Episode 134: Dr. Jason Fung

Dr. Jason Fung is a New York Times-bestselling author of many books including The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code. He completed medical school at the University of Toronto and a fellowship in nephrology at UCLA. He is the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with intermittent fasting. An early proponent of the now-popular fasting lifestyle, Dr. Fung is often called the founder of intermittent fasting. Today, Dr. Fung has prescribed intermittent fasting and a low carb diet to thousands of patients who have seen results that include reversal of type 2 diabetes, weight loss, and overall higher quality of life and wellbeing.

Host Brian Lenzkes and Dr.Fung talk about what intermittent fasting is, why people do it, and how to marry knowledge with environmental factors for maximum success with fasting and weight loss. They also discuss how to change habitual behavior and get started with new, beneficial habits, putting diabetes into remission and de-prescribing drugs with lifestyle changes, going beyond calories-in calories-out to the deeper level of knowledge about metabolic health and weight loss, how stress factors into the weight loss equation, and the appropriate ways and times to use drugs and surgery.
