Dr. Fung, Your work is changing so many lives. There might be no interest in PCOS from academia or the drug companies, but there is a huge interest from all of the heart broken women out there struggling with infertility. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 14 and told that the best treatment was birth control. If I wanted kids, it would probably be impossible, since I only got one menstrual cycle every year or two, but I could try fertility treatments when I was ready. Fast forward to my mid 20s. I found your work and read “The PCOS Plan.” I started doing one meal a day and in 10 months, I lost 100lbs and started getting regular menstrual cycles for the first time. I’m currently 8 months pregnant with a little boy who I conceived naturally on the first try! Thank you for everything!
@@lailab4147 I have definitely reduced my carb intake, but I still let myself enjoy the foods I like from time to time. I still eat rice, bread, fruit, etc. I just try to make that the smallest portion on my plate. Most of my plate should be meat and veggies. For sweet treats, I try to use liquid stevia with no added sweeteners (check the ingredients) or monk fruit/ erythritol to make sweet teas, coffees, ice creams, whipped cream etc. I’ve sort of gotten to the point now where my body isn’t used to sugar, so if I eat regular sweets, I get a headache, so that’s a pretty good deterrent for me. I mostly rely on fasting to keep my insulin levels down. I find it easier to eat what I want, in reasonable portions once a day than to not get what I want but eat multiple times a day. I had my baby last month and I’m back on OMAD again and I’m feeling great! I can’t wait to get the baby weight off.
Dear Dr Jason. Thank you for all your advice. I have seen all your videos and learnt how to fast. I was 352lb and now after 1.5years I am 165lb. I reversed my Type 2 diabetic. Thank you for saving my life. God bless you. ❤️❤️
I tried fasting here and there for 2 months exactly. After years of several different doctor's trying to give me a hysterectomy, I went back for an ultrasound to check on cysts and growth and they were GONE! I AM A BELIEVER! I will continue to share this information! THANK YOU!
@@sheilabright2091 My doctor said the same to me. That he would give me a hysterectomy while removing my fibros. I told him "no you won't" and refused to even get the surgery for the fibros.
I have listened to more Dr. Jason Fung presentations and podcast interviews than probably any other physician or researcher that occupies the low carb space. His clinical insight, and his uncanny way of distilling concepts down into common sense and humorous analogies, just makes him the perfect teacher. Thank you for having him on your podcast.
I'm from the other side of the fence. I listened to a bunch of other figures first, before encountering Jason Fung. I agree, he inserts a lot of pedestrian perspective, to help people get on the bandwagon, and that's where the fence is. Others (Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick, Bret Scher, Dave Feldman) can be unapologetically technical.
@@wearashirt Exactly. While I consider myself an educated layman when it comes to matters of health and science in general, Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Rhonda Patrick can overwhelm a lot of scientifically well versed laymen with the level of scientific detail that they explore in their respective podcasts and interviews. While I appreciate the depth of their knowledge, in order to reach a broader audience, the plainspoken and accessible style of Dr. Fung tends to be the best route.
This host is the absolute best! He's knowledgeable, he KNOWS when and what to ask and he's not overbearing like most of the others who find it hard to allow Dr. Fung to speak in peace. A wonderful podcast with such amazing information. I learnt so much! Thank you gentlemen.
Dr. Jason Fung is my hero! I started a keto diet in February of this year (recommended by my doctor), and have since lost 50 pounds. I've been watching his videos for inspiration since the beginning, and started 16/8 intermittent fasting around April. It felt like a natural transition. Last month, I finally read his book, "The Obesity Code," and everything else fell into place. No more guilt about being a "lazy person" all my life, because now I know the factor that hormones played to get me where I was in February. Dr. Fung has given me the knowledge and tools to counter those hormones! Now, if I have a stressful day and the though of a sweet treat pops into my head, I know it's not me that craves the treat; it's the cortisol talking. Then I simply tell cortisol to piss off. LOL! If I have a family event and eat off plan, I simply fast the next 24 hours to get back on track. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
Marianne a third of the Carnivore community seems to be ex-Vegans who got real sick. Veganism is not for everyone apparently. I suppose you have to supplement a lot. I wish you the best of luck.
the biggest thing that the internet world isn't talking about during this fascinating discussion between 2 medically trained doctors as it pertains to diet, insulin resistance and intermittent fasting is that there wasn't 1 RUclips ad in it
I started alternate daily fasting just this week in an attempt to improve my insulin sensitivity. I am insulin resistant, having PCOS since in my 20’s, skin tags, had gestational diabetes in all three of my pregnancies and am about 25 pounds overweight. My mom passed away at a young 63 due to complications from diabetes and my older sister is on insulin. The writing is on the wall for me so I’m doing what I can to improve my health. I do daily walks most of the time and my next move is to go to a low carbohydrate lifestyle. All things are possible for the one who believes. Thanks Dr. Fung for your critical work and thanks for all those channels that share the information.
Hello, I read your post and the “skin tag” reference got my attention. What does this have to do with your condition? Curious because I am developing skiing tags more that ever before.
Well diabetes messes with your hormones so maybe that's why people get skin tags, I guess skin tags may have something to do with hormones possible PCOS or sometimes may have to with a wart type of virus
@@crystalclear6824 insulin grows skin tags. If you have diabetes, or pre diabetes, you get skin tags. Mine are gradually falling off. I try to keep my insulin levels as low as possible. No sugar. no starch. Mostly Carnivore. Heredity. My family is extremely sensitive to carbs. . Salad raises my blood sugar. Ive been keto for a year and carnivore for 6 weeks. I recently started intermittent fasting. I've lost 3 inches off my stomach. I will stay this way. I bought Dr Fungs books. I can feel a difference. Less headaches. Less Inflammation. I am 67 .
