Podcasts about Ghrelin

Most of us eat by the clock, not by hunger. In this episode, I break down the difference between real physiological hunger and the cravings, habits, and schedules that drive most of our eating decisions — and why that distinction matters more than any diet. I share what happened when I skipped breakfast before a photo shoot in Miami, how ghrelin trains itself to your schedule, and why fasting for a day might be the simplest recalibration tool you're not using. If you can't skip a meal without falling apart, your metabolic flexibility needs work. This episode is about fixing that — no supplements, no apps, no cost. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva! Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since. I encourage you to consider trading your sneakers or training shoes for a pair of Peluvas, and then watch the health of your feet and lower back improve while reducing your risk of injury.  To learn more about why I love Peluva barefoot shoes, check out my in-depth review: https://michaelkummer.com/health/peluva-review/  And use code MICHAEL to get 10% off your first pair: https://michaelkummer.com/go/peluva  In this episode: 00:00 Intro 01:53 Miami breakfast decision 03:02 Ghrelin and cravings 07:24 Skip meals benefits 10:08 24-hour fast calibration 11:44 Stress hunger waves 13:32 Protein fat safety net 15:07 Eat to true hunger 17:13 Final thoughts Find me on social media for more health and wellness content: Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelKummer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primalshiftpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/michaelkummer/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/mkummer82 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmichaelkummer/ [Medical Disclaimer] The information shared on this video is for educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or registered dietitians (which I am not) and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.

The diet world just picked another champion. This time it's intermittent fasting. The case for it is real, and so is the 38% dropout rate. This episode looks at what the data shows about both approaches, what the neuroscience says about where sustainable fat loss lives, and what question every protocol conversation is actually trying to ask. In This Episode: 1. The debate is a setup. Comparing protocols means staying inside the diet industry's frame. The tool isn't the problem. The relationship underneath it is. 2. Intermittent fasting works for one reason: total calorie reduction. Clinical trials confirm real results and a 38% dropout rate, higher than participants who cut calories with no time-based structure at all.3. The body reads a fasting window as a starvation signal. Cortisol rises. Ghrelin surges. When the eating window opens on a system flooded with hunger chemistry, control doesn't just get harder. Biology takes over. The body is running exactly the software it was designed to run. 4. Years of restriction damage the one skill mindful eating depends on. Interoception: the ability to feel hunger and fullness accurately. Every rule followed in place of an internal signal trains us further from our own bodies. Mindful eating's job is to recalibrate the compass that dieting broke. 5. The neuroscience is direct. Mindful eating doesn't manage cravings from above. It changes the wiring below. Neuroimaging shows it physically quiets the brain's reward pathway and strengthens the circuits where deliberate choice lives. The food noise gets quieter because the brain has changed its response to the signal. 6. Every conversation about fat loss eventually arrives at the same question. Not which protocol to follow. Who do you want to be in relationship with food? The thermostat is always an identity question. Mindful eating works at that level. Everything else reaches around it. Ready to go deeper? If this one landed, the next step isn't another protocol. It's a different target entirely. Escape the Willpower Trap is where we do this work, changing the relationship with food, not the meal schedule. The quiet mind is waiting.

Inside the venom of a desert lizard, scientists found a molecule that does something the diet industry spent 50 years failing to do. It quietly switches off hunger. That molecule is now the most talked about drug on the planet, and it's sitting in the fridges of millions of people who couldn't explain how it works if you paid them.Dr Tom Buckley, 30 years in medicine and a professor at Sydney University, has looked at the evidence and called these drugs revolutionary.But what about "Ozempic face"?

Discover why hormones are off and what's really driving the imbalance. In this episode, we break down five root causes — from gut dysfunction and disrupted sleep to chronic stress, appetite dysregulation, and omega-3 deficiency — and walk through what you can actually do to fix it. FEATURED PRODUCT Berberine is a powerful botanical compound that acts as a natural GLP-1 supporter — the same metabolic pathway targeted by medications like Ozempic — helping regulate blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance, and restore appetite signaling from the gut. Since metabolic hormones like insulin and leptin are the first to derail your entire hormone cascade, Berberine directly addresses one of the deepest root causes discussed in this episode. It also supports gut microbiome diversity, making it a foundational tool for anyone working to reclaim hormonal balance naturally.

