Metabolic Dysfunction is NOT Just an Insulin Problem!

Other Important Hormones that are affected include

Adiponectin and Leptin:

Key Hormones in Energy Regulation. These are the other hormones (in addition to insulin) that we see improved regulation in when we use GLP-1’s (like ozempic and mounjaro). Did you also know that you can improve these in the way that those meds can WITH NUTRITION AND LIFESTYLE MEASURES ALONE!

The meds can help - they can be a jumpstart to helping control appetite and cravings!

However, this is the reality behind the fact that you can GLP-1 meds and all of your problems. Something like 66% of people doing all the way like after talking the GLP-1’s. You still have to do the work in altering what you put into your mind and into your mouth!!!

It is possible to improve these hormones involved in metabolic dysfunction with weight loss via nutrition and lifestyle alone!

What is so exciting about this ?

If you have access to guidance, education, and support - YOU can turn your health around! You can become proactive about your whole person health and wellness.

ULTIMATELY - YOU WILL LENGTHEN YOUR LIFE by making choices around taking action to reverse metabolic dysfunction and or diabetes type 2.

Proactive Wellness, LLC can help provide you with those guidance, education and support. Whether GLP-1’s are or are not a tool in the toolkit of achieving metabolic health… we are here to help guide you !!!

More info about these hormones:

Adiponectin and leptin are two hormones primarily secreted by adipose (fat) tissue that play crucial roles in regulating energy balance, metabolism, and overall health.

Functions of Adiponectin:

Insulin sensitivity:

Enhances insulin sensitivity in muscles and liver, reducing blood sugar levels.

Anti-inflammatory:

Reduces inflammation throughout the body, protecting against cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders.

Lipid metabolism:

Promotes fat burning and reduces fat accumulation.

Functions of Leptin:

Appetite regulation: Signals the brain to suppress hunger and reduce food intake.

Energy expenditure:

Increases energy expenditure by stimulating metabolism and fat burning.

Body fat distribution:

Promotes the accumulation of fat in subcutaneous (under-the-skin) rather than visceral (around organs) areas.

Relationship Between Adiponectin and Leptin:

Production:

Both hormones are primarily produced by adipose tissue, but their production is regulated differently. Adiponectin production increases with fat loss, while leptin production increases with fat gain.

Levels:

In general, individuals with higher body fat levels have higher leptin levels and lower adiponectin levels.

Ratio:

The ratio of adiponectin to leptin (A/L ratio) is considered an important indicator of metabolic health. A higher A/L ratio is associated with lower risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Importance of Adiponectin and Leptin Balance:

Maintaining a proper balance between adiponectin and leptin is essential for overall metabolic health. When these hormones are out of balance, it can lead to:

Obesity:

Excessive leptin production and low adiponectin production can contribute to weight gain and obesity.

Type 2 diabetes:

Insulin resistance and increased inflammation, caused by low adiponectin levels, can lead to m type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease:

High leptin levels and low adiponectin levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
