Episode Summary

In midlife, I see TONS of women who are “doing all the right things”—eating clean, exercising harder, even restricting more—yet still are seeing the scale creep up.

That’s why I’ve invited Sarah Kennedy on the podcast, who’s the founder and CEO of Calocurb– a natural, non-prescription hunger control treatment option. 

We’re unpacking why hunger can feel louder and more relentless than ever for women in midlife. Sarah breaks down how shifting hormones, chronic stress, poor sleep, and dwindling bandwidth all fuel food noise, cravings, and that constant tug-of-war with your appetite. 

You’ll learn why willpower is not the problem—and why your biology deserves more compassion… not more restriction. 

Most importantly, Sarah shares practical, science-backed ways to calm midlife cravings and support your changing metabolism with more ease. Tune in here and finally make a change that shows you results!

QUOTES

“When you reduce your calories by 25%, your hunger actually doubles over four months. So the brain is telling you to go out and look for food, and your body thinks you are going into a famine. So it’s upping and upping and upping… this is why 99% of diets fail.”

“I’ve been on it 6-7 years now. I don’t take it twice a day, only take it once. But I can honestly say to you, I’m at peace with food… I think many, many people will find that.”

“This has been revolutionary in the fact that we now understand what is happening in our body and what is driving this hunger and craving.”

“I needed a different approach, and that’s when everything shifted for me. I really got into understanding how nutritional imbalances translated into hormonal imbalances because our hormones do shift.” 

“We can’t produce good energy if we don’t have the right nutrients igniting the functions or if we have a lot of oxidative stress and the body doesn’t have the capacity to clear it, and your cells are sluggish, heavy, and weighed down.”

Episode Summary

Hormone replacement therapy education is all the talk these days. But how do you cut through all the noise and get the right care for you? 

Expert in the field, Dr. Sarah Daccarett joins the podcast to get straight to the point about how the CORRECT hormone replacement methods can do more than just symptom management.

We want you to feel GOOD in midlife, not just symptom-free. A lot of providers aren’t knowledgeable or confident enough in HRT options, leaving you with a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. And sadly, this causes thousands of women to be totally underdosed. 

But Dr. Sarah offers something different that can potentially give some standardization for you. You can get predictable products and services at her company, Inner Balance.

With a clinical team to check in with, and less HRT side effects than other formulations, Inner Balance is a safe and massively effective option for managing your midlife hormone symptoms. 

Tune in here and learn how to get maximum benefit from hormone replacement therapy to live your brightest life!

Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD 

After treating thousands of women who felt ignored with their symptoms or who were totally misdiagnosed, Dr. Sarah realized the healthcare system wasn’t built for women, so she built something new. She’s the CEO and founder of Inner Balance- a medical approach to female biology that works with women’s bodies. It’s your science-backed and compassionate solution to hormonal health, with the mission to close the gender gap in healthcare for good. 

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. Why midlife women don’t get the hormone help they deserve
  2. The massive gap in knowledge around hormone replacement 
  3. The difference between hormone treatment for men and women 
  4. The importance of paying attention to your hormone dosing
  5. Understanding lab markers for hormone levels 
  6. The neuroprotective benefits of hormone replacement 
  7. Why so many women are underdosed with hormones 
  8. About Dr. Sarah Daccarett’s company, Inner Balance 

QUOTES

“It’s because women need to understand that this convoluted messaging they’re getting is suppressing them. It’s keeping them misinformed and it’s keeping them from living probably their fullest potential.”

“A take home message for anybody listening is that it’s not just the hormones that matter. It’s the way you’re trying to get them into the body. Unfortunately, we’re all having to turn into hormone experts because doctors are not figuring it out for us, so we’re doing it ourselves.”

“Women, if you want to treat estrogen dominance, you should make sure that your estrogen is actually [high] enough that all these chemicals can’t bind. Then you have enough progesterone to counterbalance it. So the treatment is not to lower estrogen, but to actually take it and then you’ll feel better.”