Forget muscle repair. The reason sleep actually transforms your health is happening inside your skull every night — and it's not what Matthew Walker's TED Talk made famous. In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD breaks down the real science of sleep: the glymphatic system that flushes beta-amyloid from your brain, the hippocampal "sharp wave ripples" that lock in memories, the slow-wave growth hormone pulse you can't make up, and the testosterone and insulin damage that happens in a single week of short sleep. He closes with the single most evidence-based intervention you can do tonight — and it's not melatonin. CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Why The "Sleep For Muscle Repair" Story Is Wrong 01:00 — Part 1: The Muscle Repair Myth (mTOR, Protein Synthesis, 24–48hr Window) 02:00 — Part 2: The Molecular Truth — The Glymphatic System 02:35 — The 60% Brain Cleaning Cycle (Xie 2013, Beta-Amyloid Clearance) 03:30 — Sharp Wave Ripples and Memory Consolidation in Deep Sleep 03:55 — How Sleep Onset Drives 70% of Your Nightly Growth Hormone 04:30 — Sleep Restriction Drops Testosterone 10–15% in One Week 05:00 — Part 3: The Hormonal Layer — Insulin, Cortisol, Ghrelin 05:15 — 4 Nights, 4 Hours: Prediabetes In Healthy Young Men (Spiegel 1999) 06:30 — Ghrelin, Leptin, and Why You Wake Up Hungrier 07:00 — Part 4: The Practical Tactic — Thermal Regulation 07:30 — The 2–3°F Core Temperature Drop That Triggers Sleep 08:00 — Why a Hot Shower 90 Minutes Before Bed Beats Melatonin 08:45 — The 65–68°F Bedroom Rule 09:15 — Part 5: The Reframe — Sleep Is Neurological, Not Muscular KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Muscle protein synthesis runs 24–48 hours post-workout and does not require sleep architecture — it requires amino acids, energy, and time. • During sleep, your brain's interstitial space expands ~60% to flush metabolic waste, including the beta-amyloid and tau proteins implicated in Alzheimer's. • ~70% of your daily growth hormone is released in the first slow-wave cycle — disrupt the first 90 minutes and you blunt the whole night. • Four nights of 4-hour sleep produced prediabetes-level insulin resistance in healthy young men (Spiegel et al., Lancet 1999). • A hot bath or shower 60–90 minutes before bed shortens sleep latency more reliably than melatonin (Haghayegh et al., Sleep Medicine Reviews 2019). Pair with a 65–68°F bedroom.

On this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Chris Lustrino speaks with Dr. Michael Wyand, CEO of Oxeia Biopharma, a clinical-stage biotech company developing a potential breakthrough treatment for concussions and persistent concussion symptoms. Oxeia is leveraging ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone involved in brain energy regulation and neural repair, to help heal the inflammation and cellular damage caused by traumatic brain injuries. With promising Phase 2a data showing an 85% responder rate among treated patients, the company is pursuing what could become the first FDA-approved pharmaceutical treatment specifically targeting concussion recovery. Chris and Michael discuss the science behind concussions, how brain damage occurs after impact, why “just rest” has remained the standard of care for decades, and how Oxeia's therapy could fundamentally change the treatment landscape for athletes, veterans, and millions of patients suffering from lingering neurological symptoms. They also dive into the company's clinical pathway, the business opportunity behind concussion therapeutics, the role of neurogenesis in recovery, and the broader future potential for treating conditions like CTE, Parkinson's disease, and ALS. If you want to understand the future of concussion recovery, brain health innovation, and biotech investing, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

There's SO much information about wellness hacks, it's hard to know what's worth trying. And then there are pharmaceuticals like GLP-1 medications that seem like the magic bullet for metabolic health. With all of these, are we setting ourselves up for the next public health crisis? Before you or someone you love considers a pharmaceutical or biohack, listen to this episode. Jenn Trepeck of Salad with a Side of Fries breaks down why the wellness industry deserves more credit than mainstream media gives it, and why pharmaceutical solutions like GLP-1 medications and statins cannot carry the full weight of America's health crisis. From affordable, healthy eating strategies to the alarming long-term risks of overreliance on a single hormone pathway, Jenn makes a compelling, research-backed case for a more comprehensive approach to metabolic health. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why GLP-1 medications may be following the same trajectory as statin drugs, and what that historical pattern reveals about where we are headed with metabolic health and long-term outcomes.✅ How eating in season and shopping at ethnic grocery stores can make whole foods nutrition genuinely affordable, healthy eating for more people, regardless of income level.✅ The critical connection between reduced food intake on GLP-1 medications, nutrient deficiency, and the alarming rise of osteoporosis and cancer risk, especially for younger populations and children.✅ Why fat cell memory and the Minnesota Starvation Experiment both reveal that weight loss without lifestyle medicine and nutritional education is unlikely to produce lasting results.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why mainstream media voices unfairly dismiss the wellness industry05:50 A critique of how major journalists cover GLP-1 medications without consulting balanced sources or opposing viewpoints13:33 The argument that pharmaceutical solutions have become the default answer instead of addressing the root causes of metabolic health issues22:29 Discussion of income, access, and why processed foods are cheaper than whole foods nutrition is a structural public health failure30:37 Practical tips for affordable healthy eating, including seasonal eating and shopping at ethnic grocery stores for better quality produce34:39 The GLP-1 conversation begins in earnest, with Jenn explaining why she calls them our generation's statin drug37:02 A deep dive into statin drug statistics, heart disease rates, and why more prescriptions have not produced better cardiovascular health outcomes41:14 Jenn outlines her predictions, including rising osteoporosis risk, bone density loss, and increased colorectal cancer risk tied to low fiber intake44:31 The role of fat cell memory, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, and why GLP-1 medications without lifestyle medicine will not produce lasting changeKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Warum du nie satt wirst: Dr. Pia Roser erklärt Hunger, Appetit, Hormone, Stress & GLP-1.

