Thank you! Thank you so much! I am on my journey to health because of your intellectual honesty and expertise. May many more understand the science and the research proven in clinical practice by those who listen.
Dr. Fung, what can we do to lower Insulin in a blood test? I'm not finding info from sources I trust about how to lower the microunits per milliliter of insulin from an insulin blood test.
carbohydrate is the not the problem. the problems is processed carbs and sugar. Fruits, vegetables legumes are all carbs. Be more specific. The problems is low fiber diet. Fiber slows down the absorption of glucose
Then I dont understand why doctor inject insulin to reduce glucose in blood, if cell has been pack with glucose and can’t accept anymore glucose why injecting insulin works?
Jason Fung, Pradip Jamnadas, and Eric Berg changed my life. I've lost almost 100 lbs in seven months. All my blood tests are perfect, and my doctors are thrilled. I'm 61 and thought I'd never lose the weight. If I can do this, anyone can.
@@hazellam1032 I plateaued many times and I was letting fasting compensate for my eating unhealthily. And it did do that. These doctors promote eating Whole Foods. When I started doing that the fasting did a much better job. I haven’t plateaued at all with eating healthy foods. I never chase calorie numbers and continue to loose weight because of fasting and food choices.
Around the time The Obesity Code came out I was on my way to bariatric surgery. But the annexes of that book really changed my life. Went from 200 to 120kgs in 8 months with fastings from 5 to 44 days whilst leaving fructose out of the diet. Today I have a new life thanks to Dr. Fung.
@@Finn959 Today's weight is 78Kgs, variation in the last 3 months is 8kgs between 72 and 80. Weigh fluctuation is a curse I've to live with due to my affinity to carbs (after 2000 calories are ingested my body turns whatever energy is consumed of carbs into body fat)
@@panaceiasuberes6464You went from 200 to 78 kgs? I could really use some advice from you. How did you do it? Did you combine keto (low carb) diet with fasting? What kind of fasting did you do? Did you hit plateaus, I'm sure you did but how did you break past them?
Dr Jason, Berg, Pradip should receive the special Oscar of RUclips !!! Starting fasting few weeks ago …. Today my numbers are perfect …..first time in 15 years !!!! Unfortunately I followed for years the wrong direction of the $$$$ medical business and that took me to the ER with 4 bypass surgery!! The good news is : it is never too late 👍thank you gentlemen
The worst news I heard in my life was when my clinic doctor told me “ you are prediabetic”.A1c was 5.8 , Glucose was 260 and my weight was 201 lbs. I wasn’t able to read news and emails in my phone because my vision was week and blurry. I was very upset and hate the word diabetes because my parents had it and they both passed away. My two brothers have diabetes taking ( Glucophage tablets) after every meal. My doctor didn’t tell me anything about insulin resistance. I came home and started thinking. I found Dr. Jason on RUclips watched his videos repeatedly and decided to implement his advices practically. After eight to nine months, I lost weight , A1c dropped and triglycerides, cholesterol became normal. I reduced carbs intake and eat twice a day only. I have a normal health and never think about diabetes anymore.
My doctor told me I was "prediabetic" too, but he didn't tell me what I could do about it, so I figured it was a normal part of aging and I just ignored it. Man am I ever glad I found a cadre of doctors on the internet that explained it all to me! I now weigh what I weighed many decades ago.
@@KenJackson_US 95% of doctors are clueless about diabetes. The only doctors that have validated studies in reversing diabetes are Dr. Neal Barnard, Dt Walter Kempner and Dr Gabriel Cousens (though Cousens tended to go to extremes)
No idea why most first line physicians don’t know this, or don’t believe it. Even endocrinologists preach “smaller portions and exercise” not the “WHY” that works. Dr. Fung rocks!
I wish nursing instructors explained things this way! I’ve been a nurse for a while now but never really understood how insulin resistance happens. Thank you Dr. Fung! 🙏🏻
Yes, and it is heart-breaking to see so many patients struggling in their lives with curable diseases. This information absolutely needs to be part of basic healthcare curriculum.
