Dr. Fung, you changed the course of my health. My grandchildren thank you. Thank you so such for sharing your knowledge, direct and simple. Sugar bad, eggs good.😂

Dr Fung not only had the insight to recognize the root cause of diabetic kidney disease, but the courage to speak out against the conventional wisdom, which was just about treating the symptoms. Top man.

47:28 Dr. Fung changed my life. I lost 40 pounds went from obese to healthy weight; pre-diabetic to normal A1C.

I eliminated carbohydrates/sugars, started fasting for 18h and occasionally OMAD, zero processed foods, exercise every day, and natural supplements to lower glucose and others to increase metabolism and muscle. My glycated hemoglobin went from 8.5 to 5.7 in 3 months.

Listening to Dr. Fung when I first learned I had diabetes was instrumental on me understanding that this was NOT a progressive and chronic disease. I listened to everything I could from him and have turned my life into something so much better. I reversed my diabetes through LCHF diet, intermittent fasting (some prolonged fasts as well), and exercise. I went from an A1C of 13.2 at the end of June 2022 to 5.5 in January of 2023. I also happened to lose 36kg (80lbs.) so I guess by following his guidance it has cost me to lose a full wardrobe of bigger size clothing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Fung! I would be in very bad shape and getting worse if I'd listen to my current GP.

My father-in-law was a renowned family practice doctor in the 70s and 80s. He became so obsessed over reducing his heart attack risk through lowering his fat intake that he began to strive for a zero fat diet, following it for a number of years. He eventually developed Alzheimers and became completely dependent on a 'girlfriend' - who embezzled most of his life savings. A very sad story that has reverberated down through all of his descendents. And it is just one among many. This whole low-fat debacle has cost us dearly as a nation.

Prof Tim Noakes is a legend. So glad you gave him credit!

It’s been “burned “ into our minds that we always have to be eating, which is completely far from the truth . I’m so blessed I found Dr Fung , my son and I have lost so much with intermittent fasting! Thank you so much Dr Fung 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏼

My fat doctor kept telling me everything in moderation, when I told him I went carnivore. I recently saw him for a routine exam and was surprised when he said he had lost 20 pounds in four months after going low carb. :)

The one-two punch of doctors. Doctor Perlmutter and Doctor Fung in my humble opinion are the two best doctors at explaining the effects of nutrition on health. Thank you good doctors.

Once a year I come to check on Dr. Perlmutter. This man is still glowing and his jawline is sharper than last time. All that aside, I learned a lot from Dr. Fung years ago and I integrated it into my life with great results. Thank you both. 💕

I am a registered dietitian ; I can tell you in our profession; people believe IF and time restricted eating is extreme. No what’s extreme is 1/3 people obese, 1/3 people diabetic That’s extreme!!!!

Thank you. We (my husband and myself) followed The fast 800 diet for 12 weeks (we'd been Intermittent Fasting for 5 years) and I dialed myself back from DT2. We both lost 2+ kilos. We both lost belly fat and centimetres. It takes commitment and is not cheap. Carbs are cheap and quick to prepare. I have an auto-immune disease, on steroids, fatty liver, so still struggling with obesity. What about all those POOR drug companies. If people begin to improve their health with healthy food those poor companies will lose revenue! My French doctor here in France has not caught up with the low carb research. I hope he does one day. He still believes fat makes us fat and he's not an old Dr.

