Never heard of leptin before? It’s alright as you’re not the only one. This hormone is less known despite being responsible for so much in our body. It is also known as the “Obesity or Fat Hormone”
Some of what Leptin does includes:
- regulate bone mass,
- regulate the menstrual cycle,
- synthesis thyroid hormones,
- suppress appetite
- aids metabolism
And this is just scratching the surface.
When our body operates the way it is supposed to, as a well-oiled machine, leptin would be produced by your body’s fat cells and communicate with the hypothalamus (in our brain) via the bloodstream.
The amount of leptin produced would determine whether the body stores fat or loses it, A minor increase in leptin concentration reduces the appetite and leads to a decrease in body weight. This is how things are supposed to work: a high level of leptin in the body informs your brain that there is enough fat stored.
Your body knows that you are not starving—you will survive – and so your appetite is switched off and you burn more fat.
Similarly, if your body fat were to decrease, leptin should follow suit and diminish, signalling to your brain to stop burning fat—to store the fat you have—to increase your appetite and prompt you to eat.
So proper functioning of your body uses leptin hormone to either store or burn the fat in your body.
This is how things are supposed to function. But what happens when something interrupts the balance which our body is meant to keep?
That’s when leptin resistance occurs and we store more fat and gain weight. This leptin resistance is the reason for our fruitless (yet well-intentioned) attempts to take control of our health and body. Once you are leptin resistant you won’t lose the weight no matter how little you eat or how much exercise you do.
Thankfully, there is a way out. Your life doesn’t need to be ruled by leptin resistance, there is something you can do. Real results. Real science. No wishing for the best. And this is where we come in.
A product called Leptitox may help. It is a ground-breaking supplement program that addresses the root cause and breaks the devastating cycle of weight gain once and for all.