Thank you Dr Fung. Two months ago my doctor said I am pre diabetic and I decided that getting myself back on track is my new challenge, and so I started researching into what I can do to help myself. I have heard from friends that type 2 diabetes is not curable and that people would get fat and overweight and so on, and that I will end up taking more and more medications as there shall be side effects with more medications. I don't want any of these! I came across one of your videos and it was easy to understand and logical. I started the 168 regime on Oct 18 (today is Dec 14) coupled with low carb low sugar diet and my weight dropped from 160 lbs to today's 141.5lbs, body fat went down from 23.3% to today's 19.6%, BMI went down from 24.4 to today's 22.5. a1c went from 6.2 to 6.1, fasting blood sugar dropped from 6.8 to 5.7, total cholesterol went from 6.2 to 5.2. Btw my six packs finally showed, and I had to get new pants as waist went down from 35inches to 31.5 inches. It's as though I have a different body! I shall continue 168 intermittent fasting and low carb diet as a lifestyle as it is easy to follow and sustainable. There is also the time savings and food expenses. Now my decision about whether to eat is simple: when outside the feeding window then don't eat and even if inside feeding window if not hungry then eating is optional. Thank you so much for your videos and you have changed many peoples' life's including mine.
This is absolutely the answer. In my life I have worked so hard to control my weight and to lose weight over and over. I was pushing and depriving my body over and over, only to watch the scale stall or watch my body actually gain weight. This process of reducing my blood glucose AND my insulin levels by time-restricted eating has unlocked my fat cells and they are now responding to all the exercise and good food choices. With opening and closing my feeding window each day as you describe, my body is now using the stored energy, and I am eating a delicious low-carb selection of foods that is highly satisfying. This is a workable and relaxed lifestyle that is also normalizing my weight. I am so thankful to find your research BEFORE I had Type 2 diabetes and before the additional weight caused other health problems associated with obesity. I can not stop explaining this process to others, and it is working for them as well, hoping this solves the crisis of obesity-related illness and helps many people to enjoy their lives free of disease. One only needs to study how obesity effects every process in the body to be motivated to make the changes necessary to maintain health. This process you have explained absolutely is the golden ticket. In my clinical time as a nursing student, I observed too many people who were dealing with serious illness that was lifestyle-related and curable. Treating symptoms and not providing solutions for the patients seemed to keep them on a never-ending hamster wheel. This protocol which you described, can push back the wave of people caught in chronic illness and release them. I have read all your books, I have bought your books for others, I will continue to share this important information everyday as my own experience illustrates that it works! Thank you for getting this information out in book form and for lecturing constantly to the medical community about this solution.
Good job danielle , its a simple and painless once you understand and actually try fasting. Working on spreading Fungs message to my two overweight struggling sisters. Glad you saw the "light"
This video can save life! Especially for those who are treating their diabetes WRONGLY! Fasting is the right way to do instead of putting more insulin into the body.
Nope. Jason Fung took the work of others. Water fasting has been used in Russia to reverse type 2 diabetes for over 20 years. A vegan diet has been proven to reverse type 2 diabetes and that has been known since the 70s. Other doctors did the work. Dr. Walter Kempner developed the rice and fruit diet, which reversed high blood pressure and diabetic retinopathy. Jason Fung is coat tailing off them and making a hefty dollar too.
Insulin is the hormone that makes a obese, sick and tired. Following a keto and even sometimes carnivore diet I have completely reversed my debilitating anxiety. It's more than just weight loss, it's changes people's psychology🤓
That's because you are dramatically reducing the inflammation in your body. Anxiety and depression are symptoms of inflammation in your gut and your brain. Reduce the inflammation by eliminating sugars, vegetable oils and alcohol; then, fast and walk and you'll become a new person.
Considering how many studies there is that Completely disprove this and shows that a high carb diet works just as well to reduce insulin resistance, as long as there's a calorie deficit so that the individual loses weight. Amazing stuff science, turns out that you don't have to take advice from quacks like this anymore. 🙌
@@PSA78 Hi there, interesting perspective. And yes you are are correct, high carb (with adequate protein and a calorie deficit) does work for weight loss and some general overall health. There is a DISTINCT difference. If you want more than just weight loss, you want NEUROLOGICAL, and deeper hormonal changes, you need to go at least keto. ALSO the studies you suggest are not randomised placebo controlled trials but mostly observational/ prospective studies which can demonstrate a trend but definitely not high quality science to prove a hypothesis. Thank you again for your perspective 🥰🤓
@@ThePrimal.PodcastI'm talking about actual scientific research, peer reviewed, made by people holding Actual degrees on these subjects. The same studies often misquoted by Fung among other fad diet sellers to help gain credibility. Pretty much every single hormonal balance is dictated by obesity as they are tied in a seesaw, reduce weight and exercise and the rest follows. And yeah, there's a bunch of studies that is randomized, reversed (every test group goes through the exact same thing to eliminate individual differences), meta-analysis, etc. Maybe you should try and read an actual study or two, just to see for yourself.