Ok, another testimonial about the positive effects of intermittent fasting/eating. 7 weeks ago ( after a mildly successful couple months with Noom, lost 10 pounds ), I came upon a video on fasting by Dr Fung. I watched the video, and I liked the video. I decided I was going to try intermittent fasting. The day after my watching Dr Fung's video on fasting I skipped breakfast ( phew, what a relief, I've never been hungry in the mornings and ate in the mornings because I've heard my whole life it's the most important meal of the day ) and had 2 meals. 2 delicious nutritious meals - whole foods, animal meat, plants, veggies, nuts, water ( just started adding fermented foods.) Since my first day of 2 meals a day, an avg of 17:7 fast/eat window - it's been 45 days. 45 days ago - 212lbs , 5'10" male 43yrs old Today - 189.5lbs , I'm still 5'10", I'm still male, but 2 months older. 22.5 lbs of dropped water, and fat and whatever else - in 45 days ( 1 month and Half ) by eating 2 meals a day with virtually no snacking and only water and coffee!!! I have high percentage dark cocoa chocolate 70% and higher with natural peanut butter sometimes when I'm hungry in between meals. I add sweetener to my coffee with heavy cream every day ( the sweetener is awful for me but I'm sugar addicted and thought to tread carefully here, and so I still have some sugar.) When I really feel I need it ( which is rare ) I'll have processed carbs like an occasional cookie, or slice(s) of bread. But much much much less than before. I have hypothyroidism, and take a pill every morning. I've done a couple 24hr fasts in my 45 days. IVE LOST 22.5 POUNDS IN A MONTH AND A HALF. - after eating terribly, absolutely terribly for the last 2 years ( was going through personal trauma and ate for dopamine hits.) A reversal this quick, by ...... 1. Skipping the most important meal of the day ( sarcasm ), 17:7 fast, eat window 2. Consume less sugar and refined Carbs by approx 80/85% 3. Eat delicious, real, whole foods ( not processed ) from the earth. Steaks, chicken, salmon, Brazilian nuts, rainbow of veggies, fermented foods. I take occasional fiber supplement , the only supplement I take called Inulin. 4. Respecting the process. At first I indulged in more sugar and carbs. Of course I did. I had been my whole life 43 yrs. I'm a food junkie. So I reminded myself to be patient. When I stumbled, I would assure myself that till the next meal I would commit to staying clean. Patience. 5. I have to include Marc Sisson. I read 2 meals a day before Obesity code - and Marc and his Co writter were the first to make me believe that I could do this. And I have. I did it. There were some bumps in the road of course, but I stayed on track. Now, when I feel pressured to eat something I don't prefer to put in my mouth ( I.e your invited to someone's home and don't wish to be rude ) I say fck it, and I eat whatever I want, KNOWING, that I'm armed with fasting in my arsenal. So I indulge and fast away my indulgences within a couple days!!!! Metabolic Flexibility is the name for that !!!!!! Hey you don't believe us?? Just try it. Goodluck

DR. FUNG makes a lot of sense, incredible information

Wonderfully encouraging! I don't have diabetes but after doing alot of research intermittent fasting is my new lifestyle and I feel great

Love dr Jason Fung ! Thanks for having him 🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻

All roads lead to.......quietly dumping sugar from your diet.

RIP Dr. Hallberg 😢🙏 She was an amazingly brilliant physician who helped so many people with her groundbreaking work.

by listening to dr Fung adviced, I managed to reversed my t2d with 7 a1c to 4,7 a1c in 8 months and lost 20 kg. Thank you, dr Fung

Years ago I remember reading in fitness magazines, “ If you switch from an automatic transmission to a standard transmission, you will loose 10 lbs. in the course of a year! 😀 I switched from an average of 4 cans of soda to 4 cans of diet soda a day, and after 1 year lost 0.00 lbs.! Cut 600 calories a day - zilch!

Jason, great info on diabetes. Been listening to you for 2 years, applying the principles of reversing sugar. I’m now off insulin taking no meds now.

Insulin made my Mama worse sugar wise and weight gain when she struggled to begin with. She went down hill quickly once she was on insulin!!😪

Interesting fact: in bodybuilding, immediately after weight training, for muscle building purposes it’s beneficial to drink fast digesting protein along with insulin spiking sugar like dextrose. I used to do it regularly, never gained weight but gave me cavities so had to switch to an alternative. In order to remain anabolic, the general idea was to eat slow digesting protein along with low glycemic carbs/fat throughout the day. Noticing where your body puts what you consume matters for results.

