Our live talk sessions of the pituitary and adrenal podcasts continue with this extremely informational conversation on hypothalamic obesity. If you are interested in learning more about his devastating disorder, please listen to Dr. Blevins as he shares his insights and extensive expertise on its causes, new treatments, and latest developments. He explains the underlying biology: fat cells produce leptin, which signals the hypothalamus to regulate appetite, metabolic rate, and activity level. When the hypothalamus is damaged, that signal fails, and patients feel constantly starving, their metabolism slows, activity drops, and severe weight gain follows.