I can confirm. I completely cured my PCOS with fasting and I had PCOS for over 15 years. My doctor even surprised. She said it looks like I never had PCOS before. lol. Thanks to Dr Jason Fung for studying and sharing this knowledge to us who have been suffering due to some disease the doctors did not have intentions to cure us.
They dont know how to cure and dont want to confess that. Our medicals schools are to blame. Doctors are afraid of shaking off fundamental lies they learnt at those schools.
I and my husband two years back at 6.2 al1c prediabetic and we do 2MAD and OMAD . WE ARE NOW AT 4.4 Thank you so much You deserve a crown . You're the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥💯💯
As a Pre-Diabetic with an aggressive Cancer Mutation...as well as a double Cancer Survivor...I tell everyone I know struggling with health issues (Obesity, Cancer, Diabetes) about Dr. Jason Fung. His book the Obesity Code has changed my life. My A1C and Blood Glucose is dropping as well as some additional weight. I sleep better and feel so much better. This is truly an Anti-Cancer protocol. Thank you Dr. Fung.
in 2017 I was diagnosed with diabetes. One of the people I listened (via RUclips) to was Dr Jason Fung. I changed my diet to around 80% vegetables, rainbow food (I do eat meat but within the 20%). I do intermittent fasting. Now, no medication, all health markers normal. So, thanks Dr Fung.
I have lost 58 pounds in 74 days on keto and rotating from 18/6 to 48 hr fast to OMAD to 72 hr fast, etc. went from 320 to 262. Went from the last hole on my belt to the first hole. Eczema is gone. Headache issues are nearly gone. Life changing.
The message was good, Probably doctors before him have said the same thing. But the messenger is vital in changing people's minds. There's an emotional component to leaving crap food behind, and not eating any food for a few days. Dr. Fung's combination of plain language and sarcasm helped (and continues to help) me take the big leap.
Ok, I’ve read Obesity Code and now watched this. It’s official, unless it come out of Dr Fung’s mouth it isn’t true. He makes so much sense. I could listen to him talk for hours!
Dr Sten Ekberg is good too but I have a confession to make - I look at a photo of the person doing the talking and if they don't look fit and healthy for their age I don't watch. There are too many fat and flabby 'experts' with double chins out there. I'm not naming any names.
Fung is great, and this interviewer knows his job, lets the guests speak, does not say a lot himself although he knows a lot of the stuff the guests are talking about
I have a friend who may lose a toe and is suffering greatly from her diabetes. I’ve shared your video and pray she listens and also shares with her doctor. I’m so sad for all the people who’ve suffered from illnesses due to high sugar consumption.
She may have lost a toe but you sharing this with her may help her save her from further amputation of a foot or worse; leg. I work with geriatric amputees that have lost limbs due to diabetes to help them walk or improve mobility in a wheelchair. It saddens me which is why I am more determined to stick with a Keto diet to be healthy.
My cousin lost his leg behind Diabetes...it didn't have to be this way for him, but he was lazy, co-dependant, and played different kinds of games with himself (mentally) as opposed to taking himself seriously, and he lost his leg 😔... I know enough about Diabetes today to know that's 1 of the easiest diseases to overcome.
congratulations! Five Months? 100 pounds? Can you please share what you ate and if you only do the 18/8 fasting or switch it up with 24 hour or longer fasting periods.
Dr Jason Fung, Thank you, Sir, for providing us with all of this excellent health information for free. I and many others truly appreciate your help in overcoming our health issues. God bless you, in Jesus' name.☺️
I’m very thankful for Dr. Fung, I have PCOS and have went through 2 miscarriages so far.. I’m 34 years old and suffer with insulin resistance and so far I’ve been eating once a day and gave up sugar completely. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 1 month and I’m now heading into my second month.. I have 100 pounds more to lose and I’m hoping once I get my weight down that just maybe I can have a child with my husband ❤
I would like to thank you Dr. J. Fung, I tried intermittent fasting, the first time, my body can't take it, at the middle of the night I become hungry, but I was not discouraged I tried it, doing 16 hours fasting, I'm 75 years old and diabetic taking insulin, now I'm very confident doing the 16 hours fasting, My insulin intake before is 16 to 18 units, 3x a day, now its 10 units 3x a day, My weight is 160 pounds, 5'5 in height, still doing intermitted fasting 2 or 3 times a week depending how I feel. Thank you, Dr. Jason Fung.
@Mr. R Have done myself few GL cleanses as instructed by Andreas Moritz, with good results; especially when in combinatiom with Coffee Emema (to prevent auto-intoxification), but those who are older may prefer a more gentle approach - Lipophilic cleansing without adding Epsom salts - as John Douillard advises: www.elephantjournal.com/2014/12/the-detox-methods-that-are-actually-proven-to-work/
All that a person needs to do for a liver cleanse is to do a water fast. That allows the body to use up any fat that's stored in the liver, pancrease, other organs, abdomen, and subcutaneous fat cells. When the fat is removed, the liver, pancrease, and other body parts can do the jobs they have evolved to do. Drinking tea and coffee is ok, too, on the fast. Go to Jason Fung's Intensive Dietary Management website for all the details if how to do the fast. To clean out the gallbladder, eat sufficient fats when you do eat. When we eat fats, the body triggers the gallbladder to release the stored bile into the intestine so that the fat can be digested. If we don't eat sufficient animal fats, the bile stays in the gallbladder and can form gallstones. Ask Dr. Fung for information about how to get rid of the gallstones. He probably has had plenty of patients who had gallstones. Don't eat the seed-oil fats: corn, vegetable, canola, sunflower, etc. Read "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz to find out why. Instead, eat the fruit oils (coconut, olive, and avocado) and the animal fats.
