Do you really understand what your body is saying when it comes to hunger and satiety? It's more complex than you might think, especially if you're managing PCOS. We're breaking down leptin resistance, a hormone intricately linked to our satiety signals. If you've ever wondered why you still feel hungry even after eating a satisfying meal, leptin resistance might be the culprit. With insights into the biological and emotional factors contributing to this disconnect, we're unraveling the mysteries of our relationship with food.

Intuitive eating sounds simple in theory, but for those with PCOS, it can be a minefield. Ever felt like your body is leading you astray, guiding you to consume copious amounts of sugar, starch, and fats? You're not alone. We're exploring the primal brain programming and potential genetic factors that make overeating feel inevitable for many with PCOS. Understanding these signals and influences can be the first step in regaining control over your food choices.

In the quest to eat more mindfully, understanding leptin resistance is key. But how do you improve your sensitivity to these crucial satiety signals? We've got practical advice for you, from slowing down during meals to avoid overeating, to managing cravings and choosing foods that support your individual needs. This isn't about strict rules - it's about flexibility and developing a healthier relationship with food.
