What If It's NOT Depression? Podcast16 Juni 2023

Leptin Resistance, Metabolic Flexibility and Depression | Dr. Bindiya Gandhi

Have you ever wondered why you are not losing despite following a diet and exercising? Well, you probably never heard of leptin and creating metabolic flexibility.

I interviewed Dr. Bindiya Gandhi who calls herself the Leptin Resistance Expert about this very topic. She is a double board-certified Integrative & Functional Medicine Doctor, who helps thousands transform their overall health. She is the medical director at Atlanta Functional and Integrative Medicine - Revive ATL MD a comprehensive clinic focused on total body healing, including decreasing inflammation, improving hormonal imbalance, helping women get pregnant, weight loss resistance, chronic stress, gut health, and more.

After dealing with her own medical crisis and eventually improving her overall health to rebalance her hormones and conceive naturally, she has been focused on finding the CAUSE of issues instead of treating the symptoms and holds a special passion for female hormonal cases.

She has worked with A-listers including professional singers and athletes to reclaim their health. Her newest podcast Reset Renew Revive has gained tons of traction since its launch in April 2020. Bindiya regularly engages with her community of 43.1K followers via Instagram, where she produces compelling content and educational material to continue to inspire people to live healthier lifestyles. Check her out at the links below.

We discussed:

Her own health journey
What is leptin anyway?
What is metabolic flexibility and how to achieve that?
And how foods you eat impact gut health, hormones, mental health & your weight

She offers a free jumpstart metabolism guide called 5 Ways to Revive Your Metabolism at: ⁠www.atlantaweightlossdoctor.com⁠.

And as mentioned in the interview, she has a link to a quiz on her website to determine whether you might have a high leptin level or leptin resistance ⁠here⁠.