Wonderful. I've realized that I wasn't really hungry when I felt like eatting in the middle of the night... I just felt like snacking, but overcame that after about 2 mos. I've only done 2 long fasts for over 40 hrs. The other times I only do 20:4
My father back in the 60s told us we should always go to bed a little bit hungry. Just meals nothing in between. I was skinny until I left home and all his advice fell on deaf ears. Now in my 60s I realise how right he was and he was not a medical person. Just believed in health and fitness.
Wow, I never put it together until reading your comment. One set of grandparents lived super healthy and vibrant lives well into their 80s, and I am talking white-water rafting in their late 70s and my grandfather moving me into my dorm in his early 80s, carried my footlocker up 4 flights of stairs on his back. They ate meat or fish and veg but not starchy veg, eggs for breakfast, 3 meals only no snacking, and dinner was at 5 pm. I always chalked it up to Grandpa's Jack LaLane habit and their simple diet and distaste for sugar, but never put it together that they also practiced intermittent fasting all those years!
yaiche rabah My grandfather was muslin, but his traditions were not pass on to me, now I want to explore some of this. He was also very healthy and lived to his nineties.
@@ayyb6789 The precise hours are since it's based on the lunar calendar is, sunrise to sunset will be your fasting hours. Dr. Mosely based his research on this and wrote a book called the "alternate day fasting" or commonly known as 5/2 Diet. This is "dry" fast so no water or food whats so ever. Muslims also do Ramadam once a year for a full month. Now my advice to you is this, if you want to lose weight and be healthy, do not do the 5/2 diet which says to eat 500 calories during the fasting days (this will make you very hungry). Do What Dr. Jason Fung advises, One Day A Meal or OMAD as it's known. You can apply it to Mon and Thursday and you will benefit from it. Then you will be so happy with the results that you could do it 7 days a week and eventually move onto eating whole foods such as in Keto diet and there you have a lifestyle change that will bring you a LOT of health benefit.
I am eating this stuff up (waits for sarcastic laughter). 24 days Keto...first 15 10lbs....then came fasting (4) 24 hour fasts so far and have dropped another 17 pounds....so 27 combined pounds gone in 24 days with treadmill daily after not at all for years. Dr Fung is all I talk about now...to the extent people around me will stop eating at work just shut me up :)
Awesome video!!!!! Thanks Dr. Fung!!!!! Holy moly....no one, EVEN MY GYN ever explained WHY I had a cyst on my ovary that she had to remove during my hysterectomy at age 42.... I have been Keto and IF for 4.5 months and feel great! I had some insulin resistance at the beginning of my Keto/IF journey, but am now doing well. I’ve lost weight and feel fantastic. I wasn’t very overweight before, but I was carrying extra pounds and HAD a fatty liver...not any longer...!!!
The gyne have no idea. I was on spironolactone for 20 years for hormonal acne. Too much androgen. Why? The doctors didn't know. Well it turns out that high blood pressure causes high androgens and high blood pressure os often caused by high insulin. So when I did alt day fasting, it dropped my insulin and the acne disappeared in 3 days after plaguing me my entire adult life. When I told my gyne, she looked at me like I had sprouted horns. If doctors stay smug and stupid, Dr. Google is going to kick their butts and make them irrelevant. Dr. Fung is a rare gem. A doctor actually interested in fixing the problem, not managing it.
This is so fascinating....I listen while I paint - I am now a full-time artist as I lost the job I had just begun with British Airways last year. It is amazing how much I’m learning. I have now stopped eating sugar, white flour etc and have a low carb diet which has transformed my digestive system completely! No more tummy ache, IBS, uncomfortable feelings after eating etc. I’m 51 yes old. I am super focused on producing more paintings than I ever imagined! Nutritional education is something that seriously needs to be completely re understood by everyone. It needs to be taught far more thoughtfully and thoroughly in medical school and in schools generally. We need to wise up to the power of advertising all the wrong food and the power of big pharmaceuticals selling drugs we perhaps don’t need. Perhaps we should eat like our ancestors did? Perhaps it all went wrong with the advent of farming years ago? Why did we need to start growing grains etc if we were actually healthier on a low-carb diet? Is it all about money? Probably. Interesting thought. 🎨
Dr. Scher, you are really the best interviewer in the world! This was a fantastic interview. I love Dr.Fung and I love you - so it was the best ever! Thanks so much!

You can eat oil if it’s healthy oil, e.g. coconut oil, safflower oil, organic butter. And actually you don’t need that much water. 2-3 cups a day is fine. More people die of too much water as it flushes out your nutrients. The body isn’t made out of 70% water. The ‘liquids’ in our body are blood, minerals, Electrolytes.
