Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

CHAPTER

Understanding Leptin, Hormones, and Weight Regulation

The chapter explores the pivotal role of leptin in controlling body weight and fertility, interacting with the brain's hypothalamus to gauge energy reserves and fat levels. It discusses factors like insulin and light exposure disrupting this balance, leading to weight loss resistance and cravings, akin to a broken fuel gauge in a car. Emphasizing the impact of light exposure on hormone balance, the conversation stresses the importance of optimizing morning light exposure, proper meal timing, and circadian rhythms for overall health and weight management.
