216: Leptin, Meal Timing and Fasting
Most people don’t realize that the primary role of leptin is to regulate body fat. It is the major hormone that determines hunger, fat burning and fat storage. Unfortunately, many people are leptin resistant which means their bodies don’t get the proper signaling for efficient energy (fat) management.
In this week’s episode we’re talking about signs of leptin resistance and things to do about it including tweaking your meal timing, fasting and other circadian cues. Come listen and learn how to make your body more efficient at regulating body fat!