Warum nehmen wir nach Diäten oft wieder zu? Warum fühlt es sich manchmal so an, als würde der Körper gegen uns arbeiten? Und warum reicht das klassische Kalorienprinzip für viele Menschen einfach nicht aus? In dieser besonderen Folge teilt Isabell einen Ausschnitt aus einer Live-Session für unsere Kundinnen und Kunden. Es geht darum, warum der Jojo-Effekt biologisch völlig logisch ist – und wie du deinen Stoffwechsel so unterstützt, dass dein Körper wieder in Sicherheit kommt, statt in den Sparmodus zu gehen. Du erfährst: ✅ Warum dein Körper nach einer Diät Gewicht zurückfordert ✅ Was Hungerhormone, Leptin, Ghrelin und Schilddrüse damit zu tun haben ✅ Weshalb „Calories in, calories out“ zu kurz gedacht ist ✅ Warum nachhaltiges Abnehmen Sicherheit statt Stress braucht Unser Fazit: Kalorien spielen eine Rolle – aber sie sind nicht die ganze Wahrheit. Nachhaltiges Abnehmen funktioniert nicht über Hungern, Druck und Verzicht, sondern über einen gut versorgten Körper, stabile Hormone, einen aktiven Stoffwechsel und echte Stoffwechselgesundheit. Du möchtest gesund, nachhaltig und effektiv abnehmen – ohne Diätfrust und ohne Jojo-Effekt? Dann buch dir jetzt ein kostenfreies Erstgespräch mit uns – wir schauen gemeinsam, wie wir dich bestmöglich unterstützen können:

Gewichtsmanagement und Fettverbrennung, der große Rundumschlag: Wir reden über BMI, Fasten, Körperfettmessung, Schlaf, NEAT, Leptin, Ghrelin, Krafttraining und Zone 2, Keto, Protein, Prä- und Probiotika, Nüchterntraining, Koffein, Carnitin, exogene Ketone und natürlich Ozempic.

In dieser Folge spreche ich über ein Thema, das ich sowohl aus eigener Erfahrung als auch aus der täglichen Arbeit mit Klienten sehr gut kenne: die Diätspirale – und warum so viele Menschen das Gefühl haben, dauerhaft gegen ihren eigenen Körper anzukämpfen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Frage, was eigentlich passiert, wenn man immer wieder unter den eigenen Körperfett-Settling-Point diätet – also unter den Bereich, in dem der Körper biologisch gut funktioniert. Wir schauen uns an, was der Settling Point ist und warum er bei jedem Menschen anders liegt welche hormonellen Adaptionen bei wiederholten Diäten auftreten – von Leptin und Ghrelin bis hin zu Cortisol und Schilddrüsenhormonen warum Willenskraft allein langfristig keine Lösung ist, wenn die Biologie dagegen arbeitet welche Rolle Social Media bei der Verzerrung des eigenen Körperbildes spielt und wie du den Weg aus der Spirale findest, ohne deinem Körper dauerhaft zu schaden. Außerdem spreche ich über eigene Erfahrungen aus meinen Wettkampfdiäten und darüber, was ich bei Klienten immer wieder beobachte, die sich trotz guter Form nie wirklich wohlfühlen. Wenn du das Gefühl kennst, nie wirklich anzukommen – egal wie diszipliniert du bist – bekommst du in dieser Folge eine wissenschaftlich fundierte, aber praxisnahe Einordnung, was dahintersteckt und was du konkret ändern kannst.   Supplements: ► Maximal mögliche Rabatte mit dem Code "SMARTFITNESS" auf alle Supplements von www.esn.com & www.morenutrition.de!

