Thank you so much for your mention of tips for reversing leptin resistance. I hadn’t heard of it before stumbling across your site. Your note about not snacking has been a game changer for me. I am 39, roughly 130 pounds and have hormone imbalance- too high cortisol which seems to disallow my body to produce enough progesterone, therefore I’m estrogen dominant. I have always grazed throughout the day. This has led to me eating less-than-great food choices. Switching to a no-snack plan has made all the difference. I can’t thank you enough for explaining on this site how snacking prevents the liver from resting and affects hormone production. I never would’ve considered that! I’ll be coming back here often for more helpful info.

I stumbled upon “grounding” as a result of spending a long weekend at a caravan park, next to a beach. last year It should be known that I suffer from 2 arthritic knees and used to take some strong painkillers, several daily, which was pain management that worked for most of the day, but certainly not a cure. When I was working I was on the beach every day, with my grandsons and family, for around 4 hours per day. I mentioned when I got back from this holiday that I hadn’t wore any knee supports the whole weekend. My wife, at the same time, mentioned that she had hardly any hot flushes that weekend (my wife has a minimum of 20 hot flushes per day). My son-in-law noticed that he didn’t need to take his inhaler (asthma) the entire weekend. Coincidence? Nope! I worked out that the one thing we all had in common that weekend was that we were all on the beach, no shoes or socks, for several hours per day. We put it down to being out in the fresh air, in Nairn, Scotland. But about a week later I was doing some research in to why my knee pain was gone, and most results that were coming back mentioned “grounding”. So I invested in a grounding sheet, which is basically a sheet with tiny silver foil grid pattern. Its main benefit is reduction or even elimination of inflammation. This ground sheet fits on top of the bed sheet, and plugs in to the earth pin of the electrical 3-pin electricity . This is where you can simulate being bare-footed on a beach or garden, etc. Having purchased the grounding sheet, I set it up on top of my bedsheet, plugged it in and waited for improvements. I can honestly say, hand on heart, within 3 days the pain reduced bit by bit, and at 7 days, the pain was completely gone!! I tried for a week without it, and on he 7th day the knee pain was back with a vengeance! I swear by my ground sheet. They are no that cheap, (around £40 a piece, mind…but they do work. I now sleep on it every night…Didn’t sort out my insomnia, but hey…one thing at a time 🙂 All the best – Jay

Have listened to Kat James and she says no coffee because it negatively affects Leptin levels.

Thanks for that insight! Having been there myself, I definitely understand that it’s easier said than done. I didn’t mean to present it as an easy solution, but just that if it is possible to avoid snacking between meals, it can help give the liver some time to rest and potentially help hormones. I personally found that focusing on high quality protein first at meals helped make it easier not to want to snack and also helped my cravings and weight over time.

Please email me ways to regulate my blood sugar with out help it will not be long and my doctor witll want to put me on insulin. Thank you so much

Dr Gabriel Cousins is quite masterful with diabetes. He has been know to get people off their insulin in 3 weeks. He has a program to deal with diabetes that you can do through his book. I think he may also have retreats for it too if its something you can afford.
