GLP-1, Cravings & Food Noise: What Every Woman Needs to Understand

GLP-1, Cravings & Food Noise: What Every Woman Needs to Understand

She talks openly about dieting from age 11, binge–restrict cycles, and finally reaching a point where she can say, “I now am at peace with food… I can eat, but I no longer hate it.” The episode breaks down what GLP‑1 and other appetite hormones actually do, why hunger is wired into the hindbrain as a survival mechanism, and why “it’s not your fault if you break a diet.” Sarah explains how modern food environments, stress, lack of sleep, alcohol, and hormonal changes like perimenopause all crank up cravings and food noise, especially for women.

What drives someone to seek a life with less food noise and more peace around eating? This conversation on The Synergee Podcast zooms in on cravings, hunger hormones, and why so many women feel like they’re constantly fighting their own bodies. Host duo Laurie and Kelly chat with Sarah Kennedy, CEO of Calocurb, who shares her lifelong “love-hate relationship with food” and how that experience led her into the science of appetite regulation.

You’ll hear a detailed look at how bitter taste receptors in the gut trigger natural appetite-suppressing hormones, the difference between short-acting plant-based support and long-acting synthetic GLP‑1 injections, and why coming off injectables can leave people with “unbelievable” hunger. Laurie and Kelly keep pulling the conversation back to foundations: gut health first, protein and strength training to protect muscle, and working with qualified practitioners rather than shouldering the blame and trying to white-knuckle it.

This one speaks directly to anyone who’s ever thought, “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to do better,” and offers a more compassionate, physiology-based way of thinking about willpower, weight, and food freedom. If your inner critic has been louder than your hunger cues, this may be the perspective shift you’ve been waiting for.