Just came by to say that I am reading The Diabetes Code, and so much stuff is starting to make sense. My doctor didn't explain ANY of this to me three months ago when he gave me my diagnosis over the phone, and it kinda makes me wanna scream. So I just wanted to say thanks!
Dear Dr. Fung, I wanted to thank you very much for giving me the courage to start intermittent fasting for life! I am following you since the beginning of August 2021 and watch your instructional and inspirational videos regularly. I am 5'10'' and, as of this morning, lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! YOU DO DO DO REALLY HELP
Best explanation ever. Thank you so much,I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 2 months ago, after watching your videos i got on a low carb high fat diet and lost 27 pounds. After about the 3rd day my symptoms went away. Been feeling great ever since. Love your videos
Thank you so much sir.... With intermittent fasting and omad my sugar levels are coming to 120 from 200. I couldn't be more happier... Even my fasting levels were high due to dawn phenomenon... But slowly they are coming to 100. Thanks a lot sir
This is, by far, clearest, most understandable explanation of insulin resistance that I have found on the internet. Thank you, Dr. Jason. From the Philippines, we say, Mabuhay ka!
Dr Fung, thanks so much for such a nice, logical and easy to understand explanation of insulin resistance. This knowledge will help me decide how to best attack this problem.
Never ever did I think that a simple 14hours fast (dinner till breakfast) and lowering my sugar intake would make such a difference. Lost the weight, lost the bellyfat and lost my sugar cravings. When doing some physical activities I always started to feel faint. Felt I had to eat something. Even took some food with me when I knew I would be away for a few hours. But not anymore. I feel so much better now.
From the over storage of fat plugging the receptors to now ur theory about over flow of blood sugar, I hve concluded that it is a combination of both. I also believe that the most powerful reason of insulin resistance is the excessive amount of insulin released per meal bc in order to do its job it has to pour so much insulin to keep normal bs levels. So excess circulating insulin more fat storage in our organs creating malfunctioning of each! So I hve noticed that when I eat 30 carbs or less per meal I dont gain belly fat and start losing weight. So I think the key here is to avoid the pancreas in releasing an excess amount insulin to avoid accumulation of fat in the organ depot!
Was trying to find an answer to what exactly is the mechanism behind insulin resistance and finally found in this video that it is simply not known yet, thank you for clearing it up!
Thank you Dr.Fung! Been your follower and believer for 1year now.and many good things happend to my health.and everytime i need inspiration to get even better. I watch your Videos.it motivates me more! By supporting your good work.bought some 2 books from you. Im very happy.gobless you always Dr. Fung.
started fasting and lost 6 lbs already! Thank you Dr. Fung. im also encouraging my husband who is a type 2 diabetic to change his diet and fasting. I am hopeful.
Some of the many benefits of fasting and low carb diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weght loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical precursor to BDNF is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

This was very informative. The illustration in my mind was an elevator in a tall building and all the buttons have been pushed. At first people can crowd together and hold their breath. But that becomes unfeasible as it stops at each floor and no one gets off.
This makes so much sense. Fortunately my Dr. believes in lifestyle change before meds and wants me to practice IF with a HFLC diet first. So far the results are good. I especially like the 18/6 protocol because it suits my schedule and disposition best. I’ve tried a few other types but this works for me. That being said, everyone has to figure out what works for them and their disposition/lifestyle.
Some research has shown that nano droplets of saturated fats at the gateway of the insulin receptor can create a partially clogged receptor in turn creating cellular starvation as a ted talk once explained. This does go right along with that awesome explanation.
I started Jason's IF diet method (loosely - still have low carb pizza every other week) about 3 months ago. Now down to 1-2 meals a day, and have lost 26 pounds without any hunger pangs. Read his books, live the method. Also make sure to eat items that build immunity. I am 77 with Diabetes 2, and my stats are dropped and never any Covid hint. Antibody tests show I have never gotten it. The biggest problem is when shopping for food, I tend to get too much for just 1-2 daily meals. AND learn tactics to act when you want to eat out of habit to avoid doing so. This should be mandatory for all government workers since governments and schools tend to attract obese employees who then run up benefit costs paid by taxpayers. Thus IF can change the world!
