32. Dr. Ed Walker: How to Control Your Hunger Naturally (Without Injections)

How often do you find yourself struggling with cravings, feeling like your hunger is out of control, or wondering why weight loss feels impossible? The truth is, your gut is running the show, specifically, a powerful hormone called GLP-1 that regulates appetite, metabolism, and even inflammation. And the secret to boosting it naturally? Bitterness. In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Dr. Ed Walker, a leading researcher in translational medicine, to break down how bitter compounds, used for centuries in traditional medicine, can help regulate hunger, control glucose levels, and support long-term weight management.  Together we'll explore the groundbreaking science behind gut hormone therapies, the connection between GLP-1 and cognitive performance, and why modern diets are disrupting our natural appetite signals. If you're looking for sustainable, science-backed ways to improve your metabolism, curb cravings, and optimize your health, without relying on extreme diets or pharmaceuticals, this episode is for you! Dr. Ed Walker is a PhD researcher at the New Zealand Institute of Plant and Food Research, where he specializes in using plant-based compounds for chronic disease prevention. His work led to the discovery of Amarasate, a natural dietary supplement designed to enhance appetite regulation and metabolic health.   We Also Discuss: (00:00 - 09:44) Bitterness & Appetite Regulation (24:57 - 38:18) Boosting GLP-1 Naturally (44:05 - 50:19) Discovering & Testing GLP-1 Triggers (50:19 - 59:40) Amarasate: A Natural GLP-1 Booster Learn more about Dr. Shah: Website: https://www.drshah.com/ Clinic: https://www.next-health.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darshanshahmd/   Learn More about Dr. Ed Walker Website: https://www.calocurb.com/ Instagram: @calocurb
