#043 Leptin, Leptin Resistance, and Fiber Intake, Why It Matters, and Health Benefits if Adding It In

Today, I am chatting about all things leptin, what it is, what it does in the body, what part of the body receives its "signal", and what can block it! Also, what happens when this signal gets inhibited and how to fix it.We also talk about the pleasure/reward balance from food; how leptin and insulin can be the most amazing regulators in a balanced system for this for appetite control, and how it can be our worst enemy when out of balance promoting a biochemical addiction to quick energy foods, and of course - how to bring balance to the system with these two hormones. I then go into all things fiber, the two types of fiber we need to incorporate more of, and how it is VITAL that we get our fiber from whole food sources for the most impact. I go into everything from hoeing with hormone balance, blood sugar balance, as well as balance in the microbiome and nutrient diversity when we include plenty if dietary fiber in our daily diets.For more on these things and SO much more, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd.For more info on becoming a client, start here. Thank you so much for being here!-Dr. StacyThis information is just that; information only - not to be taken as medical advice.
