You’ve probably heard of the FTO gene. It’s often nicknamed the “fat gene” — but that’s misleading.
🧬 FTO influences how your body responds to saturated fats and your appetite signaling — especially when stress and poor sleep are in play.
If you have the risk variant, you may:
- Feel hungrier faster after meals
- Store more fat when eating high-fat/high-carb combos
- Benefit from higher protein and fiber to stay full