Love your videos, they're so educational on one of the most complicated and vexing pathologies because your explanations and analogies are so well thought out presented. Can you provide any insight into the situation where a person without obesity develops diabetes?
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
Hi there; I've just had blood results back from my diabetes nurse "Hi Ross; good results from bloods. Hba1c is 58; back on track-other bloods all normal" I'm so stoked!!! Keto and Intermittent Fasting has made the difference! Thank you!
Not only does the overflow paradigm behind insulin resistance make the most sense, but it is an easy one to illustrate, because life is filled with all sorts of analogues to this, such as flooding streets, houses with too much garbage, a car with an overfilled gas tank, etc. etc. Life, as a whole, is about homeostasis. The lack of homeostasis is at the root of much of the problems that afflict us. There is no reason to think that insulin resistance would be any different. Thank you Dr. Fung, as always, for making things so easily comprehensible.
But what is causing the sink to overflow? It's not just running water, it's a blockage. When we remove the blockage the overflow drains, I.e. glucose clears from the blood into the cells. The overflow is a result of the block. So should we be removing the excess fat, blocking the cells that need Insulin?
Hoarding, to sum it up in one word. And big medicine makes big bucks this way. In fact certain occupations are highly dependent on maladjusted eating, like dentistry, ophthalmology(for macular degeneration), heart attacks, etc.
@@truthwins9459 There's Zero difference between high or low carb once the individual exercise and is in calorie deficit. Lose weight and the insulin resistance improves. 😉

Dr Fung, I humbly request you to talk about the following: I think different types of cells - hepatic, muscle, adipose - respond differently to insulin and glucose. This difference is what characterises metabolic problems - e.g. a person with low lean muscle mass will develop I.R. more easily because all the glucose can only go to one place - the fat cells, and so they get overwhelmed over time. Also, there is evidence that a lot of south Asians (I am from India) selectively retain fat and get rid of muscle during fasting (esp prolonged) as an adaptation due to evolution during a long history of famines. Other populations might have different metabolic dispositions.
Wow oh Thanks! youve explained this so I can understand much better. Before, I sort of got it, but your descriptions and diagrams helped to see it much clearer. Poor cells having to keep being pumped up and up with more and more glucose, cant go on indefinatly filling and filling with too much.
Thank you, Dr. Fung. Your insights are truly a blessing in helping to unravel this growing health crisis. It would seem the challenge of today is finding physicians who would operate within the glucose cell saturation model and would be willing to work with patients and caregivers in managing the tricky risk involved of managing the medications prescribed to allow patients to safely wean themselves off of medication. Despite desperately wanting to help people, the only thing a lay person or caregiver can do is direct them to your work or to their physician. If their physician adheres to the traditional theory of type 2 diabetes being a "chronic lifelong condition" there is not much you can do. I guess my conclusion is diabetes educators and physicians are the key to this. Without a reeducation on this issue we are in serious trouble. Most of the effort today seens to revolve around creating medications that are more effective at cramming more glucose into cells in order to lower blood sugar levels leaving everyone happy.
Hey Dr. Fung. Can you do videos more often please, would love if you could go into more detail aswell about other problems. I mean Dr Jamnadas is Great but he has got no account and no social media to reach out. You guys are the best docs so far and Robert Lustig too. It’s all good, but you 3 are my fave.
This is best explanation on insulin resistance phenomena..using overflow paradigm instead internal starvation…But I am still wondering if all body cells already filled with glucose why we still feels tired and low energy? thanks Dr. Jason🙏🙏

Happy Sunday, Dr. Fung and to everyone watching. Stay happy, healthy and wise 🌸🤍🎀 Have a great day

I wish nursing instructors explained things this way! I’ve been a nurse for a while now but never really understood how insulin resistance happens. Thank you Dr. Fung! 🙏🏻
Yes, and it is heart-breaking to see so many patients struggling in their lives with curable diseases. This information absolutely needs to be part of basic healthcare curriculum.
My daughter is a a recent RN, and is skeptical of Dr Fung. I don't get it. So many success stories

Cute nose BTW 🙂
Alina: So it's Dr Fungi is it? - Oh no, my bad. It's Dr Fung!
