DRS 50 | What is Leptin?




The Dr. Rob Show - Healthy Weight Loss Podcast show

Summary: In this episode we discuss a special phone call Dr. Rob received in the last week which guides us into our main topic of the day. Today we talk about the hormone Leptin, which is a hormone that is released from your body fat and communicates with your brain to let it know that you have enough body fat so you can stop eating (i.e. shuts off your appetite). Dr. Rob explains, the more fat someone has, the higher the level of Leptin that is being released. Your brain becomes resistant to the increased level of Leptin and eventually your brain stops receiving the “stop eating” signal all together.  We answer some commonly asked questions and we also talk about different ways to address Leptin related issues. What Do you Think? Have you ever had your Leptin levels checked?  If you are overweight, and have been struggling to lose it you should ask your doctor to check your Leptin level.
