The doctors discuss leptin resistance and why never feeling full is not due to greed or gluttony. Discover why the standard weight loss advice doesn’t work for everyone, how stress and sleep affect your body, and simple steps you can take to feel better, without shame or strict diets. Listen to get real answers and practical tips you can use right away.
