Appetite: Ghrelin and Leptin Explained

[@KenDBerryMD]

This is a great simplified version what these 2 very important, very complicated hormones do. Good job.

[@Paul-hl5ls]

How would someone test for leptin resistance. How is that treated?

[@Simbwaful]

Thank you not only for drawing this topic so clearly and breaking everything down, but also for the great learning tipps!

[@loricalass4068]

I can’t speak for anyone else’s experiences. Everyone’s body is different. But I saw a difference with LEPTIN overnight. I was less hungry. At the same time I was not tired. I think this will help me lose my final 12 pounds. And I think it will help with the food bill.

Hey guys. I misspelled APPETITE.

With leptin think of ‘lips.’ Imagine closing your lips when you are full and don’t want anymore food. Just another way to remember what leptins do.

[@gamegirl181]

very helpful video, especially regarding the mnemonic devices provided. but what i find really funny is that people in the medical field are often way too used to looking at things from the anatomical point of view so left becomes right and vice versa. i noticed it when he was presenting those two medical cases at the end of the video. this often happens to me too so it's nice to see i'm not the only one

[@CanIChangeThisWorld-lu1xl]

Very helpful and well done. Thank you!

Very good explained. Thanks.

[@hanknelson3231]

How to master these hormones by getting the benefits of both without the downside? Ghrelin produces HGH and IGF-1 which burns fat, but makes you extremely hungry and lethargic. Leptin is only stimulated by carbohydrates that make fat.

What happens to Ghrelin on long fasts? When I fast for 5 days my hunger completely goes away around the 36-48hrs in. What's inhibiting Ghrelin in that case.

[@PrettyXXEmpty]

Have you found the answer? I'm also having the same problem

[@Owsse]

i would assume it's ketogenic adaptation, when your blood sugar is stable, insulin is low and ketones have replaced the majority of your energy demands then hunger can be reduced/diminished until your fat stores and trash amino acids are starting to become scarcer. If you think about it, once you tap into your fat storage, your body enters a place where there's like 30-100 days of food in calories depending on if you are 10% or 30% bodyfat, why would it be hungry?

[@step_zero]

ketogenic diets have a large host of benefits as long as they are nutritionally well rounded and fasting is a great tool for hormonal balance + weight loss.

[@CarnivoreNana]

I try to do keto and have been successful but HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!! I have fasted from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch. Very much a struggle. Im hungry all the time and mentally have to say to myself...u ate already and it was enough. My stomach pains are many times worse than before I eat. Advise? Ive asked the dr but they dont know.

HINT: and HOW do you turn leptin ON in your body? take ZINC! i find that zinc gluconate is the best way to do this; I cut the zinc gluc 50mg pills in half (use a pill splitter its great) in a bunch and put them in little container, take 1 half pill in morning with food and 1 half pill with dinner. eat your MAIN meal (dinner type meal) at noon time, then at 5/6 pm have a very light meal, ie mostly veggies, bit of starch, bit of meat, about 1/4 of what u wd normally have. no sugar, coffee, alcohol they destroy your program and your body. works great.

[@ricardodelacruz231]

Great!!!!

[@onecompass7290]

I have this malady. I am never 'hungry'. It's not about 'appetite'. These words are misleading. I wish they could be replaced with 'metabolic drive and causation' or something of the sort. What I experience is a constant subconscious drive/urge to eat that is driven by the imbalance. Behavior should be replaced with the word 'outcome' etc. Let's frame it correctly and take out any hint at individual person driven decision making. If your body tells you that you are cold you put on a sweater, if your body tells you that your are 'starving' you eat.

[@rubyjain5585]

[@UuuuHjbbhnn]

What if your leptin is too low

[@Recon777x]

So if fat produces leptin, why don't we feel satisfied if we're fat? What is the mechanism that prevents fat from suppressing appetite? Because quite obviously, fat people still get ravenous, making the problem worse.

[@step_zero]

Obesity is a complex disease and likely the hormone response baseline is adjusted in obese people so hormones do not function as they should

[@elijahgavin6706]

Doesn’t obesity often correlate with insulin resistance, and insulin stimulates leptin?

