nutrition and food science, Sarah breaks down how GLP-1s work, the downsides of chronic calorie restriction, and the key differences between synthetic drugs like semaglutide and natural GLP-1 stimulation. We dive into the history of bitters, digestion, and how Calocurb’s patented ingredient Amarasate® supports appetite regulation through the gut–brain axis. Sarah also shares compelling clinical trial results, insights on coming off GLP-1 drugs, and why under-eating—especially for women—can backfire hormonally. It’s a nuanced, empowering conversation about working with your biology to feel satisfied, nourished, and in control.

    Founder and CEO of Calocurb, Sarah Kennedy shepherded years of scientific research and clinical trials to bring a revolutionary product to market. A veterinarian by training, with more than 20 years’ experience in dietary and animal nutrition, Sarah has held a number of CEO and senior executive positions in food and agriculture industries, at companies including Fonterra and Healtheries/Vitaco NZ. In 2010, at MIT, Sarah completed a Sloan Fellowship Program in Global Leadership and Innovation and has spent decades leading in health, nutrition and consumer products with executive roles at many, many companies.

    Calocurb is a 100% natural appetite control supplement. Amarasate®, the patented active ingredient in Calocurb, was developed in New Zealand over 14 years and with $30m invested by Plant and Food Research, the largest NZ government-owned research institute.

  • Peptides: Magic or Hype? Why Everyone Is Talking About Peptide Therapy & The Benefits to Your Health with The Biohacker Babes
    Feb 2 2026

    Peptides are having a moment, but they’re not new or foreign to the body. In this episode, we break down what peptides actually are, how they differ from hormones, bioregulators, and supplements, and why they’re better understood as precision signaling tools rather than drugs. We also explain how peptides work using a simple lock-and-key model, how they’re manufactured, and why sourcing, purity, dosing, and delivery method matter for both safety and results.

    We dive into where peptides fit in today’s wellness landscape, including how they compare to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and walk through some of the most talked-about peptides, including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, Epitalon, MOTS-C, DSIP, and PT-141. From muscle building and fat loss to brain health, sleep, immune resilience, and skin and hair health, we explore real benefits through a physiology-first lens. We also cover who peptides may be helpful for, who should avoid them, and why foundational health like minerals, gut function, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health must be in place before layering peptides in.

  • How Sunlight Can Change Your Health, For the Better with Nadine Artemis l Debunking Sunscreen, Vitamin D, Melatonin & More
    Jan 26 2026

    In this eye-opening episode with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, we challenge everything you thought you knew about the sun. She unpacks why sunlight has become so controversial, tracing the history of heliotherapy and the very real biological need humans have for natural light. Nadine dives into the surprising benefits of sun exposure even in the winter, how light entering the eyes affects our hormones, and what the melanoma research actually shows when you look beyond the headlines. The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do. Packed with practical daily sun and light guidance, this episode will completely reshape how you think about sunshine, skin health, and long-term vitality.

    Nadine Artemis, the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, is the creator of Living Libations, a pure and luxurious line of organic oral care, botanical beauty care, and medicinal elixirs often called the “holy grail” of wholesome skincare. Artemis is an innovative aromacologist, and her healing formulations and her concept of renegade beauty encourage effortlessness, engaging with the elements, and inspires people to rethink conventional notions of wellness and beauty. She is a key speaker at health and wellness conferences and has received glowing reviews in the Hollywood Reporter, GOOP, Vogue, People, Elle, Yoga Journal, Natural Health, W Magazine, The New York Times, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, and National Post.