They put AI CEOs on stage and somebody always asks: what do you tell your kids? Their kids are set. Trust funds stacked ten generations deep. Their kids are not checking insurance deductibles or wondering if the mortgage gets paid next month. That question is a mismatch. You are asking a billionaire to empathize with fears they have never felt.The people running these companies are not relatable. They are brilliant. They are also foreign to anyone living paycheck to paycheck. And foreign people making decisions about your future is unsettling no matter how many zeros are in their net worth.Meanwhile the federal government wants to override all state-level AI regulation and run one national framework. Universal basic income is back on the table. Elon floated "universal high income" which sounds more like a bumper sticker than a policy. And your social media algorithm is feeding you anger because anger drives engagement. That is not an accident. That is architecture.What if we pointed all of this compute at cancer? At longevity? At disease? What if every GPU went toward fixing the human body instead of generating entertainment content? That is the genie problem. You get the wish but you did not think the constraints through. AI is the most powerful genie in history and we have not agreed on what to ask for yet.Jason Fung just released The Hunger Code and named the three types of hunger that most of us have been fighting blind. True starvation hunger, which almost nobody experiences. Hedonic hunger, the dopamine pleasure response that makes processed food as addictive as hard drugs. And conditioned hunger, triggered by environment and social cues like mealtimes and holidays. Name the hunger. Tag it. Fight it. The addict who can identify the trigger has a chance. The addict who just says "I'm hungry" has already lost.Day 7 of Fast 3. Ghrelin comes in waves. It peaks around the times you normally ate. The wave hits, you feel like breaking, then it passes. Ride it or it rides you. Angus Barbieri fasted 382 days. I have done 14 and nearly killed myself on the refeed. When you break a fast, honor yourself enough not to blow it out. Bone broth. A couple eggs. Slow. The refeed is where you are most vulnerable.Caloric restriction is a lie. Cut your calories in half and your body adjusts its metabolism to match. When you go back to eating normally, you gain faster than before. Extended fasting bypasses the trap. Deplete the glycogen, switch to ketosis, let the body eat its own stored fuel. Metabolism goes up during fasting. Everything they told us was backwards.Youtube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Get 10% off:https://witsandweights.com/calocurb--Your body is fighting your fat loss, and it's not a willpower problem.When you diet, ghrelin spikes to make you hungrier, leptin crashes so your brain thinks you're starving, and GLP-1 drops so meals stop filling you up. Understanding these hunger hormones is the difference between white-knuckling through every deficit and actually working with your biology.In this episode, you'll learn the science behind the hormones controlling your appetite... not just the big three (ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1), but also lesser-known players like PYY, CCK, NPY, and amylin that you rarely hear about.Discover why fat loss gets harder the leaner you get, what causes metabolic adaptation at the hormonal level, and specific strategies to support satiety naturally through protein, fiber, meal timing, sleep, and stress management.Plus, stick around for the Hunger Wave Check protocol, a simple 15-minute tool to distinguish physical hunger from psychological hunger so you can stop reacting on autopilot and start understanding your own appetite signals.Timestamps:0:00 - Why fat loss feels harder the longer you diet 3:21 - Ghrelin: why this hunger hormone spikes during fat loss 7:06 - Leptin: how losing fat makes your brain think you're starving 13:42 - Natural GLP-1 upregulation to take the edge off your hunger 15:17 - GLP-1: the satiety hormone behind Ozempic and natural alternatives 20:31 - PYY, CCK, NPY, and amylin: the hormones nobody talks about 26:42 - Bonus: 15-minute protocol for hunger awarenessSupport the show