Thank you Dr Fung. Two months ago my doctor said I am pre diabetic and I decided that getting myself back on track is my new challenge, and so I started researching into what I can do to help myself. I have heard from friends that type 2 diabetes is not curable and that people would get fat and overweight and so on, and that I will end up taking more and more medications as there shall be side effects with more medications. I don't want any of these! I came across one of your videos and it was easy to understand and logical. I started the 168 regime on Oct 18 (today is Dec 14) coupled with low carb low sugar diet and my weight dropped from 160 lbs to today's 141.5lbs, body fat went down from 23.3% to today's 19.6%, BMI went down from 24.4 to today's 22.5. a1c went from 6.2 to 6.1, fasting blood sugar dropped from 6.8 to 5.7, total cholesterol went from 6.2 to 5.2. Btw my six packs finally showed, and I had to get new pants as waist went down from 35inches to 31.5 inches. It's as though I have a different body! I shall continue 168 intermittent fasting and low carb diet as a lifestyle as it is easy to follow and sustainable. There is also the time savings and food expenses. Now my decision about whether to eat is simple: when outside the feeding window then don't eat and even if inside feeding window if not hungry then eating is optional. Thank you so much for your videos and you have changed many peoples' life's including mine.
Anyone else just watch these on Sundays to support the Fungster even thought they already know everything to be covered?
Yes plus it helps keep me focused on what I need to be doing.
This is absolutely the answer. In my life I have worked so hard to control my weight and to lose weight over and over. I was pushing and depriving my body over and over, only to watch the scale stall or watch my body actually gain weight. This process of reducing my blood glucose AND my insulin levels by time-restricted eating has unlocked my fat cells and they are now responding to all the exercise and good food choices. With opening and closing my feeding window each day as you describe, my body is now using the stored energy, and I am eating a delicious low-carb selection of foods that is highly satisfying. This is a workable and relaxed lifestyle that is also normalizing my weight. I am so thankful to find your research BEFORE I had Type 2 diabetes and before the additional weight caused other health problems associated with obesity. I can not stop explaining this process to others, and it is working for them as well, hoping this solves the crisis of obesity-related illness and helps many people to enjoy their lives free of disease. One only needs to study how obesity effects every process in the body to be motivated to make the changes necessary to maintain health. This process you have explained absolutely is the golden ticket. In my clinical time as a nursing student, I observed too many people who were dealing with serious illness that was lifestyle-related and curable. Treating symptoms and not providing solutions for the patients seemed to keep them on a never-ending hamster wheel. This protocol which you described, can push back the wave of people caught in chronic illness and release them. I have read all your books, I have bought your books for others, I will continue to share this important information everyday as my own experience illustrates that it works! Thank you for getting this information out in book form and for lecturing constantly to the medical community about this solution.
Good job danielle , its a simple and painless once you understand and actually try fasting. Working on spreading Fungs message to my two overweight struggling sisters. Glad you saw the "light"
Ditto ☝️👍
This video can save life! Especially for those who are treating their diabetes WRONGLY! Fasting is the right way to do instead of putting more insulin into the body.
Give this man the Nobel Prize! Thank you for your passion to help others, Dr Fung. I’ve benefit greatly from your talks. 🙏🏽
Nope. Jason Fung took the work of others. Water fasting has been used in Russia to reverse type 2 diabetes for over 20 years.
A vegan diet has been proven to reverse type 2 diabetes and that has been known since the 70s. Other doctors did the work.
Dr. Walter Kempner developed the rice and fruit diet, which reversed high blood pressure and diabetic retinopathy.
Jason Fung is coat tailing off them and making a hefty dollar too.
Insulin is the hormone that makes a obese, sick and tired. Following a keto and even sometimes carnivore diet I have completely reversed my debilitating anxiety. It's more than just weight loss, it's changes people's psychology🤓
By going low carb and fasting I got rid of Depression that I had for decades. So true.
That's because you are dramatically reducing the inflammation in your body. Anxiety and depression are symptoms of inflammation in your gut and your brain. Reduce the inflammation by eliminating sugars, vegetable oils and alcohol; then, fast and walk and you'll become a new person.
Considering how many studies there is that Completely disprove this and shows that a high carb diet works just as well to reduce insulin resistance, as long as there's a calorie deficit so that the individual loses weight.
Amazing stuff science, turns out that you don't have to take advice from quacks like this anymore. 🙌
@@PSA78 Hi there, interesting perspective. And yes you are are correct, high carb (with adequate protein and a calorie deficit) does work for weight loss and some general overall health. There is a DISTINCT difference.
