Episode 4: Poor Appetite, Leptin vs. Ghrelin, and Turkey Tacos 

The most read headline of an RD's career? Poor appetite persists. Today we discuss physiology of poor appetite, possible interventions, and the sometimes hungry hormone team of Leptin and Ghrelin. 

We also practice an RD exam question about poor appetite. 

1. An obese patient reports they graze on meals and snacks throughout the day and are never hungry before meals. Which of the following would describe their hormone balance? 

  • High leptin/High Ghrelin
  • High Leptin/Low Ghrelin
  • Low Leptin High Grelin
  • Low Leptin/Low Ghrelin
  • We lastly finish with my quest for perfecting a tasty ground turkey taco. Listen in.