This episode is about discovering your current set point — where your body and mind are living right now with food, movement, sleep, stress, and beliefs about weight — and how it drives cravings, emotions, and overall health.I dive into the difference between the number on the scale and the emotional and psychological weight we carry daily. Your habits and your body's responses aren't failures — they're signals. Your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.1. What Is Your Set Point? Your set point is your current rhythm with:FoodMovementSleepStress…and the beliefs you hold about weight, cravings, and your body's ability to change. It dictates emotional, psychological, and physical weight — the state your body feels safe in, even if it's not where you want to be. Key insight: your body defaults to the known, even if it feels “not enough” or creates unwanted habits.2. The Problem with Perfectionism & Overdrive: Focusing on perfection, overachieving, or constant productivity leads to:Higher stressSpiking cortisolStronger sugar cravingsIntense emotional eating cycles3. Understanding the Hormonal Loop: Critical hormones controlling cravings and weight:Cortisol — rises under stress, triggers sugar cravings, keeps your body in protection mode.Insulin — storage hormone, holds fat when cortisol is high.Leptin — satiety hormone, signals fullness.Ghrelin — hunger hormone, signals when to eat.Takeaway: if hormones are unbalanced, dieting or willpower alone won't work. Resetting hormones is key to changing your set point.4. Protection Mode vs. Safety Mode: Your body isn't lazy or “rebelling” — it's in protection mode. Weight gain, cravings, and mindless eating are protective responses to stress. Even destructive habits feel safe. Instead of shaming yourself, thank your body for keeping you safe and learn to transition to safety mode.5. How to Reset Your Set Point:Focus on hormone regulation, not just weight lossMove your body in ways that feel safe and enjoyableNourish without restrictionHonor rest and recoveryShift beliefs about cravings and your body's ability to changeThis helps cravings normalize, appetite regulation improve, and weight release naturally — without forcing, restricting, or shaming yourself.6. Personal Story & Lessons Learned During high-stress periods of grief, perfectionism, and overwork, I experienced:Cortisol-driven sugar bingesLeptin resistance and insatiable cravingsFeeling powerless despite “doing everything right”My breakthrough: willpower alone can't override biology. Learning about the nervous system and hormones helped me reset my set point and transform my relationship with food, movement, and my body.TakeawaysSet point = where your body feels safe, not failureWeight is emotional, psychological, energetic, and physicalCravings and stress responses are biologically drivenResetting hormones and focusing on safety mode creates sustainable changeJournal PromptsWhat is my current set point with food, movement, sleep, and stress?What beliefs do I hold about weight, cravings, and my body's ability to change?When do I feel most in protection mode?How can I shift from perfectionism to safety and self-regulation?Closing Message: You are in the right place if you feel stuck or disconnected from your body. Your cravings, weight, and energy challenges are messages, not failures. By regulating hormones and moving safely, you can shift your set point, calm your nervous system, and release weight effortlessly over time.GET THE HORMONE RESET EBOOK now: https://sherryshaban.com/hormoneresetListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

In today's episode, I want to talk about something I see all the time with the women I coach — and it's one of the most misunderstood experiences around food.You notice that you're always hungry…Or you notice that no matter how much you eat, you never truly feel full or satisfied.At first, those sound like the same problem.But biologically, hormonally, and emotionally — they are very different.And when we can learn to tell the difference, we finally gain access to the tools that actually help us heal.Always Hungry vs. Never Satiated— Why This MattersI want you to tune into this distinction with curiosity, not judgment:Always feeling hungry is driven by your hunger hormone, ghrelinNever feeling satisfied is driven by your satiety hormone, leptinWhen these hormones are out of balance, it can feel like:You just ate, but you're still craving foodYou're physically full, yet you can't stop eatingFood occupies your thoughts constantlyYou feel disconnected from your body's signalsNothing is wrong with you.This is your nervous system and hormones communicating.Why Knowing What to Do Isn't the ProblemYou already know what to eat.You already know what you should be doing.The problem isn't information.The problem is that most eating behaviors are governed by the unconscious mind, not the conscious one.When stress, emotion, or overwhelm shows up, your conscious mind goes offline — and your unconscious mind runs the patterns it has learned. I call this the loop.That's why:Diets work temporarilyWillpower fails under stressYou feel like you're “on” or “off” the wagonThis isn't a motivation issue.It's a nervous system issue.Cortisol: The Hormone That Drives the CycleAt the center of this conversation is cortisol — your primary stress hormone.When cortisol is high:Sugar cravings increaseInsulin stays elevatedFat storage is prioritizedSleep becomes disruptedHunger and satiety signals become confusedWhen your body doesn't feel safe, it will always choose survival over satisfaction.And dieting — restriction, tracking, constant vigilance — raises cortisol.Ghrelin, Leptin & Why You Can't “Just Stop Eating”Ghrelin signals hunger when your stomach is empty.Leptin signals fullness from your fat cells.In a regulated system, they work in opposition.But under chronic stress, restriction, lack of sleep, or emotional overwhelm:Ghrelin stays elevatedLeptin signals stop being receivedYou develop leptin resistanceThis is why you can feel painfully full — and still keep eating.That's not lack of control.That's biology.Why Dieting Has Never Fixed the ProblemDieting focuses on the symptom — weight — instead of the cause.When you diet:Cortisol risesMetabolism slowsMuscle mass is lostHunger hormones increaseBinge-restrict cycles intensifyYour body only releases fat when it feels safe — not when it feels threatened.Fat loss is a side effect of regulation, not restriction.The Path Forward: Safety, Not ControlHealing begins when you:Stop outsourcing your wisdom to the scaleLearn to regulate your nervous systemAddress emotional triggers instead of suppressing themRebuild trust with your bodyThis is the work we do inside Make Peace With Food.And it's why this approach is different from everything you've tried before.You are not broken.Your body is communicating.And healing is possible.Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