Two of my favorite people answering questions about diet... I hope you do it more often to bring this to light. I've heard this information before, but told it in a different way, always good to hear it again.

Thanks !!!! 50% over weight by 2030, YIKES!!!! Excellent information

they the food industries that pay for studies demonized the wrong fat , they never demonized seed oils or Crisco and margarine.

I was hoping to hear a discussion about uric acid .. Dr Perlmutter's new book "Drop Acid" and Dr Fung as a nephrologist would both know a lot about this interesting new hypothesis. Ditching fructose is the key once again.

Wow… I am a huge fan of yours now!!! You are speaking my language! Not from a vocabulary standpoint, as I had to look up about 14 words from your presentation on a different channel, lol, but from a genuinely intelligent and inquisitive human whom simply wants to empower others to take back their lives from going down the wrong pathways. Love and health to you good Doctor! You are a blessing. You remind me in looks and demeanor of my Mom and Dads Cardiologist Dr. Brian Donahue. He’s a great Doctor as you are and I wonder if he knows of you. I’m going to ask him next time I take my parents to see him. He’s from the Pittsburgh area UPMC.

It's so hard to watch what you eat, & calorie control when there's a fast food restaurant on every other block, everywhere you look!!

Great information and conversation! Thank you!

Excellent interview. Thank you!

Great interview with Dr. Fung! Thank you!!!

And these lying doctors gets a nomination every year, while the Honest doctors like Jason and a few gets laughed at for speaking the truth. I’m 48, fasting, and never felt better. Give these gentlemen a nomination!

I dont count calories. I just reduced my carbs drastically and upped protein and fat. I get full pretty easily now.

Thank you! Dr Fung makes sense to me.

Brilliant talk!!💐💐thank you!

Great information on getting better health.

That is what I've always thought! How sad when people that work in Health care look sicker than me! So how are they going to help me? Great video! 💞love you both!

The words shared are very meaningful and sincere

This was such an interesting and informative discussion. Thank you very much.

I love to listen to this knowledgeable and pleasant person. I very much love your podcast also

Interesting discussion Thank you! Conny from Sweden

Fructose... Guided missile...goes straight to the liver. Loved that!! 🤣🤣

Reading 'The Obesity Code' changed my life. Big Jason Fung fan!

2 of my favorite doctors ❤️💪💪

You guys are awesome thanks for sharing your knowledge you’re both great speakers. I am learning a lot. There is so much more to learn. When I went through college of medicine, we sure did not learn anything like this. Your talks and podcasts should be requirement in medical school. We have not been practicing medicine and just like you said tx sx not the disease. I wish I had known as 20 30 years ago.

👏 brilliant explanation Whenever I feel like eating snacks I always turn on to Fungs' video and listen to his talk on junk food and how they spike bsl. Thanks doctor

A great podcast that explains a still misunderstood problem.

Dr. Fung keeps it simple ,and it works .

Thanks doctor for videos that give alots information about type 2 diabetes

Dr Fung is right. Context and amount matter. I have a half cup of blueberries or blackberries with my unsweetened full fat Greek yogurt once or twice a week. That's good, I get vitamins, fiber and variety in my diet without too much of a carbohydrate load. Drinking a lot of juice or several bananas would be different.

Excellent video, very informative. Blessings from Puebla, Mexico.

such a clearly spoken podcast. I understood it all. Everything made sense. Thank you both.

I’ve been fasting clean for a little over a month. Had a 20 oz Coke Zero and the flood gates for sugar cravings soared! I have to be very careful with artificial sweeteners as much as sugar.

Good show, I'm a subscriber.

His guidance sure changed my life. I have questions about extended Fasts. Does anyone know where to find those answers? Most info is about IF and OMAD

👍 Thanks for posting! 😊

WOW Great and wonderful and useful Information I told my doctor About this he was against this he is no longer my doctor I am loving IF….Thank You Dr. Fung..I will be checking out your Channel, Dr. P.

