Our hormones coordinate many different functions in our body and control everything from our metabolism to our sexual function, circadian rhythms, and mood. These chemical messengers also play a big role when it comes to our appetites.


In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about two lesser-known hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which you may not have heard of before but that have a direct impact on our body and health.