The holidays are here, and while they are meant to be a time of joy and connection, they often bring along digital distraction, fear of overeating, and anxiety about the impending New Year.In this short and sweet episode, Andrés Preschel breaks down the three most important themes for navigating the holiday season intentionally. You'll learn how to optimize your physiology to enjoy family meals without the guilt, how to create a digital barrier to ensure you are truly present with your loved ones, and exactly how to execute a "Past Year Review" to set yourself up for massive success in the year ahead.Discover your science, optimize your life, and enjoy your holidays.In This Episode, You'll Learn:1. The Gift of Presence (Digital Detox Strategies)Why you should delete social media for the last week of the year (less than 2% of your life!).How to use "intervention" tools to break the dopamine loop and stop doom-scrolling.Tools mentioned: The One Sec app and Shift technology.2. Preventing Holiday Weight Gain (Without Dieting)How to enjoy potlucks and home-cooked meals without "dieting" or counting calories.The Pre-Meal Protein Primer: Consuming 20-30g of lean protein (Greek yogurt, whey, lean beef) 30–60 minutes before a meal to suppress Ghrelin and boost GLP-1 (satiety).Fiber & Bitters: Why eating handfuls of dark leafy greens (arugula, spinach) before your meal slows gastric emptying and reduces glucose spikes.Food Sequencing: The correct order to eat your food to manage insulin response (Fiber/Protein first, Carbs last).The Postprandial Stroll: How a 10–15 minute walk after dinner pulls glucose into the muscles without insulin.3. The "Past Year Review" (Strategic Planning)Why New Year's Resolutions often fail and what to do instead.A step-by-step guide to Tim Ferriss's Past Year Review exercise.How to use the 80/20 rule (Pareto's Law) to identify the people and activities that bring you peak joy—and how to schedule them immediately.Creating a "Not-To-Do" list to eliminate the negative triggers from your life.

