What is Leptin? Explained By Dr.Berg

Leptin is the key to feeling full and satisfied. Take a look.

hey guys I’m going to talk about leptin there’s  a lot of confusion on what leptin is they think they maybe could take into supplement it’s going  to help them this way let’s just kind of give you the basics of what it is leptin is a hormone  okay that’s a it’s a particle in your body that’s produced by various tissues or glands in this case  is produced by a fat cell that sends a signal to the blood telling the body to do certain things so  leptin is this satiety hormone it’s the message of leptin is stop eating unsatisfied okay so let me  ask you a question are you hungry right now do you get cravings do you feel like you’re satisfied  easily well it could be because your leptin is too low so let’s kind of cover what that means so  your fat cells make leptin okay the more fat you have the higher level of leptin you should have  okay so if someone’s really fat they should have a lot of leptin and not be hungry but that’s not  the case so what happens with this hormone is that they have so much left in being pushed out and  pumped out from the fat cell which is abnormal that the receptors that receive that leptin start  resisting left in so it’s very similar to insulin resistance in that you have high levels of hormone  communication that go into the receptor and the Septor protects itself by downgrading so in a case  with insulin resistance you have certain parts of value that we have high insulin and other parts  we have very low insulin same thing with left him so very overweight people have a situation where  they have a lot of leptin but it’s unavailable to their body and that means they’re going to  be hungry most the time so here they have this huge fat fat supply storage system but they’re  always hungry they’re like they’re starving and so when people say that oh yeah it’s easy to  lose weight just you know have willpower well hormone only this is going to really force you  to eat because your hormones are completely out of whack it’s not just as easy as saying I’m  just not going to eat anymore so the point is that the whole theory of low willpower causing  weight gain is is not true especially when you get into leptin it’s part of the reward system of  the body so people feel like I don’t know if this ever happened to you where you feel like you have  to reward yourself as food right well that’s part of this whole leptin thing it’s just it’s like a  it’s like a it’s part of the center of the brain which actually has pleasure and it’s also part of  the brain that’s stimulated by certain drugs that give you pleasure and the whole thing but here’s  the thing here’s what you have to do you have to follow the the rules on insulin in that you want  to keep your insulin low and I’m going to put a link down below if you’ve never watched my videos  on how to do that because that’s the fastest way to lose fat because the solution to this is  to get rid of your fat to make it easier to heal the leptin to the point where your leptin  resistance can go away and you can have normal leptin so your cravings will go away I think the  best thing to eat to satisfy you in the meantime would be actual fat at the meal so I’m going to  put a link down below most of you watching have already seen those videos but if you haven’t  you can click down below to how to heal the system to actually get rid of cravings but you  know Lipton is kind of a secondary hormone and that’s why I haven’t really done any videos  on it it’s not something you can trigger with taking a food and the supplements that people  take it’s a joke they don’t really work because by the time first of all I don’t believe that  there’s actual leptin in a supplement that you buy at the over the amazon. com and I also even if  it was a hormone it be digested by the stomach unless it was injected through the protein  so that’s not going to happen so the real solution is to just understand what it does and  then focus on reducing insulin get the fat off this will heal the cravings will get better as  well thanks for watching hey guys thank you so much for watching please click the subscribe  button and I will see you in the next video
