The Hidden Hormonal Toll of Dieting: Expert Reveals the Risks

The impact of restrictive dieting on hormonal balance is a growing concern. Many people experience negative side effects such as increased hunger, metabolic slowdown, and even potential health problems like pre-diabetes. In a recent video by doctor_zubareva, a practicing physician with 13 years of experience, she discusses the roles of leptin and ghrelin in this process. "Leptin is a hormone that signals satiety, and when its levels drop, the body feels hungry even after eating," explains doctor_zubareva. She further explains that this hormonal disruption can lead to insulin resistance and pre-diabetes. The video also highlights the impact on mood, skin, hair, and libido. The information provided emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to weight loss, considering the intricate interplay of hormones in the body. This holistic perspective is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being.