I have been struggling with Diabetes for 30 years, I now do intermittent fasting 16/8 and I am in Mounjaro ,trying to do better,riding my recumbent bike 4 miles a day, three times a week, thanks for sharing

I like to listen to people who changed my life for the better.

Two of my favorite doctors

Dr. Fung's book, "The Obesity Code" is an incredible compilation of current science and lay-person friendly explanations of both obesity and type 2 diabetes. Thanks for this informative interview and discussion with Dr. Fung. I bought several copies of his book and gave them to family members a couple of years ago. (Retired Internist here.) :)

Dr Fung is a bonafide legend. Go watch all his lectures, take mental notes and try to understand your basic engineering. You owe it to yourself.

I watch net carbs of GREAT food and am starting the fasting. Process. I a, really feel😮ng good. Today I am at 16 hiyrs..not a lot but busy and ok. But I had a big meal at midnight because I was busy. And I had a steak sautéed mushrooms and egg. And some milk poured whole milk. Thank you. And I went to sleep but I got up this morning and I am feeling really good and it’s now about 3 PM and I will probably do a 20 hour fast and then Nibble on some good stuff and feel better. And maybe take a nap which sounds good.

Dr u r the best 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Excellent discussion Could have addressed correct foods that work best. Address issues for vegetarians and what works for them

The point about diet soda causing weight gain makes total sense. I didn't drink diet soda for two weeks and I had no cravings for junk food and I felt so much leaner after such short period of time. I really should quit drinking it once and for all.

Thanks 😇

This should be everyone's healthy living lifestyle. If you don't cut out ALL SUGARS and things that convert into sugars, don't do long term intermittent fasting of 16/24+ hours which is the most important recommendation on this list or don't get enough good sleep (don't eat past 6:00pm) you will not lose the bad fat weight nor gain the good muscle wight effectively, nor create a healing environment for the body to heal itself because you're limiting the bodies ability to produce HGH which helps make testosterone which does all sorts of wonderful things in the body. When I eat I eat high good fatty meats like a good 6oz rib eye steak with all the fat, whole eggs, fermented foods such as kimchi, butter, uncurred bacon, salmon, sardines, oysters, avacado, cheeses, healthy oils like olive healthy nuts like Almonds, Brazil, Chestnuts, Brazil, Hazelnuts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Pine nuts, sea salt, and if I'm in the mood for plant based foods I make sure they are of the cruciferous variety. Also the introduction of Boron in your diet also helps with the production of free testosterone along with, chlorella which is a natural algae that is purported to remove heavy metals and toxins from the body, along with Zinc 50mg, D3 10,000 iu, Magnesium, Niacin and maintaining a good gut flora with probiotics. I add additional vitamins such as trace minerals in my diet if I find I'm deficient in any one in particular.

wow!!!! thank you

Very good lecture I could say. I would just add the knowledge that each one has their personal fat threshold and each one has their own insulin grade of secretation genetically determined. Thats why 2 people eatong exactly the same food and doing the same things may gain fat diferently

Love the ballpen ASMR.

Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices. Fasting should be investigated as a treatment for disease.

I eat whenever I´m hungry, but I don`t eat sugar for decades and no bread since 12 months ago, the main meals are lot`s of vegetables (up to 1 kg/day) with meat and oliveoil, no carbs...in the morning or between some oats with apple and curd cheese and/or fatty yoghurt, in summary mostly ~ 150g oats/day in ~ 3 portions, (= 25 -30% carbs ) with veggies I estimate ~ up to 40-45 %....I don`t expect any substantiell bloodglucose spike and fat storage ever from ~ 50g Oats buffered with fat/protein.... lost a little weight, 61 yrs 71kg, BMI 20,7 I don`t eat any processed food/carbs...and oats are much cheaper... Some other opinion I heard, by consuming carbs, processed and/or in higher quantity you better do intermed.fasting. We burn some 100 kcal/hour, every excess goes to body fat, by slow impact of low glycemic load and muscle activity there is no excess. Of course, if your "snacks" are 600kcal pure crap...some 450kcal goes to fat storage.

