The Role of Leptin and Ghrelin in Weight Management | Dr. Shelly MD

Ever wonder why you feel hungry or full? Two key hormones—leptin and ghrelin—might be the reason.

In this episode, I discuss the roles of leptin and ghrelin in controlling hunger and weight. Leptin signals when you're full, while ghrelin triggers hunger. Also, factors like stress, sleep, and diet can disrupt these hormones, leading to overeating and weight gain. Although there's no direct treatment for balancing leptin and ghrelin, getting enough sleep, managing stress, eating a balanced diet, and staying active can help regulate hunger and support healthy weight management.