I had boils , infections inside my nose, nasal dripping and continuous sore throat for the last 3 years. Doctors were not sure why antibiotics were not working or my boils are not healing. I have seen numerous doctors and different types of specialists to find cure to my chronic illness. I was also very tired and weak because of the continuing infections. In the last month my eyes started to hurt a lot and I was having major headaches. I also had sone symptoms like frequent urinating and feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight , feeling sleepy after lunch or dinner and they were getting worse each year. I was still pretty thin because I ‘m always careful about what I eat. When my eyes hurt even more after using some antibiotics that was it for me . I stopped taking antibiotics and started doing OMAD and low carb diet. ( I still eat some fruits everyday ) I m doing one day 19-20 hours next day 25-26 hours IF . It’s been only a week now and I am feeling so much better. I feel like 70 percent of my infections are gone. My eyes stopped hurting on the 2 nd day or so and getting better each day. I will eat this way for a month and will switch to omad everyday and fast for 26 -28 hours once a week. I might do IF in some days 16:8 or 18-6 depending on my schedule but I want to do mostly omad with 22:2 . I feel less weak and much less sick righr now. It also helped me with the mood swings . I feel happier. I am pretty sure I was prediabetic. I was already diagnosed for having hypoglycemia in 2010. Doctors told me to eat every 3 hours. I did it and it made me feel much worse. Now I am hoping to cure myself completely with OMAD.
Dr. Jason Fung, you're a blessing from God. Thank you so much for openning our eyes. You're super logical and am a super fan. I'm a type 2 diabetic for 13 years and I'm on 40 units of novomix insuline. I started on 16/8 intermittent fasting and low carb diet last May 25. And I'm getting very good glucose reading. I'm just injecting enough insuline to avoid spikes, ie working on the average. I'm now on 16 units insuline. I switched to 18/6 intmt fasting last June 19 and I went down to 10 units insuline. Hopefully, I'll be out of insuline in a month. Thank you again. I have great respect for you. And may God bless you and protect you and your family always.
Dr Fung adds sanity to the question of living healthier. Fasting is not a diet. It is regulating when you eat, not what you eat. But you can choose to change your diet in addition to fasting. I have been fasting for about 6 months, eating only between 12 noon and 6pm. I am still losing weight (181-162lbs) and feeling pretty well. Start slow and adjust your fasting to get the results you want. It is free and even cheaper because you might be spending less for food.
since I found Dr.Fung 13 month ago on youTube my life has changed-after 50 years Im in the *normal weight zone* and a BMI of 25 coming from 32 16/8 since then, some 36 to 42 hours fasting- its a wonderful life 💞💞✌️💪👍Thank you so much
MY chemotherapy was so severe that I could not eat and lost 30lbs in 4 weeks. I often wondered, later after learning about fasting, if the effect was more about fasting and not so much about ingesting the poison (cisplatin). But 15 years later from my stage 4 tonsil cancer, I practice OMAD to keep healthy.
When i just diagnosed that i have diabetes. The diet guideline told me i have to eat to lower my blood sugar. It didn't any sense until i run into Dr. FUNG's channel. I wish i saw his channel 15 yrs ago. I am doing OMAD and hoping to do 36hrs IF. So far lost 20 lbs, sugar is much more controllable.
I had PCOS and was undergoing fertility treatment which was so stressful my mental health was at risk. I lost 4 stone and started to ovulate naturally and became pregnant immediately. I'm sure Dr Fung is right. The worst thing was the horrible way I was treated at the Infertility clinic, like it was my fault.
Remember the entire medical "industry" survives by people being sick and just treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause. it is great to see soo many views on this video. Please everybody tell at least 3 people you know about this video.
My female issues and PCOS over the past decades have been fully explained in a way I have never heard before but omg it makes total sense! Nothing else I have read medical or physiological over the years ever passed the test for me. I am 53 now and started Keto and fasting in 2016 and a follower of Fung just never heard him speak on this. Will eat the low carb/fasting way for life.
Hi, I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome too and didn't really know all that much about it. I followed Dr Jason Fung's advice and others within the low carb community, and lost 42lbs within 4 months. I now understand a lot more about metabolic disease. I wish you the best with the rest of your journey.
I'm so glad you both are doing something about it. My pcos finally led to breast cancer. Please make your health #1 to reduce risks. I'm the only woman in my family of 8 women with breast cancer after late pcos diagnosis.
@@revcea123 I started keto last year & lost 12lbs. All my aching joints went away. I was a bit too late. Er+pr+ breast cancer made it's way. Looking back, I was high insulin for years. They say they caught it pretty early, but I'll no longer follow doctors blindly. I should know better, my Mom lost her life early doing that very same thing. Three doctors told me that I had a 1% chance of getting cancer in my other breast. An MRI gave me a clean bill of health. I did my own research & went with double mastectomy. After surgery they told us my right breast tissue was riddled with precancerous cells. We must be our own advocates. Be well
as a nurse I worked for an endocrinologist and we had quite a few patients that learned they could decrease or eliminate all together their type 2 diabetes meds by eating a low carb high fat diet. that was a few years ago and now the empirical knowledge has opened the doors to the Keto, Carnivore diet and Intermittent fasting with great and remarkable results for many people with much less hunger. what the country needs now is real science to promote our best health, not the antiquated, junk science that got us here, with the standard American diet, in the first place. we have to get Big Agra and its money out of our nutrition politics. and while we're at it, lets get Big Pharma's money and junk science out of vaccines, too. we're entering another period of scientific enlightenment, hopefully.
Liz Keith Unfortunately subjective logic and the use of the Hegelian Dialectic helps to create artificial problems and solutions. The majority of the public just want solutions without having to figure it out on their own
This is a goldmine that I am beyond grateful to come upon. On year 5 of IF-ing, and I love finding data to support continuing the practice along with drinking a gallon of Kangen water 9.5 pH every day. I’m my own experiment, and I’m excited to stay youthful and healthy for decades without ever needing any Big Pharma product. Cheers to our always improving health.
Once I started doing IF, my weight control became so easy. I work out 3 times a week while in IF. My BMI has been at 21 for a few years now. I try to stay low carb, but I can eat just about anything I want.
