Gut hormones are major players in the regulation of appetite, energy balance, and metabolism, positioning them as crucial elements in weight management and overall metabolic health. Hormones like ghrelin, leptin, peptide YY, and GLP-1 transmit signals between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain, influencing hunger cues, satiety, and ultimately, food intake. Grasping the underlying mechanisms of these hormones enables more targeted dietary interventions and therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing overeating and obesity. This session will examine the physiological functions of gut hormones, their influence on appetite regulation, and the latest research into modifying these pathways through diet, lifestyle adjustments, and pharmacological interventions. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how gut hormone regulation can be leveraged to promote healthier eating patterns and support metabolic well-being.
