In this show you’ll learn:

• How leptin has an effect beyond appetite control
• Fat cells on fire—how to tame the inflammation
• Why practices like meditation HeartMath are key for weight loss

Background:

Many people who have struggled to lose weight and keep it off suspect there’s more to it than simply eating less, and resist the notion that failure is simply a matter of not trying hard enough. The fact that two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese suggest it’s a more complex situation.  One component of the complexity is the influence of appetite hormones. During the past few decades, researchers have identified numerous hormones that play a role in overall appetite control

Join Dr. Ritamarie and Mike Mutzel as they discuss how brain and gut hormones impact eating behavior and weight loss efforts.

Mike has an B.S. in Biology from Western Washington University and is completing his M.S. in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and is a graduate of the Institute for Functional Medicine’s (IFM) Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP)