I have been doing intermittent fasting (one meal per day) keto-carnivore diet, since more than two years ago, I have seen all the doctor Fung videos since I started this way of life. And this is one of best videos on this issue. Thanks very much for it to both of you.
I followed his videos, went on a 5 day OMAD, cheat on weekends by eating 2x a day. Walked my dog 4 to 6 kms every day. Now I'm out of T2D & HBP meds because my doctors said so. Thank you so much Dr. Jason Fung 🙏🙏
what a man ! He helped save my life. I reversed t2 diabeties with his help. October 2017 my blood sugar level was Hba1c 65. March 2018 Hba1c 49. June 2018 Hba1c 40. Its been under 40 ever since ( ranging from 36- 39, latest 38 ). You are a star
@@jameshunt7884 Through a low carb ( not low calorie) full fat diet. I am vegetarian, so it was more difficult, but if you are a meat eater, then look for ketogenic diet. Get rid of Grains Potatoes and Sugar ( GPS). A way of working our net carbs is to look at Carbs, minus fibre. This is because fibre delays carbs from being turned into blood sugar.
Dear Dr Jason. Thank you for your work. I have read all your books and learnt how to fast. reversed my Type 2 diabetis and I love to fast now. I understand the benifit for cancer prevention. God bless you. ❤❤
The best my partners diabetes has ever been is on keto and fasting. Thank you for all these videos for motivating me and in return I can motivate him and also teaching us that we can have more control over our wellness.
Dr Fung started it all for me back in 2016. I owe my health and beauty to his teaching on ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. I can't thank him enough for his fridge-freezer video!
Dr. Jason Fung, I've been praying for a plan to lose weight for me and my husband, I believe God led us to your podcast and your youtube posts, we started doing intermittent fasting for a week now and feels so much better. Thank you so much and God bless you!!!
All diabetes meds gone in weeks. Then 150 lbs lost over 5 years with no exercise. Still losing. No weight regain. Takes no effort anymore. Never hungry. Feel like I'm just getting started. In this for life. I now have more energy so im just naturally more active. But no workouts.
I could listen to him speak for hours and hours. Very insightful information and pretty much going against the status quo.

22 pounds (10 kg) down so far doing a combination of full day fasts and OMAD (always breakfast). Weekends eat and drink whatever. I'm at about 4 kg (8.8 pounds) from my ideal weight. 1 kg (2.2 pounds) avg. weight loss per week.
I looooove Dr. Fung his point of view and explanation from a doctor’s perspective it makes SOOOO MUCH SENSE! Hopefully all doctors will learn from him 👊🏻💕
Great Video. Thanks, Dr. Fung. I have all your books and I got hooked onto fasting. You are so right that today it is considered normal to eat every two hours. Even the trainers at the gym - new graduates from school - learn that 3 meals are vital and that snacks are beneficial for the blood sugar. By the way, when you said "I should have zero muscle" ....in response to claims of fasting opponents, I had to grin. You are sooo right.
I am so thankful that I found Dr. Fung, I am learning so much from his work. I appreciate all of his knowledge. I also appreciate that he works closely with Dr. Bickman
it's controversial because he bucks the norm of typical doctor and nutrition advice to eat 3 to 4 meals a day. Fasting isn't going to bring much business to doctors if patients can heal themselves so I'm sure mainstream medicine sees him as a threat .
I notice when I fast my muscles get bigger and harder and then when I am not fasting they are more fluffy and squishy. I see the change without exercise. MY skin is like new after years of fasting doing 24 or 72 hours.
HGH increases after 36 hour of fasting.. Hence you get more gains, same with taking creatine and melatonin which spikes your HGH levels. However melatonin can cause joint pain in people with auto immune disorders.
My hypothyroidism is being reversed due to Keto/Carnivore, IF and EF. My meds have been lowered 4 times since March 2019, I go back in 6 weeks for more bloodwork. I've had hypothyroidism for 25 years and this is the 1st time that it has been lowered, even when I was living the Atkins lifestyle it never once was lowered.
Thank you so much Dr Jason for sharing! I’m practicing all your teaching but not quite sure if I applied it right but! my tummy trimmed and over passed the hunger and used eating twice a day, I’m so much happy what I am now! Thanks a million Dr Jason!!!!
Starting day 5 of 16/8 fasting schedule with low carb diet, my fasting blood sugar has already dropped 90 points! Thank you Dr. Fung! I am hopeful I will not need to go back on medication!
I stopped Soda drinks and sugar my blood pressure dropped from 149/101 to 137/89 my doctor is puzzled and wants to keep monitoring me, I'm also going low carb, this is encouraging.
Thank you Dr. Jason Fung. I started viewing your videos after I had a mild stroke, affecting speech, aphasia in 2014. I've been a fan and sharing your videos eversince. I listen to your podcast while I take my walks. I get inspired as I exercise. Thank you for all you do for us who want to win back our health❤
I'm doing modified alternate day fasting now. 370 calories every other day with daily 16/8 intermittent fasting. I have the timing down but I'm not really paying attention to my macros, just *trying* to eat less carbs. It's been 8 days and my hunger levels are down so much
Are you still maintaining that calorie intake of 370 a day with your 16-8 intermittent fasting? It doesn't seem sustainable to me hopefully you have increased it. For nutrition purposes if anything I know it's been a year since you've commented. But I have just ran into this RUclips and I love reading the comments. Just thought I'd comment on your comment.

