Are you Leptin resistant? What you need to know

What is leptin resistance?

Increased appetite and weight gain result from the brain's inability to respond to the hormone leptin, which controls hunger and energy balance.

Connection to obesity and health problems

This disorder increases the risk of chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems and is linked to inflammation brought on by obesity.

Causes and triggers

By raising systemic inflammation, factors such as stress, lack of sleep, and eating processed foods can exacerbate leptin resistance.

Effect on hunger and weight gain

Individuals with leptin resistance experience persistent hunger, which causes them to overeat and struggle to control their weight.

How to manage leptin resistance

Leptin sensitivity can be regulated with a protein-rich diet, frequent exercise, a balanced diet, and 8 to 9 hours of good sleep.
