How Do I Know If I'm Leptin Resistant?

I highly recommend you ask your doctor to have the following test run if you think you might be LR. A lot of folks tell me "well won't he wonder why, he won't want to" blah, blah, blah. My response: He works for you, you don't work for him. The doctor is going to get paid regardless, especially if you have insurance. You give the doctor your list, ask him to have those test done and check if they're within normal levels. If you're LR your reverse T3 results will be elevated as well as the results of the cortisol tests. 1 Complete Blood Count (CBC) With Differential CPT Code: 85025 Metabolic Panel (14), Comprehensive CPT Code: 80053 Osmolality,serum CPT Code: 83930 Osmolality, Body Fluid CPT Code: 84999 Urinalysis, Complete With Microscopic Examination CPT Code: 81001 2 Hepatic Function Panel (7) CPT Code: 80076 C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment) CPT Code: 86141 Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy CPT Code: 82306 Insulin, Free and Total, Serum CPT Code: 83525; 83527 C-Peptide, Serum CPT Code: 84681 Hemoglobin (Hb) A1c CPT Code: 83036 3 Ferritin, Serum CPT Code: 82728 Iron and Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC) CPT Code: 83540; 83550 4 Homocyst(e)ine, Plasma CPT Code: 83090 Lipoprotein Subfractionation Profile CPT Code: 83701; 84478 5 Cortisol CPT Code: 82533 Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Sulfate CPT Code: 82627 Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) CPT Code: 82651 Estradiol CPT Code: 82670 Estrogens, Total CPT Code: 82672 Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH), Serum CPT Code: 83001 Growth Hormone-binding Protein CPT Code: 83519 Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) CPT Code: 84305 Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Serum CPT Code: 83002 Pregnenolone, Mass Spectrometry CPT Code: 84140 Progesterone CPT Code: 84144 Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA), Serum CPT Code: 84153 Sex Hormone-binding Globulin, Serum CPT Code: 84270 Testosterone, Free (Direct), Serum With Total Testosterone CPT Code: 84402; 84403 Prolactin CPT Code: 84146 6 Thytropin Releasing Hormone CPT Code: 83519; 84999 Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) CPT Code: 84443 Thyroxine (T4) CPT Code: 84436 Triiodothyronine (T3) CPT Code: 84480 T3 Uptake CPT Code: 84479 Reverse T3 CPT Code: 84482 Thyroxine-binding Globulin (TBG), Serum CPT Code: 84442 Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies CPT Code: 86376 Thyroid Antithyroglobulin Antibody CPT Code: 86800