Dr. Fung, Your work is changing so many lives. There might be no interest in PCOS from academia or the drug companies, but there is a huge interest from all of the heart broken women out there struggling with infertility.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at 14 and told that the best treatment was birth control. If I wanted kids, it would probably be impossible, since I only got one menstrual cycle every year or two, but I could try fertility treatments when I was ready.
Fast forward to my mid 20s. I found your work and read “The PCOS Plan.” I started doing one meal a day and in 10 months, I lost 100lbs and started getting regular menstrual cycles for the first time. I’m currently 8 months pregnant with a little boy who I conceived naturally on the first try! Thank you for everything!
Wow awesome 🎉❤️
Have you cut down all kind of carbs forever? 🥺 please tell us!
@@lailab4147 I have definitely reduced my carb intake, but I still let myself enjoy the foods I like from time to time. I still eat rice, bread, fruit, etc. I just try to make that the smallest portion on my plate. Most of my plate should be meat and veggies.
For sweet treats, I try to use liquid stevia with no added sweeteners (check the ingredients) or monk fruit/ erythritol to make sweet teas, coffees, ice creams, whipped cream etc. I’ve sort of gotten to the point now where my body isn’t used to sugar, so if I eat regular sweets, I get a headache, so that’s a pretty good deterrent for me.
I mostly rely on fasting to keep my insulin levels down. I find it easier to eat what I want, in reasonable portions once a day than to not get what I want but eat multiple times a day.
I had my baby last month and I’m back on OMAD again and I’m feeling great! I can’t wait to get the baby weight off.
You gonna name him jason?
@@orandachildren1051 No, but that’s a good idea.
Dear Dr Jason. Thank you for all your advice. I have seen all your videos and learnt how to fast. I was 352lb and now after 1.5years I am 165lb. I reversed my Type 2 diabetic. Thank you for saving my life. God bless you. ❤️❤️

Does anyone know ? Please tell me do I still take my sugar meds still ? I’m worried I might get too low so how do I test my body to do it on it’s own?
I tried fasting here and there for 2 months exactly. After years of several different doctor's trying to give me a hysterectomy, I went back for an ultrasound to check on cysts and growth and they were GONE!
I AM A BELIEVER! I will continue to share this information! THANK YOU!

Great.
Kindly share more info on how to get rid of growths and fibroids

I have listened to more Dr. Jason Fung presentations and podcast interviews than probably any other physician or researcher that occupies the low carb space. His clinical insight, and his uncanny way of distilling concepts down into common sense and humorous analogies, just makes him the perfect teacher. Thank you for having him on your podcast.
I'm from the other side of the fence. I listened to a bunch of other figures first, before encountering Jason Fung. I agree, he inserts a lot of pedestrian perspective, to help people get on the bandwagon, and that's where the fence is. Others (Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick, Bret Scher, Dave Feldman) can be unapologetically technical.
@@wearashirt Exactly. While I consider myself an educated layman when it comes to matters of health and science in general, Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Rhonda Patrick can overwhelm a lot of scientifically well versed laymen with the level of scientific detail that they explore in their respective podcasts and interviews. While I appreciate the depth of their knowledge, in order to reach a broader audience, the plainspoken and accessible style of Dr. Fung tends to be the best route.
Drake, I agree with you. I've listened to so many but Dr. Fung is the best! I even watch some of his interviews 2 and 3 times!

Thank you Dr.Fung & Dr. Scher; fascinating stuff!
This host is the absolute best! He's knowledgeable, he KNOWS when and what to ask and he's not overbearing like most of the others who find it hard to allow Dr. Fung to speak in peace. A wonderful podcast with such amazing information. I learnt so much! Thank you gentlemen.

Unfortunately no, big pharma will block his nomination 🤫
Dr. Jason Fung is my hero! I started a keto diet in February of this year (recommended by my doctor), and have since lost 50 pounds. I've been watching his videos for inspiration since the beginning, and started 16/8 intermittent fasting around April. It felt like a natural transition.
Last month, I finally read his book, "The Obesity Code," and everything else fell into place. No more guilt about being a "lazy person" all my life, because now I know the factor that hormones played to get me where I was in February. Dr. Fung has given me the knowledge and tools to counter those hormones!
Now, if I have a stressful day and the though of a sweet treat pops into my head, I know it's not me that craves the treat; it's the cortisol talking. Then I simply tell cortisol to piss off. LOL! If I have a family event and eat off plan, I simply fast the next 24 hours to get back on track.
Thank you, Dr. Fung!
Congratulations!!
@@ILOVE2FeelGOOD Thanks!
@Marianne Here's an article on the topic by Dr. Fung: idmprogram.com/closer-look-cortisol-hormonal-obesity-xxxx/
Hi carbs are unfulfilling after a while away from them. They are s bit gross.
Marianne a third of the Carnivore community seems to be ex-Vegans who got real sick. Veganism is not for everyone apparently. I suppose you have to supplement a lot. I wish you the best of luck.
the biggest thing that the internet world isn't talking about during this fascinating discussion between 2 medically trained doctors as it pertains to diet, insulin resistance and intermittent fasting is that there wasn't 1 RUclips ad in it
❤❤
I started alternate daily fasting just this week in an attempt to improve my insulin sensitivity. I am insulin resistant, having PCOS since in my 20’s, skin tags, had gestational diabetes in all three of my pregnancies and am about 25 pounds overweight. My mom passed away at a young 63 due to complications from diabetes and my older sister is on insulin. The writing is on the wall for me so I’m doing what I can to improve my health. I do daily walks most of the time and my next move is to go to a low carbohydrate lifestyle. All things are possible for the one who believes. Thanks Dr. Fung for your critical work and thanks for all those channels that share the information.