If you want more than just weight loss, you want NEUROLOGICAL, and deeper hormonal changes, you need to go at least keto.
ALSO the studies you suggest are not randomised placebo controlled trials but mostly observational/ prospective studies which can demonstrate a trend but definitely not high quality science to prove a hypothesis.
Thank you again for your perspective 🥰🤓
@@ThePrimal.PodcastI'm talking about actual scientific research, peer reviewed, made by people holding Actual degrees on these subjects. The same studies often misquoted by Fung among other fad diet sellers to help gain credibility.
Pretty much every single hormonal balance is dictated by obesity as they are tied in a seesaw, reduce weight and exercise and the rest follows.
And yeah, there's a bunch of studies that is randomized, reversed (every test group goes through the exact same thing to eliminate individual differences), meta-analysis, etc.
Maybe you should try and read an actual study or two, just to see for yourself.
Just came by to say that I am reading The Diabetes Code, and so much stuff is starting to make sense. My doctor didn't explain ANY of this to me three months ago when he gave me my diagnosis over the phone, and it kinda makes me wanna scream. So I just wanted to say thanks!
Dear Dr. Fung, I wanted to thank you very much for giving me the courage to start intermittent fasting for life! I am following you since the beginning of August 2021 and watch your instructional and inspirational videos regularly. I am 5'10'' and, as of this morning, lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! YOU DO DO DO REALLY HELP
How’s it going? Are u still on the program? I’m 6 weeks in, and down 21 pounds so far…
Best explanation ever. Thank you so much,I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 2 months ago, after watching your videos i got on a low carb high fat diet and lost 27 pounds. After about the 3rd day my symptoms went away. Been feeling great ever since. Love your videos
Thank you so much sir.... With intermittent fasting and omad my sugar levels are coming to 120 from 200. I couldn't be more happier... Even my fasting levels were high due to dawn phenomenon... But slowly they are coming to 100. Thanks a lot sir
The doctor offers clear and understandable explanations for the various aspects of the problem at hand.
THE GREATEST VIDEO COVERS INSULIN RESISTANCE WITH EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLES, I WOULD FOLLOW YOUR WAY, WISH ME I WIN AGAINST IR.. THANK YOU, DOCTOR ❤
This is, by far, clearest, most understandable explanation of insulin resistance that I have found on the internet. Thank you, Dr. Jason.
From the Philippines, we say, Mabuhay ka!
This is the best demo on insulin resistance I have seen and will show it to my husband who also suffering from this disease. Thank you.
Dr Fung, thanks so much for such a nice, logical and easy to understand explanation of insulin resistance. This knowledge will help me decide how to best attack this problem.
Never ever did I think that a simple 14hours fast (dinner till breakfast) and lowering my sugar intake would make such a difference. Lost the weight, lost the bellyfat and lost my sugar cravings. When doing some physical activities I always started to feel faint. Felt I had to eat something. Even took some food with me when I knew I would be away for a few hours. But not anymore. I feel so much better now.
I wasn't sure if I was experiencing insulin resistance or not. Thanks for making clear the process and what it really is.
From the over storage of fat plugging the receptors to now ur theory about over flow of blood sugar, I hve concluded that it is a combination of both. I also believe that the most powerful reason of insulin resistance is the excessive amount of insulin released per meal bc in order to do its job it has to pour so much insulin to keep normal bs levels. So excess circulating insulin more fat storage in our organs creating malfunctioning of each! So I hve noticed that when I eat 30 carbs or less per meal I dont gain belly fat and start losing weight. So I think the key here is to avoid the pancreas in releasing an excess amount insulin to avoid accumulation of fat in the organ depot!
Clear, and easily understood. An excellent explanation. Thank you.
Dr fung you’re so special in my life . You given me second chance to live normal life
Jason Fung, You are a MASTER in explaining thing in the best possible way. This is soo important to underdstand what ir is.
Was trying to find an answer to what exactly is the mechanism behind insulin resistance and finally found in this video that it is simply not known yet, thank you for clearing it up!
Dr. Fung life saver the way you scaffold the precious knowledge is pretty astounding.
Thank you Dr.Fung! Been your follower and believer for 1year now.and many good things happend to my health.and everytime i need inspiration to get even better. I watch your Videos.it motivates me more! By supporting your good work.bought some 2 books from you. Im very happy.gobless you always Dr. Fung.
Today I learned about the second paradigm. My doctor always explained to me the first one. Thank you Dr Jason Fung.
