Leptin is a hormone: That mediates long-term regulation of energy balance, suppresses food intake and thereby induces weight loss. Resistance to leptin can cause obesity. Venus factor is a rigorous program. Seek individualized plan relevant to your situation with physical therapist and/or nutritionist, and improve sleep hygiene as good sleep increases leptin. Consider leptin resistance diet and lifestyle changes.
