Reforming night owl

Leptin has a lot of different jobs, but one of its jobs is to tell the body how much extra energy it has on board so that the body will do little things the next day to either burn more or conserve fuel.

Hear this: leptin needs certain conditions to be in place in order to dock to leptin receptors in the brain.
* Leptin needs morning sunlight from the rising sun (yes) into the naked eyes (outside) as this sunrise sunlight sets leptin up for the day.
* Leptin needs darkness to activate, which means we need to be eliminating artificial blue light and lighting in general during dark hours of the day.
* Leptin needs us to finish our final meals many hours before we go to sleep for several reasons. One is that insulin will compete with leptin. So that late night snack is a problem not because of calories, but because of hormones.
* Leptin docks to the receptors in the hypothalamus between midnight and 2 am, but in order for this to happen, we need to have been asleep for a while. There is a drastic difference in leptin signaling, therefore, between a bedtime at 9pm or a bedtime at midnight. Going to bed at midnight or later will likely mean little to no leptin docking that night.

Without returning your body to a state of leptin sensitivity, your body CAN'T lose weight. It's not getting the message. The line is disconnected.
In my 7 Week Circadian Reset Mentorship, I will be teaching you the step-by-step process to lay the foundation of better circadian health. We will be talking about ways to restore that leptin signaling and dial in your hormone health overall.

We start on October 21st, and participation is capped at 10 with spots filling up.
