Leptin Regulates Hormones Including HGH
July 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Leptin, a hormone derived from fat cells, is best known for its efforts to send messages to the body that its time to stop eating. This process may go awry in many people with obesity. Dr. Sebastiano Ando, lead researcher, has noted that leptin is also involved in many other processes in the breast, from reproduction and lactation to cell differentiation and proliferation. Leptin is activated by signals from the leptin receptor, and it is this partnership gone wrong that has previously been shown to be involved in the development of breast cancer. Leptin has been found in 86.4% of primary breast tumors.
All this research implies that the regulation and function of leptin must be restored in anyone wanting to be protected from breast cancer or its return. Health guru Byron Richards, one of the first nutritionists to recognize the importance of leptin, describes it as the single most important hormone for body weight control. Leptin regulates thyroid hormone, insulin, growth hormone (HGH), and renal hormones. When leptin is dysfunctional, all the other hormones regulating metabolic processes become dysfunctional too. He sees an understanding of leptin as basic for anyone trying to get and keep optimal metabolic function.

‘Biggest Loser’ Coach Jillian Michaels On Diet, Hormones Including HGH
April 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Health coach for NBC’s The Biggest Loser Jillian Michaels was here to talk about her new book Master Your Metabolism.
One of the key messages in her book is no matter where you are in your “diet” goals (someone looking to lose a great deal of weight, a thin person looking to maintain, etc.) everyone can and should all be taking advantage of the great health benefits of balancing our hormones/metabolism.
 Start detoxifying by removing antinutrients that disrupt the body’s natural hormonal balance, causing it to speed the excessive release of weight-gain hormones (insulin, estrogen, cortisol) and to block the release of weight-loss hormones (thyroid, leptin, adiponectin, HGH/human growth hormone).