Hello, I read your post and the “skin tag” reference got my attention. What does this have to do with your condition? Curious because I am developing skiing tags more that ever before.
Well diabetes messes with your hormones so maybe that's why people get skin tags, I guess skin tags may have something to do with hormones possible PCOS or sometimes may have to with a wart type of virus
@@crystalclear6824 skin tags may be an indication of metabolic syndrome.
Susie B Skin tags are a sign of pre Diabetes.
@@crystalclear6824 insulin grows skin tags. If you have diabetes, or pre diabetes, you get skin tags. Mine are gradually falling off. I try to keep my insulin levels as low as possible. No sugar. no starch. Mostly Carnivore. Heredity. My family is extremely sensitive to carbs. . Salad raises my blood sugar. Ive been keto for a year and carnivore for 6 weeks. I recently started intermittent fasting. I've lost 3 inches off my stomach. I will stay this way. I bought Dr Fungs books. I can feel a difference. Less headaches. Less Inflammation. I am 67
.
I can confirm. I completely cured my PCOS with fasting and I had PCOS for over 15 years. My doctor even surprised. She said it looks like I never had PCOS before. lol. Thanks to Dr Jason Fung for studying and sharing this knowledge to us who have been suffering due to some disease the doctors did not have intentions to cure us.
Did you cut all carbs forever or could have them sometimes after your fasting?
That's amazing I didn't think it was reversible. What tests did you get to confirmed you cured your PCOS?
They dont know how to cure and dont want to confess that. Our medicals schools are to blame. Doctors are afraid of shaking off fundamental lies they learnt at those schools.
I and my husband two years back at 6.2 al1c prediabetic and we do 2MAD and OMAD .
WE ARE NOW AT 4.4
Thank you so much
You deserve a crown .
You're the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥💯💯
Dr. Jason Fung saved my life...am really thankful...
As a Pre-Diabetic with an aggressive Cancer Mutation...as well as a double Cancer Survivor...I tell everyone I know struggling with health issues (Obesity, Cancer, Diabetes) about Dr. Jason Fung. His book the Obesity Code has changed my life. My A1C and Blood Glucose is dropping as well as some additional weight. I sleep better and feel so much better. This is truly an Anti-Cancer protocol. Thank you Dr. Fung.
in 2017 I was diagnosed with diabetes. One of the people I listened (via RUclips) to was Dr Jason Fung. I changed my diet to around 80% vegetables, rainbow food (I do eat meat but within the 20%). I do intermittent fasting. Now, no medication, all health markers normal. So, thanks Dr Fung.
AusforAus try Chlorella pills.
Great
I have lost 58 pounds in 74 days on keto and rotating from 18/6 to 48 hr fast to OMAD to 72 hr fast, etc. went from 320 to 262. Went from the last hole on my belt to the first hole. Eczema is gone. Headache issues are nearly gone. Life changing.
Good job!
Thank you. Just 2 days of intermittent fasting has dropped my sugar by 150 counts!
So I'll continue fasting.
Thank you Doctor Jason.
Dr. Jason Fung is the man.
I'm a Fungster
The world will never know how many lives he has changed!!!!!!🖤
The message was good, Probably doctors before him have said the same thing. But the messenger is vital in changing people's minds. There's an emotional component to leaving crap food behind, and not eating any food for a few days. Dr. Fung's combination of plain language and sarcasm helped (and continues to help) me take the big leap.
Dr. Fung is my personal hero, no exaggeration.
Ok, I’ve read Obesity Code and now watched this. It’s official, unless it come out of Dr Fung’s mouth it isn’t true. He makes so much sense. I could listen to him talk for hours!
Dr Sten Ekberg is good too but I have a confession to make - I look at a photo of the person doing the talking and if they don't look fit and healthy for their age I don't watch. There are too many fat and flabby 'experts' with double chins out there. I'm not naming any names.
Fung is great, and this interviewer knows his job, lets the guests speak, does not say a lot himself although he knows a lot of the stuff the guests are talking about
I have a friend who may lose a toe and is suffering greatly from her diabetes. I’ve shared your video and pray she listens and also shares with her doctor.
I’m so sad for all the people who’ve suffered from illnesses due to high sugar consumption.
And her mother let me know she lost her left big toe 😢
Sorry to hear that about your friend.
She may have lost a toe but you sharing this with her may help her save her from further amputation of a foot or worse; leg. I work with geriatric amputees that have lost limbs due to diabetes to help them walk or improve mobility in a wheelchair. It saddens me which is why I am more determined to stick with a Keto diet to be healthy.
My cousin lost his leg behind Diabetes...it didn't have to be this way for him, but he was lazy, co-dependant, and played different kinds of games with himself (mentally) as opposed to taking himself seriously, and he lost his leg 😔... I know enough about Diabetes today to know that's 1 of the easiest diseases to overcome.

Dr Jason Fung,
Thank you, Sir, for providing us with all of this excellent health information for free. I and many others truly appreciate your help in overcoming our health issues. God bless you, in Jesus' name.☺️
I’m very thankful for Dr. Fung, I have PCOS and have went through 2 miscarriages so far.. I’m 34 years old and suffer with insulin resistance and so far I’ve been eating once a day and gave up sugar completely. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 1 month and I’m now heading into my second month.. I have 100 pounds more to lose and I’m hoping once I get my weight down that just maybe I can have a child with my husband ❤
I would like to thank you Dr. J. Fung, I tried intermittent fasting, the first time, my body can't take it, at the middle of the night I become hungry, but I was not discouraged I tried it, doing 16 hours fasting, I'm 75 years old and diabetic taking insulin, now I'm very confident doing the 16 hours fasting, My insulin intake before is 16 to 18 units, 3x a day, now its 10 units 3x a day, My weight is 160 pounds, 5'5 in height, still doing intermitted fasting 2 or 3 times a week depending how I feel. Thank you, Dr. Jason Fung.