I look forward to your videos every Sunday. Thank you so much, I am learning a lot. 😊
started fasting and lost 6 lbs already! Thank you Dr. Fung. im also encouraging my husband who is a type 2 diabetic to change his diet and fasting. I am hopeful.
Some of the many benefits of fasting and low carb diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data:
Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system.
Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic.
Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque.
Weght loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy!
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.
The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state.
It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses.
Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention!
Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging.
Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
In fact, the biochemical precursor to BDNF is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting.
Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow.
Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period.
Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Best comment EVER on ANY video. Thank you Sir !
@@thuvakman Thank you, I appreciate the support!
This was very informative. The illustration in my mind was an elevator in a tall building and all the buttons have been pushed. At first people can crowd together and hold their breath. But that becomes unfeasible as it stops at each floor and no one gets off.
Thank you so much Doc Fung for explanation. Your the best!
Thank you for keeping us educated and well informed! These videos help me stay motivated . I've learned so much😊💓
This makes so much sense. Fortunately my Dr. believes in lifestyle change before meds and wants me to practice IF with a HFLC diet first. So far
the results are good. I especially like the 18/6 protocol because it suits my schedule and disposition best. I’ve tried a few other types but this works
for me. That being said, everyone has to figure out what works for them and their disposition/lifestyle.
Dr Jason Fung information are getting better and better...
Keep listening... Thanksgiving!
Thank you dr fung for transforming lives of so many lives including mine and my family
You Deserve Nobel Prize : @Jason Fung
Thank you doctor Jason, I really like the way you explained easy to understand. You're truly a blessed to everyone! Blessings.
Blessed Sunday "Daktari"Jason Fung.
Some research has shown that nano droplets of saturated fats at the gateway of the insulin receptor can create a partially clogged receptor in turn creating cellular starvation as a ted talk once explained. This does go right along with that awesome explanation.
Please share that Ted Talk!
That is correct. Intercellular lipids or fats cause insulin resistance which is why it correlates so strongly with obesity.
I searched for a perfect word to thank Dr. Jason, then I ended up thanking Almighty God for creating Dr. Jason.
Fantastic explanation by Dr. Fung. Makes perfect sense.
I started Jason's IF diet method (loosely - still have low carb pizza every other week) about 3 months ago. Now down to 1-2 meals a day, and have lost 26 pounds without any hunger pangs. Read his books, live the method. Also make sure to eat items that build immunity. I am 77 with Diabetes 2, and my stats are dropped and never any Covid hint. Antibody tests show I have never gotten it. The biggest problem is when shopping for food, I tend to get too much for just 1-2 daily meals. AND learn tactics to act when you want to eat out of habit to avoid doing so. This should be mandatory for all government workers since governments and schools tend to attract obese employees who then run up benefit costs paid by taxpayers. Thus IF can change the world!
Thank you very much for this clear explanation,Mr Fung, I am beginning to understand how the body works. It must be taught in schools.
In laymen's terms this is best explanation for insulin resistance, thank you.
Thanks doctor because of your amazing videos am seeing some changes ,soon I will reach my body goal
Thank you, Dr. Fung.
Brilliant explaination, this was very easy to understand! Thank you.
Love your videos, they're so educational on one of the most complicated and vexing pathologies because your explanations and analogies are so well thought out presented. Can you provide any insight into the situation where a person without obesity develops diabetes?
Thank you for doing these videos! Thank you so much! Your Mom must be so proud!!!!
Dr Fung is the best !
Greetings from Italy
🎀🎁🎄☃️🎅🎄🎁🎀
Thank you for telling the truth!
Another powerfully informational video, Dr Fung. Thanks for bringing this subject to a clearer understanding.👍and Sharing!
Great explanation, thank you! I’ve always had a hard time understanding insulin resistance, now (I think😁) I got it☺️👍🏼
Fat is the cause of Type 2 diabetes, the cure is a low-fat plant-based diet. Even a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit juice can cure Type 2 diabetes. And yet a lot of people misguidedly believe sugar is the culprit in this disease. Incredible!
Lol same
Your pop quiz is coming
Many thanks Sir for saving my Life!
Hi there; I've just had blood results back from my diabetes nurse "Hi Ross; good results from bloods. Hba1c is 58; back on track-other bloods all normal" I'm so stoked!!! Keto and Intermittent Fasting has made the difference! Thank you!
