“There’s usually something lifestyle-related that we could improve. We don't always need a prescription or a supplement.” - Dr. Bindiya Gandhi
Leptin, also known as the satiety hormone, is produced by our fat cells and is one of the main signals that tell our body whether we need to eat more or less. Balanced leptin levels help us maintain a healthy weight because of its impact on metabolism. Leptin resistance, on the other hand, often shows up as difficulty losing weight despite eating well and moving frequently.
Many factors can contribute to leptin resistance, including chronic stress, the standard American diet, medications, environmental toxins, and more. The common element is the impact these stressors have on your gut microbiome, which in turn influences your metabolism.
Today, I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Bindiya Gandhi to take a deeper look at leptin and its connection with thyroid health. In this conversation, Dr. Bindiya and I discuss leptin's role in metabolism, what leptin resistance means, factors contributing to leptin resistance, how to test for leptin resistance, the connection between thyroid conditions and leptin resistance, dietary recommendations, the use of supplements, and more. Enjoy the episode!
