Which diet are you following? Are you doing the carnivore diet? Vegan? Keto? The choices and variations of every diet plan available is nearly endless. At the heart of the matter, diet consciousness is a question of overall health and better managing and preventing diseases and conditions that hinder your performance and destroy your ability to live a happy and healthy life. In this episode, nephrologist and intermittent fasting expert, Dr. Jason Fung, exposes the overarching importance of understanding your body’s hormonal response to insulin activated by what you eat and the frequency with which you eat. He also breaks down the three major paradigms for cancer, and ranks the danger of a poor diet as high as cigarette smoke in terms of high risk contributors of cancer. Dr. Fung is also the author of the #1 best seller, The Obesity Code.

QUOTES:
“So it’s simply false to say, if you cut 500 calories a day down, you will lose a pound of body fat a week, it’s actually not true in any way, shape, or form.” [5:31]
“when you’re thinking about weight gain, weight loss, you really have to think about hormones, because it’s really a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric imbalance” [12:04]
“when insulin is going down you’re going to burn body fat, […] you can’t burn body fat if insulin is high.” [21:05]
“…we’re not trying to kill cells with immunotherapy, we’re not trying to fix genetic mutations. What we’re trying to do is treat these cancers like a foreign species, like an invasive foreign species…” [40:03]
“diet actually plays a massive role, and by understanding it, perhaps you can reduce your risk of cancer.” [47:45]

How shocking was this episode? Dr. Jason Fung really changed my mind and showed several places I had misconceptions about nutrition, hormones, and cancer.
What healthy myths do you want me to explore in future episodes?
In the medical field for people requiring tube feeding, the practice is usually to infuse it slowly 24hrs/day to avoid dumping a lot all at once 3 times/ day. Over my 40-plus years as a nurse, I’ve questioned dieticians on several occasions about this continuous infusion & not giving the body a rest from the digestive process. I was told it’s done to assure enough calories are being given.
I have also noted that people on long term tube feedings always gained weight. Always. Even if they had been at normal weight range throughout their lives before the illness.
This interview finally explains the weight gain! It’s not about calories, it’s about the constant stimulation for the body to release insulin. THANK YOU! I always knew there was SOMETHING going on we didn’t understand.
It’s great Jason has a picture of Jesus behind him and Tom has Captain America and Batman figurines…lol Love it! Watched 100’s of hours of Dr. Fung this is his best interview and video ever.
This episode was insane! The idea that it is chronic stressors that lead to cancer! Mind Blown! I’d love to hear more about sleep and how much you actually need. Thanks Tom! Amazing show man! Keep up the amazing work!
Dr Jason Fung changed my life. A very special man! I encourage everyone to do some binging on his videos and read his books. Thanks Tom for having him on the show.
I sleep so much better at night knowing there are brains like Dr. Jason Fung in the world.
I’ve never clicked a video so fast! Dr Fung is someone I’ve been following for over a year now and he changed the way I think about calories and health immensely. His advice has seriously changed my life for the better, THANKS for having him on!!!
Dr. Fung is brilliant. I wish I had discovered him 30 years ago.
I’ve been following dr Fung for a couple years now. His videos and books changed my understanding of food. Nice to see him here on your show. He speaks clearly and simply. It’s nice to see someone that really cares and wants to help people.
Dr Jason Fung has turned my health around. I’m 64 and down 105 pounds.
I read Obesity Code book and it made so much sense. We’ve all met that person who is over weight and swears they’re eating very little. Secretly we don’t believe them because we are so programmed to believe the calories in calories out model. Now maybe we can cut those people some slack.
Intermittent fasting has, as a 52 year old man, changed my life. A regular exerciser I could never shift my belly fat. Intermittent fasting changed that within weeks.
