In today’s episode, Dr. Jockers talks about the two, often under-scrutinized hormones that are majorly responsible for fat and weight management – insulin and leptin. He explains why too much sensitivity is bad for one's health and how to keep these hormones in check. He also shares his go-to foods and food ingredients that support blood sugar levels and dial down disruptive sensitivities.  

 

“We need leptin sensitivity if we want to have insulin sensitivity.”

- Dr. David Jockers
