In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie unpacks leptin — the hormone made by your fat cells that tells your brain how much energy you have stored — and explains exactly why so many women in perimenopause and menopause develop leptin resistance, where the signal between the body and the brain breaks down.

And here is the part most coaches miss: leptin resistance does not always show up as constant hunger. Some women are starving all day. Others barely have an appetite, eat 1,200 calories a day, and STILL gain weight. Both of them have a metabolism stuck in conservation mode. Both of them have leptin signaling that isn't getting through.

The hunger is just a separate system that may or may not be screaming about it. If either of those is you, this is the episode that finally tells you why.
