What is Leptin?
Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells in white adipose tissue. Leptin is a master hormone and sends a signal to the hypothalamus in the brain to let it know how much fat is to be stored. It controls our hunger and feelings of satiety.
What is Leptin’s Role?
Leptin has a major role in determining many aspects of our health such as:- thyroid function, inflammation, insulin, heart health, adrenal function, reproductive and hormone health, immune function, cancer, stress, bone health and more.
However, health problems can develop when leptin levels are unbalanced within the body. But what exactly affects our leptin levels?
Factors that Contribute to Leptin Resistance
Leptin resistance is a complex issue with no singular cause, but there are many factors that can negatively impact leptin levels including:
The following combination results in increased leptin levels in our bodies
When a person is not in balance then their brain doesn’t sense leptin levels correctly, which builds up a resistance to the hormone. Almost all overweight people have HIGH leptin levels.
When these overweight people have difficulty controlling what they eat and how much of it, it’s because their body is insulin resistant and their brain is leptin resistant. There are too many of these hormones circulating, but they are not productive. Basically the brain thinks there is not enough fat in storage, it thinks it’s in starvation mode because leptin is not being detected by the brain, and continues to fill fat cells with fuel resulting in excess fat in the body.
But what is the best way to fix unbalanced leptin levels?
How to Fix Leptin
The FLP allows you to lower your leptin levels and regain leptin sensitivity, this way leptin can begin to do its job of turning off the hunger switch and turn on the fat burning switch. Please know that the FLP isn’t a ‘cure’, it may take up to 6 months or more with a strict real food diet, one that eliminates all inflammatory foods (processed, refined foods and chemicals etc). The FLP can definitely short track this process and aid in changing the leptin resistance to leptin sensitivity over a matter of time (if followed correctly).
Once you have regained your leptin sensitivity this is what you can experience;
Food is one of the most powerful ways to change from being leptin resistant to leptin sensitive, there are no drugs needed, just good quality foods that our body has evolved to eat. The FLP is an education protocol about your individual body, where you will learn what foods will or will not cause you to go back to leptin resistance, create inflammation and other negative health symptoms.
If you don’t do the Phase 4 properly and learn the lessons, and you’re not prepared to make the changes to optimise your health, then you’ll be in a downward health spiral back to sugar cravings, weight gain, headaches, aches, pains, mood issues, lethargy, digestive issues, hormonal issues and so on. This protocol is about learning which foods build up your health, and which foods take it away. It’s also about making positive changes for the rest of your life, not just for 3-4 weeks. All you have to do is make the required food changes and see and enjoy the abundant health.
