In this video, we’re going to talk about leptin.

What is leptin? Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells. It sends signals through the blood to tell the body that you’re full. Leptin is a satiety hormone. It lets your brain know that it’s time to stop eating.

If you have a hard time feeling full or satisfied, it could be that your leptin levels are too low.

Since your fat cells make leptin, the more body fat that you have, the higher levels of leptin you should have.

In theory, the fatter you are, the more satisfied you should be. But this is not the case. When you have an excessive amount of leptin, your leptin receptors begin to develop a resistance to leptin. This is very similar to insulin resistance.

Those who are obese have a lot of leptin, but it is unavailable to their body. In turn, this brings a lot of hunger all day long.

The only way to restore leptin sensitivity is to lose weight, so you maintain healthy leptin levels.

Consuming plenty of healthy fats can actually help you burn fat and promote fullness. The healthy keto diet and intermittent fasting are the best ways to lose weight and support a healthy body. Give them a try and let me know how they work for you.
