Top Tips To Know If Satiety Hormone Is Impacting Weight And Fertility

Top Tips To Know If Satiety Hormone Is Impacting Weight And Fertility

Dr. Bindiya Ghandi joins us this week as we're digging into a functional medicine approach to weight loss.

Are you dealing with food cravings, sleep disturbances, weight gain and always feeling hungry?

Could it be leptin resistance?

Learn about the possible causes and how to manage symptoms so that you can balance hormones and improve pregnancy success.

Today I'm excited to welcome Dr. Bindiya Ghandi. Dr. Bindiya is double boarded by the American Board of Family Medicine as well as the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Physicians.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) What is leptin resistance and why does it matter if you are on the fertility journey

2) The difference between the functional medicine approach to weight loss and the conventional approach (i.e. it's not about calories).

3) Why diets never seem to work and we gain all the weight back and more (we discuss biochemical factors that may be impacting your body to lose weight).

4) How to test for leptins. Plus the role of thyroid and blood sugar balance in weight loss

5) How to reverse leptin resistance (easy steps to implement right now)

Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner. During our call, we'll be discussing what you have tried so far and where you've faced challenges. This can feel stressful but is designed to help us get to the root cause of your fertility issues and will help me to give you the best possible action plan at the end of the call. However, to reassure you – on this call we won't be digging into the trauma associated with infertility/miscarriage/loss – rather we are focused on solutions and an ACTION PLAN as to how our Fab Fertile Method can help you get pregnant naturally.
