Leptin Supplements

Thyroid supplements and leptin supplements?

I’m not overweight, BMI wise I fall into the normal category, but I am looking to lose 10 lbs that I gained after working in a pastry shop for a year.

I’ve read a lot about herbal thyroid supplements helping people lose weight (along with diet and exercise, of course) as well as leptin supplements. I do not have a thyroid condition, but was wondering if these supplements are safe for people without a thyroid condition and actually aid in weight loss. I’m not interested in diet pills that claim to drop pounds, so if these are similar I’d like to know.

Any advice or personal experiences are greatly appreciated.

And also, I am only 19 if that matters any.

Thank you. :)

It depends on what’s in the thyroid supplement. Some herbs stimulate the thyroid gland sufficiently that they can create a hyperthyroid picture if a healthy person takes them. And supplementing with iodine when it’s not needed can also cause problems.

The thyroid gland is involved in setting the basal metabolic rate. But if your thyroid is healthy, it’s not in your best interest to “muck with” thyroid hormones.

Healthier options would include EGCg (green tea extract) or even short term use of red/Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng). These are both mildly stimulating. You could also try the fiber-based options like PGX, which will aid blood sugar control and provide a sense of satiety (fullness) in a healthy way, thereby acting like a bit of an appetite suppressant.

My best advice? Eat LOADS of fresh fruits and veggies in an overall balanced diet. Include protein in your morning meal. Breathe deeply. Move joyfully (and do it often! With varying intensities.) Sleep well. And laugh often. Provided there are no underlying problems/endocrine issues, you’ll lose weight and be healthier and happier overall. :)

Obesity: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Prevention


$179.95


The obesity epidemic has spawned an unlimited array of quick-fix, rapid weight loss plans and unproven pharmaceuticals. Dangerous side effects and rebound weight gain has made the cure seem worse than the syndrome itself and left people uncertain where to turn. The only way to safely deal with the global obesity problem is to develop strategic therapeutic interventions using safe, natural supplements supported by credible research. With contributions from pioneers and esteemed leaders in their respective fields Obesity: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Prevention is a comprehensive resource covering a broad range of topics associated with obesity. Divided into eight sections, the text covers epidemiology and pathophysiology, correlating obesity with environmental estrogens, disordered eating, inflammatory responses, and endocrine disruption. Contributions also address neurobiology and neurotransmitters, leptin, ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and molecular genetics. The book devotes several chapters to obesity and its related degenerative diseases, drug development and adipose-targeted drugs, and the safety of obesity drugs. An expansive portion of the book considers natural, nutritional, and physical approaches to weight management. Taking an evidence based approach, it explores exercise, diet (including vegetarian and Atkin’s diets), gender differences, and caloric restriction, along with research on a wide range of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural supplements such as hydroxycitric acid, marine lipids, tea, chitosan, calcium, polyphenolic compounds, trivalent chromium, ephedra, and glucomannan. Special sections on the intricacies of childhood obesity and the benefits of bariatric surgery round out the array of information. With unparalleled depth of coverage, Obesity: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Prevention provides medical professionals, nutritionists, and researchers with an unprecedented
