WEIGHT STRUGGLES? ROOT CAUSE MAY BE IN THE GUT & BRAIN

October 05, 2020

Do you STRUGGLE with your WEIGHT?

If so, you may be struggling with RESISTANCE to appetite hormones in the gut and brain.

Appetite hormones impact appetite, hunger, cravings and weight.

LEPTIN is an appetite hormone produced by fat cells. The amount of leptin in a person is proportionate to their body fat. Leptin works to suppress appetite in the brain.

LEPTIN RESISTANCE = INCREASED HUNGER + DECREASED METABOLISM + INFLAMMATION = WEIGHT STRUGGLES

THE GOOD NEWS?!

Eating HEALTHY FOODS that are high in anti-inflammatory antioxidants and omega-3 fats can IMPROVE LEPTIN RESISTANCE!!
