You might have heard conflicting opinions about what causes obesity and overeating. Part of it is blamed on calories, part of it on satiety signaling through this hormone called leptin. However, there is so much more context to how these pathways take effect.
Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and our guest today is Omar Mohtar. Omar is an MD PhD student at the Boston University in Molecular Medicine. He’s published papers on treating lung cancer, cell disease, leptin, and mTOR.
