In this episode, we dive deep into ghrelin, the powerful “hunger hormone” that does way more than just make you want to eat. We break down what ghrelin is, where it’s produced, how it impacts appetite and cravings, and why it skyrockets during dieting, fasting, stress, and lack of sleep. You’ll also learn how ghrelin connects to growth hormone release, metabolism, fat loss resistance, and why your body fights to regain weight after dieting. If you’re into peptides, body recomposition, GLP-1s, longevity, or simply want to understand why hunger feels so intense sometimes, this episode is a must-listen.
