Does Low Leptin Doom Dieting?

The drug industry is doing everything in its power to get leptin drugs on the market for some type of widespread weight-loss angle. The problem is that such drugs don’t work, because just about everyone who is overweight makes too much leptin. This was apparent back in 2002 when there were only 5000 leptin studies, now there are 14,000. Consumer beware – researchers paid by Big Pharma are actively and intentionally creating a twisted misrepresentation relating to how leptin works, solely to sell drugs.

How Leptin Problems Raise Blood Pressure

Leptin registering in your brain is fully responsible for your metabolic go signal. If leptin does not register properly then your brain thinks there is a food shortage and you may be starving. Unfortunately, most overweight people have way too much leptin in their blood (leptin resistance) and not enough leptin getting into their brain and registering properly (a false state of perceived starvation). This unfortunate state poses numerous problems to your circulatory system and your risk for heart disease. The latest study on this subject explains what has been learned in the past decade and how leptin problems cause high blood pressure and eventual cardiovascular damage.

How Poor Maternal Nutrition Causes Later Life Obesity

Children born to malnourished mothers, often reflected in low birth weight, have multiple health challenges facing them in the future, including an increased risk for obesity. A new study shows that malnourishment in the womb messes up leptin circuitry in the brain following birth, leading to a future adult who “needs” to overeat in order to get a full signal.

DHA Protects Against the Metabolic Flu of Obesity

A study in overweight Eskimos, who consumed about 20 times the amount of DHA as the junk food Western diet of most Americans, found that even though they were overweight they had fewer signs indicating metabolic disease and risk for cardiovascular problems. The best way to interpret this study is that if you are overweight, you should load up on DHA while you get headed in the right direction. Doing so can help hold off some of the otherwise inevitable health challenges you may face.

Snacking Associated With Increased Rates of Injury, Stress & Cognitive Malfunction

A new study of 800 nurses found that those who snacked had higher stress, more cognitive failures at work, and more injuries outside of work.

Dawn of the New Leptin Era

A decade ago I recognized the extreme importance of leptin to human health. Leptin is the king of hormones which impacts everything else in your body. My first book on the subject in 2002, Mastering Leptin, was the first translation of highly complex science into readable English for the general public – specifically addressing how to eat to be in harmony with leptin. This subject continues to evolve at a breakneck pace and is a shining beacon of hope for true health improvement, maintaining a vibrant quality of health, and extending lifespan. The newly understood role of leptin in your brain is both sobering and exciting. It is sobering because of the millions of people, even newborn children, with leptin-related health-deteriorating problems in full swing. It is exciting because knowledge and consistent correct actions offer a true path of solution away from disease and towards health.

Diet Soda Proves Fattening When Put to the Test

I have explained for many years that there are sweet-related leptin receptors on your tongue. When you eat something sweet this system of communication goes directly to your brain and activates metabolism to help deal with calories coming in. When the calories are absent your metabolism gets confused and you eat more food later.

Fiber, Fish Oil & Exercise Boost Adiponectin

Adiponectin, like leptin, is a hormone secreted from your white adipose tissue. It is a powerful hormone that regulates insulin function and reduces inflammation in your circulatory system. As your weight goes up your adiponectin goes down, making you more at risk for insulin resistance, continued weight gain, risk for type 2 diabetes, and increased amounts of cardiovascular inflammation. While a variety of nutrients have been shown to support healthy levels of adiponectin, a new study points out that the basics of increased fiber, fish oil intake, and regular exercise all help raise your adiponectin levels.

Unclog Your Liver & Lose Abdominal Fat – Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge #6

Your liver plays a central role in the metabolism of any type of calorie. During weight gain your liver is being punched in the nose by inflammatory metabolic flu signals coming from your white adipose tissue (stored fat) and your digestive tract (bacterial imbalance, LPS, Candida, etc.). At the same time, your white adipose tissue is unable to store fat fast enough, turning to the primary backup location for fat storage – your liver. Now your liver gets clogged with excess fat, metabolism becomes even more strained, your waistline expands, and you are at risk for developing far more serious health problems.
