TTE99: Body Fat, Leptin, and Hypothyroidism
Manage episode 308319837 series 2935464
In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Kelly and I discuss the hormone Leptin and its tie to thyroid physiology and body fat.
As with most things in the human body, Leptin is not good or bad. Leptin is critical for optimal physiology. But, when Leptin is too low, or too high, or Leptin signaling is disturbed, the result is often constant hunger, increased fat accumulation, obesity, and a host of related disorders.
We do a deep dive to discuss:
- What leptin is
- How leptin works when we are healthy
- How optimal leptin physiology improves thyroid physiology and metabolism
- How disturbed leptin signaling contributes to hunger, weight gain, and hypothyroidism
- How cellular hypothyroidism impacts leptin production and leptin signaling
