In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research on GLP-1s and other hunger hormones and how a clinically studied plant compound is helping women reduce cravings, improve appetite control, and support fat loss—naturally. You'll learn how bitter compounds work with your gut-brain axis, why your hunger hormones may be out of sync, and how this New Zealand–funded discovery is changing the game for women coming off GLP-1 injectables like semaglutide or tirzepatide.
