In 1994, medical medicine found a major hormone that they previously didn’t know existed. But it wasn’t just another hormone, it was the commander of all hormones which supervises mostly every activity of the brain’s hypothalamus gland. The name of hormone is “leptin” and it was found in our fat cells. Its functions impact our emotions, moods, food cravings asics gel nimbus 17 soldes , and metabolism. For leptin, survival of the body is key, and everything else takes a second chair.
Big Pharma has yet to produce a drug that can positively affect leptin function. Diet is the only thing that can do this. And so, hardly anything about this major hormone is imparted in medical schools or discussed in the media, despite its major role in our physiology. Its activities throughout your body are mutually intricate and comprehensive. It normalizes the endocrine system, the nervous system, the metabolism asics gel mai soldes , and even has role in extending your life.
When the body depends on sugar for energy, it hinders the normal activities of leptin, the chief of the hormonal chain of command. Leptin is in charge of your pituitary hormones, which regulate the thyroid gland. The functions of the thyroid gland is to determine how quickly the body accesses energy. If you are chronically fatigued or are cold all the time, it is probably going to be thyroid related.
The thyroid is also accountable for detoxifying the body, flushing out impurities such as fluoride, chlorine asics gel kinsei 6 soldes , mercury, aluminum, pesticides, and other harmful toxins that we ingest from the water, air, vaccines, dental fillings asics gel kayano trainer soldes , and our diet. If the thyroid isn’t functioning at full potential, these toxins amass in our cells and joints, causing chronic pain illnesses such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.
The hormone leptin decides when to make us hungry, and, therefore, controls our metabolism. It works harmoniously with insulin, which abnormalizes when leptin levels become too high or too low. If we are a carbivore asics gel kayano 23 soldes , we will probably begin to get hungry around two to three hours after we eat. From an evolutionary viewpoint, that’s insane. Nature (divine intelligence) is simply not that stupid.
Often going days on end without meals, our prehistoric ancestors would have starved to death if they had to rely on carboyhdrates for energy. But because they depended on fat-based ketones, the leptin hormone in their bodies were able to make their metabolism much more efficient than that of the modern human. And so, they could go for considerably longer periods of time without being hungry. This allowed for a markedly lower dietary caloric intake. And so, obesity was nonexistent.
Leptin also orchestrates our parasympathetic, fight or flight response in the nervous system. Until your leptin levels are balanced asics gel ds trainer soldes , you will consistently be in a state of panic because you will be physiologically reacting to everything. There won’t be any saber-toothed tigers to be concerned about, but, nevertheless, you will be behaving as if there were. Chronic anxiety over a period of months and years can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. All of this is leptin-related.
The Leptin Diet is not merely another weight loss diet.It is a cutting-edge awareness of our genetic physiology and the role that hormonal balance plays in physical and mental performance and a state of overall health.