Your body is sending you signals every moment of every day, but are you listening? In this episode, I'll walk you through how these three hormones (cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin) dictate whether you wake up energised or exhausted, maintain focus or feel scattered, and recover quickly or stay stuck in chronic stress mode. Your hormones respond to your daily choices; make them work for you instead of against you.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community for Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols! https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Thank you to our partners H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP: JOIN AND GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij CARAWAY: “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S RHO NUTRITION: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 01:07 Cortisol Definition and Reduction 05:00 What are Leptin and Ghrelin? 06:20 Effects of Consistent Calorie Restriction 07:30 Link to Study on Leptin Receptors: https://bit.ly/49nHUlX 08:30 How to Balance These 3 Hormones The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In today's comprehensive episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle the number one barrier to fasting success by demystifying hunger as a trainable physiological response rather than an insurmountable obstacle, explaining the complex interplay between ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and leptin (the fullness signal) and how consistent fasting actually reduces hunger intensity over time. They introduce the powerful "HALT the BS" framework for identifying whether you're truly hungry or responding to being Happy, Angry, Lonely, Tired, Bored, or Stressed—revealing how 50% of dopamine is produced in the gut and why emotional eating stems from dopamine deficits rather than actual nutritional needs. The hosts break down how food choices dramatically impact hunger waves, explaining why ultra-processed foods increase consumption by 17 calories per minute and create blood sugar crashes that trigger false hunger signals, while protein-prioritized meals with healthy fats naturally suppress appetite through the same GLP-1 mechanisms that weight loss medications artificially stimulate. They provide actionable strategies for managing hunger including optimal salt supplementation timing, the hunger-satiety scale for objective assessment, and why poor sleep can lower leptin levels by 17% while simultaneously increasing ghrelin and insulin resistance. This episode delivers a complete toolkit for reframing hunger as something to ride out like a wave rather than fight against, making fasting sustainable and even easier over time through proper preparation, strategic meal composition, and lifestyle optimization. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Hormones might be trending, but most of what you see online about “fixing” them is either oversimplified or straight-up wrong. Christin chats with Sam (RD) and Lauren (CNS) to unpack leptin and ghrelin, your body's hunger and fullness hormones. They explain how these signals actually work, why your appetite sometimes feels like a mystery, and how to tune in to your body without falling for click-bait hormone “hacks” online.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky — expert in obesity medicine — explores the powerful link between stress and hunger. While many recognize stress affects eating, Dr. Novitsky explains the underlying science, behavioral patterns, and offers tools to manage stress-driven eating with compassion.Understanding Stress ResponsesDr. Novitsky explains that responses to stress vary widely. Some lose their appetite during stress, while others overeat. This depends on physiology, past experiences, and genetics. It's not about willpower; it's about biology and behavior.The Role of HormonesAdrenaline (acute stress): Suppresses hunger during “fight or flight” by slowing digestion.Cortisol (chronic stress): Increases appetite and cravings, especially for sugar and fat.Ghrelin: The “hunger hormone,” rises with stress, intensifying hunger cues.Leptin: The “fullness hormone,” can be blunted by chronic stress, leading to overeating.Acute vs. Chronic StressShort-term stress may shut down appetite. Chronic stress, however, causes lasting hormonal shifts that increase hunger, slow metabolism, and may cause leptin resistance. Dr. Novitsky explains how chronic stress and dieting can disrupt satiety signals and lead to weight challenge — even in those with a “normal” BMI.Behavioral & Genetic ComponentsCoping with food often starts in childhood. Learned behaviors and genetic predispositions influence whether one turns to food under stress. Dr. Novitsky shares her personal experience using food for emotional comfort, highlighting the importance of empathy over shame.Tools to Navigate Stress EatingSomatic Stress Scale (1–10) from DBT helps identify rising stress before acting on it.Mindful Pauses: Ask, “Am I hungry or triggered?”Compassionate Self-Talk: Replace guilt with curiosity.Nourishing Alternatives: Movement, breathwork, journaling, or support.Regulate First: Focus on emotional regulation before dietary restriction.Key InsightManaging stress is a foundation for managing hunger. When we understand our body's signals and respond with awareness and kindness, we create sustainable habits. Dr. Novitsky reminds us we're human, not broken—and we're in this together.Final ThoughtThere's no shame in stress eating. With knowledge, tools, and compassion, we can make empowered, healthier choices. Dr. Novitsky signs off with gratitude and love.Timestamps00:00:22 - Overview of Stress and Hunger00:00:52 - Individual Responses to Stress00:01:25 - Genetics and Stress Response00:01:46 - Acute vs. Chronic Stress00:02:06 - Hormones Involved in Stress Response00:02:28 - Adrenaline and Acute Stress00:03:43 - Cortisol and Chronic Stress00:05:00 - Insulin and Blood Sugar00:05:20 - Ghrelin and Hunger00:06:13 - Weight Loss and Stress00:06:47 - Leptin and Satiety00:07:30 - Leptin Resistance Explained00:08:02 - Normal Weight Obesity00:09:05 - Critique of BMI00:10:12 - Leptin Resistance and Metabolic Rate00:11:22 - Chronic Dieting and Leptin Resistance00:12:01 - Summary of Hormones and Stress00:13:43 - Genetic Component of Emotional Eating00:18:09 - Empathy and Emotional Eating00:21:09 - Identifying Patterns of Stress Eating00:24:08 - Recognizing Stress Levels00:25:01 - Stress Scale and Emotional Regulation00:27:07 - Chronic Stress and Hunger00:29:04 - Positive Stress and Dysregulation00:30:09 - Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Socials⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Dr. Ali• Beginner Strength Training Program – 12 months for only $199! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll TODAY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Total Fitness Program – A 12-month mind-body experience. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• The Fit Collective® x InBody USA/Canada – Get 15% off select models. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click HERE⁠

Have you ever been UNABLE to make a decision, only to realize you're hungry or tired? You are definitely not alone, and it happens to us all a lot more than we'd like. In this episode, we explore the importance of physiological factors, such as hunger and sleep, and how they impact our ability to trust ourselves. We discuss how our bodies work when they are hungry and tired (or don't work, for that matter), and how we can maintain a foundation of wellness through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for decision-making under stress and the power of self-talk in fostering authenticity and self-acceptance. And don't you forget to do your homework! Leave a review, comment on social media or leave us a message and tell us how it went. (You'll have to listen to figure out what your homework is).Key Takeaways:Physiological states like hunger can impair decision-making.Ghrelin, the hunger hormone, influences our mood and choices.Maintaining a foundation of wellness is crucial for optimal functioning.Maslow's hierarchy of needs highlights the importance of basic self-care.Regulating our physical needs can enhance emotional well-being.Practical strategies can help us make better decisions under stress.Self-talk can empower us to trust ourselves more.Honoring our needs can inspire others to do the same.It's never too late to prioritize everyday wellness.Chapters:03:35 The Impact of Physical Needs on Decision Making06:26 Understanding Ghrelin and Its Effects09:40 The Connection Between Body and Mind12:31 Everyday Wellness and Its Importance15:28 The Role of Regulation in Therapy18:45 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Wellness29:28 Understanding Baseline Needs36:50 Navigating Decision-Making Under Pressure49:14 Embracing Authenticity and Self-TrustLove,Meg & MaggiFollow us:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube ⁠Music curtesy of LiQWYD[self-trust, wellness, decision-making, physiology, ghrelin, mental health, emotional regulation, Maslow's hierarchy, self-care, hunger]