[@myyoutubechannel3161]

What If the grehlin hormones in the stomach are not being produced or simply put, you have no appetite ? Or you have No desire to eat

[@euma5285]

Why is it sounding like I need to have brain surgery to finally lose weight?🤕

[@deezeed2817]

I fixed it through fasting. People with obesity aren't Leptin sensitive. I would do 48 fasts and then eat one meal a day and gradually as my weight came down i found i couldn't eat the same amount as before. This is why obese people cannot lose weight. The Leptin doesn't work properly because obesity is like a disease that screws all your hormones up. Cutting out sugar also helps. So much of our health problems come from too much sugar.

[@Itzbrady_]

@@deezeed2817 I agree. Rolling 48's an keepin the carbs low upon refeed to work pretty amazing :D

[@gardensofthegods]

@@deezeed2817 you might want to look into something that is dirt cheap that has been used for thousands of years and you don't need a prescription ... do you know about methi powder ... it is fenugreek seeds . And India and that part of the world they have used it for thousands of years as a treatment for diabetes and it balances the hormones for both men and women . The only problem is it does taste very bitter . You usually can get it at almost any Indian Grocers ... just mix with water or juice and drink it

No boxed meals nothing like that but I can finish a meal be hurting full and then walk in the other room and want to grab something else to eat. Anybody know a way to stop that?

[@panav7723]

anyone the citation for the mouse model experiment?

[@nixland]

So how can you explain about lots of my friends that are lean till age 30 and then get obese and fat after that?

[@kneetotheface]

nixland ur friends are getting older and past their prime in regards to their metabolism but they still input calories in a ratio that causes weight gain. time is a sonofabitch.

[@callacartaxi3741]

many reasons, skeletal muscle decrease, due to lack of use, NAFL, excess carb consumption, excess omega 6 FFA and carb consumption combined with lack of sleep, lack of rest, excess fructose consumption. poor lifestyle habits take tears to manifest in obesity and metabolic derangement

[@chrisdion3260]

There's a good chance they've been having too much sugar in carbs up until that point and they have finally hit a Tipping Point on insulin resistance which has now made it so that they are not only resistant to insulin but also resistant to the effect of leptin. do some research on insulin resistance here on KZbin and you'll find some amazing stuff.

[@trustenbaker8766]

Well why would I be hungry with bloating? I mean I just ate like an hour ago. I'm scared to eat anymore because I found myself at the ER this morning with painful distension. They did cat scan and other stuff, blood work and all that stuff. Far as they can tell nothing is really wrong. I'm seeing a GI on Tuesday, but........well I was scared to eat what I did today earlier. But I feel hungry as hell. I'm a pretty slim guy not fat or anything. Well anyways you may not obviously know these answers. I'm hungry but scared to really eat again.

[@step_zero]

If I was you I would eat something small and see how I feel after. Staying well-hydrated can also help. Hope you are ok and able to see your GI soon.

[@jonnyfranco7]

this makes sense because when i started fasting is when i started yoyoing

[@abrorakhmedov7389]

i have a daughter she had -Enterocolitis problems since 1 year old she is 4 now 😢 so we had to do diet after doing diet she is ok now not vomiting or bad breath but shes feels hungry all the time do you think this is because she is eating fat free foods diet food, as long as i know fat will help to produce laptin, i have taken to doctors, unfortunately, they could not give any decent answer so im doing my own reasearch, i'm thinking may be to give litlle lamb fat after meal so body can get laptin produced ? if anyone can help with this health issue i would be happy as a father. also we have gave blood for vitamin analysys doctrs said it's in the norm level.

[@step_zero]

You can try an elimination diet intriducing foods one by one and seeing what she is sensitive too. Hormone levels also change with age so this may improve with time.Foods higher in protein and fats and fiber are more filling and can produce satiety if that is what you are looking for. It is good you are doing your own research and getting informed but please double check information you get form online forums.

[@danielpincus221]

How does insulin interfere with leptin reaching the brain?

[@step_zero]

not sure sorry

[@George-bq9wv]

it's synergistic effect , by inhibiting the AGRP/NPY leptin receptor , and stimulate the POMC and CART leptin receptors so we decrease food intake. you can also add CCK along with them.

Go to your doctor. They will likely test your thyroid, and do a blood test. Getting regular checkups is important. As for your mental health your best bet is joining some sort of team or club with people that have similar interests, oh and exercise helps correct hormonal balance which will help you feel better. Hope this helps.
