Insulin is sometimes called “the fat-storage hormone” because it’s the main hormone determining whether you gain, maintain, or lose weight. Too much insulin can interfere with the ability of leptin to signal to your brain that you’re full. If you’re bingeing, you’re eating more food then you need, so it’s important to look into how hormones regulate your hunger, regardless of whether excess weight is an issue for you. Listen to the episode to find out more about the role of insulin!

This episode takes a deeper look at the second of two key hormones central to regulating your hunger and fullness signals. If you’re bingeing, you’re eating more food then you need, so it’s important to look into how hormones regulate your hunger, regardless of whether excess weight is an issue for you. Once you balance your hormones, it’ll be easier to eat less because your brain will actually be able to decipher the signal that you genuinely aren’t hungry. That’s a very different place from trying to stop eating when your brain is telling you that you really are hungry. The first is freedom. The second is prison.

It’s hard to normalize eating if your hormones are whacked. Why? Because hormones are key players in when we feel hungry and when we feel full—not to mention how fat gets stored and released in our bodies.