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how hormones regulate hunger, appetite and feelings of satiety (fullness), along with strategies to help control appetite. I describe how the body senses nutrient levels and how the brain processes these signals to stimulate hunger or suppress appetite. I also discuss how certain foods can help curb hunger, while processed foods and emulsifiers can interfere with satiety signals, leading to overeating. Additionally, I cover how lifestyle factors such as exercise and meal timing regulate blood glucose levels, which in turn impact hunger and appetite. Huberman Lab Essentials episodes are approximately 30 minutes long and focus on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, while our full-length episodes will continue to be released every Monday. This Huberman Lab Essentials is from the full-length Huberman Lab episode, “How Our Hormones Control Our Hunger, Eating & Satiety.” Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

[The LOdown] Hunger & Satiety Hormones: How Ghrelin and Leptin Control Your Menstrual Cycle and Thyroid In this episode, we're breaking down ghrelin and leptin—your body's key hunger and satiety hormones—and how they impact thyroid function, metabolism, and reproductive health. Learn how sleep, stress, fasting, and diet choices can throw these hormones out of balance, leading to reduced thyroid hormone output, leptin resistance, and even fertility struggles. Plus, we'll cover practical ways to optimize your hunger hormones for better energy, thyroid health, and hormone balance. A few things we chat about in this episode

Episode 2604 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the return of CICO, hormones and eating, yoga and pilates, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/the-return-of-cico-episode-2604 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - The Return of CICO Vinnie has been getting a lot of questions lately regarding restricting and tracking calories. (2:00) Does CICO (Calories In Calories Out) work? (5:00) Short answer: yes. But why do it? It is a form of restriction and the best way of losing weight is through controlling your hormones, which can be done without tracking every calorie. (13:00) You can control aspects of your hormones through lifestyle and eating. Eating correctly and avoiding processed junk helps control insulin, ghrelin, leptin. Insulin regulates blood glucose. Ghrelin is the hormone that signals hunger. Leptin signals when you are full. Cortisol responds to stress and can cause weight gain. Vinnie explains how “resistance” develops. (30:00) Vinnie mentions he had a consultation where a caller's life coach joined in the conversation. (39:00) Anna loves this idea! Getting the extra help, if you can do it, could be beneficial. ALSO: You can invest in Eat Happy Kitchen through her website and StartEngine. (18:30) Details are at Eat Happy Kitchen. Yoga/Pilates 101 What about yoga, Pilates, & stretching as forms of exercise? Vinnie loves yoga because it can stretch your muscles and joints, but it is not necessarily great for strength training. (43:00) Reformer Pilates is a great anaerobic exercise and great for strength. Don't rush through the exercises. Take your time and do it right. It should kick your ass, but not put you in pain. Stretching is good for muscles and joints, but doesn't count towards strength training. More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

On this episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley dives into the topic of weight loss resistance, a common issue that so many women struggle with, especially as we approach summer and theres a desire to feel confident, light and lean in our bodies. Despite what you've heard, eating less and moving more isn't the key to weight loss success. A lot of the time, the more you try to restrict or over-exercise, the worse things can get. And if you aren't aware hormonal imbalances are happening beneath the surface, you may assume that you need to restrict calories even more or exercise harder.If you've ever found yourself in this frustrating cycle of dieting and exercising relentlessly, only to see minimal results or even worse, no results at all, you're not alone. Kelley takes this episode to explain the role of hormones in weight loss and weight maintenance and the impact hormones have on metabolic health. She explores some of the common hormonal imbalances that may be sabotaging your weight loss journey and tools you can implement with respect to each imbalance that can serve as sustainable solutions. She also discusses the mental and emotional pitfalls we fall into when trying to lose weight and how to proactively help to prevent emotional and overeating. Tune in for strategies to stop grazing and balance blood sugar, overcoming food rules and restriction and to find out what underlying hormonal imbalance may be preventing you from having the results you want! To connect with Kelley click HERETo book a lab review with Kelley click HERE
