My name is Dr. Garth Davis and I have spent my professional career helping people lose weight utilizing lifestyle changes, surgery, and medicines. For many years we have relied heavily on surgical intervention because medicines just didn't work, but that has all changed. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have ushered in a new wave of medications that provide a valuable tool for people trying to lose weight. The problem with the medications is they are extremely expensive. Many employers and insurance companies are now refusing to pay for the medications, and the demand for the medications is so high that, even if you can't afford the medications, you may not be able to find them, as most pharmacies are sold out.
Some people have resorted to compound pharmacies which create a similar medication, but you simply can't trust what you're getting from compound pharmacies. In fact, the FDA recently warned the public to not use compound pharmacies as you may be getting a false product that is wasting your money, or worse yet, putting yourself in danger.
Knowing that there is a medication that can help my patients lose weight but not having access to it has been very frustrating both for me and my patients. This led me to look for alternative solutions. These medications for weight loss are based on a peptide hormone called GLP-1. What you might not know is that GLP-1 is found naturally in our body. This hormone is secreted by cells in our intestinal tract, and its purpose is to limit the amount of food that we eat. In fact, there is a term for the secretion of GLP-1 called "the ileal brake". The ileum is the last part of the small intestine, and the area where most of the GLP-1 is secreted. It basically senses food and then puts on the brake, slowing digestion and making you not so hungry.
It should be no surprise then that I became very interested in how to stimulate the ileal brake naturally. I was fascinated to find multiple different natural substances that can stimulate GLP-1 and help with controlling hunger. In fact, there is a large body of research on each of these different substances with very good studies showing an effect on satiety and weight loss!
I then went in search of an organic supplement supplier. I never thought I would ever recommend a supplement, and really have never trusted most of the supplements my patients take daily. So, I decided that I needed a partner who could guarantee me a natural supplement that would be safe and effective, and honest enough for me to put my name on the product. Thankfully, I found Moringa Pura Vida. Their small farm in Costa Rica has been making natural, organic supplements for a long time, most grown right there in their fertile soil. I met with their experts in plant medicines and together Satiety Now was formed!
Our goal is to provide you a cost effective, evidenced based, natural, organic supplement that can help curb your hunger. We make no outrageous claims. The synthetic medications will have a far more dramatic effect, but we hope that our product will be a safe and attainable option to help you in your weight loss journey.