Not only does the overflow paradigm behind insulin resistance make the most sense, but it is an easy one to illustrate, because life is filled with all sorts of analogues to this, such as flooding streets, houses with too much garbage, a car with an overfilled gas tank, etc. etc. Life, as a whole, is about homeostasis. The lack of homeostasis is at the root of much of the problems that afflict us. There is no reason to think that insulin resistance would be any different. Thank you Dr. Fung, as always, for making things so easily comprehensible.
Very nice your text....and so true
But what is causing the sink to overflow? It's not just running water, it's a blockage. When we remove the blockage the overflow drains, I.e. glucose clears from the blood into the cells. The overflow is a result of the block. So should we be removing the excess fat, blocking the cells that need Insulin?
Hoarding, to sum it up in one word.
And big medicine makes big bucks this way. In fact certain occupations are highly dependent on maladjusted eating, like dentistry, ophthalmology(for macular degeneration), heart attacks, etc.
@@truthwins9459 There's Zero difference between high or low carb once the individual exercise and is in calorie deficit. Lose weight and the insulin resistance improves. 😉

Learning so much Dr. Fung. Thank you.
Simple but effective explanation, Thanks so much.
Dr Fung, I humbly request you to talk about the following:
I think different types of cells - hepatic, muscle, adipose - respond differently to insulin and glucose. This difference is what characterises metabolic problems - e.g. a person with low lean muscle mass will develop I.R. more easily because all the glucose can only go to one place - the fat cells, and so they get overwhelmed over time.
Also, there is evidence that a lot of south Asians (I am from India) selectively retain fat and get rid of muscle during fasting (esp prolonged) as an adaptation due to evolution during a long history of famines.
Other populations might have different metabolic dispositions.
Very clear and important information! Thank you!
Dr. Jason, thanks for the information,
😂😹 I love that subway example. Very nice. Thanks a lot for your kindness and help to educate people about true health care 👍👍
The truth about insulin resistance is well explained and gives a new insight on type 2 diabetes
Love u dr Jason fung. God bless u
Thank you Dr. Jason for your explanation of insulin resistance. The train.door opening metaphor got me..!
Best explanation on insulin resistance ever!
That's some mighty fine info. Thanks doc!
Thank you Dr. Fung. Invaluable education.👍💝☮🇺🇸
Great and fruitful lecture ❤❤❤❤
Dr Jason is a genious ❤
Wow oh Thanks! youve explained this so I can understand much better. Before, I sort of got it, but your descriptions and diagrams helped to see it much clearer. Poor cells having to keep being pumped up and up with more and more glucose, cant go on indefinatly filling and filling with too much.
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. God blessed.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
Praise God ,thanks
Excellent Video. Very informative. I learned a great deal which no other Dr. hardly speaks about. Thanks Doc.
This was such a helpful video. thank you so much for the explanations!
Thank you, Dr. Fung. Your insights are truly a blessing in helping to unravel this growing health crisis.
It would seem the challenge of today is finding physicians who would operate within the glucose cell saturation model and would be willing to work with patients and caregivers in managing the tricky risk involved of managing the medications prescribed to allow patients to safely wean themselves off of medication.
Despite desperately wanting to help people, the only thing a lay person or caregiver can do is direct them to your work or to their physician. If their physician adheres to the traditional theory of type 2 diabetes being a "chronic lifelong condition" there is not much you can do.
I guess my conclusion is diabetes educators and physicians are the key to this. Without a reeducation on this issue we are in serious trouble. Most of the effort today seens to revolve around creating medications that are more effective at cramming more glucose into cells in order to lower blood sugar levels leaving everyone happy.
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Outstanding explanation. Thank you.
Brilliant explanation!
Thanks!
Yes I learnt a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH Doctor.
Thank you for another excellent video 👍🏻
Hey Dr. Fung. Can you do videos more often please, would love if you could go into more detail aswell about other problems. I mean Dr Jamnadas is Great but he has got no account and no social media to reach out. You guys are the best docs so far and Robert Lustig too. It’s all good, but you 3 are my fave.
This is best explanation on insulin resistance phenomena..using overflow paradigm instead internal starvation…But I am still wondering if all body cells already filled with glucose why we still feels tired and low energy? thanks Dr. Jason🙏🙏
Thank you.
You give great advice.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👍😁
ALWAYS ON POINT!! TY DR. FUNG
Thank you sir simple but very important learning ❤ from india 🙏
Fantastic. Hats off