Hello, I need a little guide here, My Dad is already doing dialysis. How can I improve that condition if the damage is already done? I changed my lifestyle 5 years ago, but I couldn't change his because we are in different countries at the moment. I just wonder if at this point is something that can be done to improve his condition

As someone who does a lot of research on nutrition, this is very interesting. What I am wondering is, is there any research on ketosis lowering insulin resistance?

I would love to hear Dr fungs view on the book ( mastering diabetes). They have been curing diabetes on a high carb, low fat diet High in starch and fruit

Last night I had strawberries after dinner and now blueberries after lunch. Yum I purchase them frozen to ration them sparingly and reduce spoilage. My problem this week was making whipped cream; I went thru 2 pints of HWC and gained a few pounds. Lesson learned

Does food aroma help with satiety? I’ve been doing real food and eschewing processed food since the beginning of 2023. I’ve noticed when I cook with ghee and Asian sesame oil, the aroma seems to make me feel a little fuller before eating.

Most health professionals don't think, they memorize and repeat

Angel of nutrition

This was years ago that I don’t even want to tell my PCP what hurts otherwise I will have like 10 px after. Everytime you tell him something he has tons of different px for it. He has his px pad with him all the time.

I was hoping to hear some focus on the role that uric acid plays in all of this. After all, Dr perlmutter did write the book Drop Acid.

11:59 : similarly reducing a fever with acetaminophen can make an infection worse.

Sure seems like Health Insurance Companies and Medicare would be receptive to a WFPB vegan message. It would save them money on health care costs. This could off set the lobbying by food manufacturers. Maybe educating health Insurance Companies and Medicare administrators should be a priority. Health Insurance companies might even push doctors to take nutrition more seriously by paying for nutrition counseling of patients.

My grandmother died 103 with type I since age of 40, never had any insulin injection, never had more than 1.00 glucose in blood, she managed it with artichoke and topinambour, she took metformin I think, that's all. She basically had zero insulin in her blood, so insulin is optional. She looked obese, but I realise today that she was metabolically healthy.

I read some of this book in March and had an endocrinologist appointment in May. I've lost 10 pounds since mid May '23. Calorie counting has been a huge lifestyle change for me but my doctor recommended an app called LOSE IT. It's truly an incredible tool - calorie counting. I used to think it was tedious but after being told I was prediabetic with another underlying health condition it was time to make a change. I'm going to complete the rest of Diabetes Code too.

Dr. Perlmutter, I just received an email from you inviting me to download your free ebook on diabetes. A dated disappointment - The "new study" mentioned in your free gift is from 2015, the references are from 2013 and earlier, and no mention is made of Dr. Hallberg's tragic passing, even though she is featured in this publication. Q - Is it really a good idea to recirculate old stuff in a rapidly-evolving field?

The background noises are too loud to keep listening. Just wanted to mention that.

Good interview but it would be good to ask Dr fung different questions

31:50. I laughed at that one.😃

Great video! But what is that clicking noise??

I think it’s funny when he interrupts Dr. Fung and they talk at the same time🤣

💚🏜 so awesome to hear a fresh discussion from two of my favorite doctors!

Dr. Fung, WHO (and when?) originally came up with the concept /practice of prescribing insulin to treat high insulin ? (at about 10 minutes into the video)

I have seen people not obesied but have type 2 diabetes who they have type 2 diabetes?

Remember whatever they ate decades ago had no preservative, no additives. My italian grandparents would NEVER EVER eat fast crappy food nor eat in restaurants, they would eat at weddings of course. Everything was fresh, grew their own veggies their own poultry. I knew a woman, 92 still driving herself to church, mowing her own lawn, slim in her blue jeans.

What about blue zones that are high carb low fat diet

Have a cup of orange juice every time Dr. Fung says "sort of". jk he's awesome
