It's time to discover how to get well, lose weight, and finally feel alive again.

how to overcome leptin resistance in order to burn more fat.

It's not able to unlock the cells in order to get the sugar out of your blood and into

your cells where it could be stored for energy or body fat if those energy stores and

lockers have already been filled up.

So what we want to do is understand and really look at how leptin resistance often goes
