This week we are talking about Leptin. What the heck is Leptin? It's a hormone that has a lot to do with our appetite. I'm really excited about this interview because we don't talk about Leptin enough. It usually keeps our appetite suppressed and under control. Whereas Grehlin is the opposite hormone. It’s our hunger hormone. They kind of work against each other to keep us feeling full or feeling hungry. So many of our other hormones impact these hormones. 

My expert guest today Dr. Bindiya Gandhi is going to talk about Leptin and Leptin resistance. She’s going to talk about why it's such an important issue to figure out and how it can impact your health.

On this podcast, we are going to talk about...

  • How leptin and grehlin work in your body.
  • What happens when they get out of whack.
  • What is leptin resistance.
  • How to find out if you have leptin resistance.
  • How to heal leptin resistance.
  • How leptin resistance can impact fertility.
