Ever feel “starving” an hour after eating? Or find yourself staring into the fridge even though you just had dinner? I’ve been there—and it’s not about willpower. It’s about hormones.

In this video, I break down the real drivers of appetite—ghrelin (the grumbler), leptin (the fullness whisperer), and insulin (the gatekeeper)—and how they get scrambled in insulin resistance. More importantly, I’ll show you how something as simple as fiber can help reset those signals and bring clarity back to your hunger.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why your cravings might not be coming from your stomach at all

✅ How fiber acts like “hormone therapy” for your appetite

✅ A tiny micro-habit you can start today to quiet hunger and stabilize energy

This isn’t about shame or willpower—it’s about understanding your body’s script and giving it what it needs to finally feel satisfied.

🔔 Don’t miss the next video: B is for Blood Sugar Basics—where I’ll break down what blood sugar really is and why timing matters as much as food choices.
