0:00.0	Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.
0:07.0	Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.
0:12.0	Doctor Eric Burg.
0:14.0	Let's talk about leptin.
0:16.0	Leptin is mainly known as an appetite hormone.
0:19.0	So the more you have, the less hungry you are.