Look into gallbladder/liver- and parasite cleansing.
@Mr. R
Have done myself few GL cleanses as instructed by Andreas Moritz, with good results; especially when in combinatiom with Coffee Emema (to prevent auto-intoxification), but those who are older may prefer a more gentle approach - Lipophilic cleansing without adding Epsom salts - as John Douillard advises: www.elephantjournal.com/2014/12/the-detox-methods-that-are-actually-proven-to-work/
All that a person needs to do for a liver cleanse is to do a water fast. That allows the body to use up any fat that's stored in the liver, pancrease, other organs, abdomen, and subcutaneous fat cells. When the fat is removed, the liver, pancrease, and other body parts can do the jobs they have evolved to do. Drinking tea and coffee is ok, too, on the fast. Go to Jason Fung's Intensive Dietary Management website for all the details if how to do the fast.
To clean out the gallbladder, eat sufficient fats when you do eat. When we eat fats, the body triggers the gallbladder to release the stored bile into the intestine so that the fat can be digested. If we don't eat sufficient animal fats, the bile stays in the gallbladder and can form gallstones. Ask Dr. Fung for information about how to get rid of the gallstones. He probably has had plenty of patients who had gallstones. Don't eat the seed-oil fats: corn, vegetable, canola, sunflower, etc. Read "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz to find out why. Instead, eat the fruit oils (coconut, olive, and avocado) and the animal fats.
Wonderful. I've realized that I wasn't really hungry when I felt like eatting in the middle of the night... I just felt like snacking, but overcame that after about 2 mos. I've only done 2 long fasts for over 40 hrs. The other times I only do 20:4
75 come on enjoy life.. whats the point trying to be young again ,,
My father back in the 60s told us we should always go to bed a little bit hungry.
Just meals nothing in between. I was skinny until I left home and all his advice fell on deaf ears.
Now in my 60s I realise how right he was and he was not a medical person. Just believed in health and fitness.
Wow, I never put it together until reading your comment. One set of grandparents lived super healthy and vibrant lives well into their 80s, and I am talking white-water rafting in their late 70s and my grandfather moving me into my dorm in his early 80s, carried my footlocker up 4 flights of stairs on his back. They ate meat or fish and veg but not starchy veg, eggs for breakfast, 3 meals only no snacking, and dinner was at 5 pm. I always chalked it up to Grandpa's Jack LaLane habit and their simple diet and distaste for sugar, but never put it together that they also practiced intermittent fasting all those years!
He's right, snacking between meals is dangerous for health. It gave me acid reflux.
My 93 year old father says to this day that he stops eating before he's full and that everyone should do that.
Dr Jason, is the only Doctor I can confidently listen to during this pandemic.
My father in law is 79 he takes zero medication . He fasts as muslim tradition requires twice a week : Thursdays and Mondays
MashaAllah, I want to do that too.
yaiche rabah My grandfather was muslin, but his traditions were not pass on to me, now I want to explore some of this. He was also very healthy and lived to his nineties.
How many hours does he fast ?
Angela 12 to 16
@@ayyb6789 The precise hours are since it's based on the lunar calendar is, sunrise to sunset will be your fasting hours. Dr. Mosely based his research on this and wrote a book called the "alternate day fasting" or commonly known as 5/2 Diet.
This is "dry" fast so no water or food whats so ever. Muslims also do Ramadam once a year for a full month.
Now my advice to you is this, if you want to lose weight and be healthy, do not do the 5/2 diet which says to eat 500 calories during the fasting days (this will make you very hungry). Do What Dr. Jason Fung advises, One Day A Meal or OMAD as it's known. You can apply it to Mon and Thursday and you will benefit from it. Then you will be so happy with the results that you could do it 7 days a week and eventually move onto eating whole foods such as in Keto diet and there you have a lifestyle change that will bring you a LOT of health benefit.
I am eating this stuff up (waits for sarcastic laughter). 24 days Keto...first 15 10lbs....then came fasting (4) 24 hour fasts so far and have dropped another 17 pounds....so 27 combined pounds gone in 24 days with treadmill daily after not at all for years. Dr Fung is all I talk about now...to the extent people around me will stop eating at work just shut me up :)
Ty how's it going
I been doing 22:2 hours fast everday for a month with jogging and brisk walking 20km 6 times a week.. Lost 35lbs so far
You are jogging/walking 12 miles a day 6 days a week?! That's intense
Awesome video!!!!! Thanks Dr. Fung!!!!! Holy moly....no one, EVEN MY GYN ever explained WHY I had a cyst on my ovary that she had to remove during my hysterectomy at age 42.... I have been Keto and IF for 4.5 months and feel great! I had some insulin resistance at the beginning of my Keto/IF journey, but am now doing well. I’ve lost weight and feel fantastic. I wasn’t very overweight before, but I was carrying extra pounds and HAD a fatty liver...not any longer...!!!
Well.... youre Hot as *uck baby ! Deliciously so . Keep going beautifull 😉😍
The gyne have no idea. I was on spironolactone for 20 years for hormonal acne. Too much androgen. Why? The doctors didn't know. Well it turns out that high blood pressure causes high androgens and high blood pressure os often caused by high insulin. So when I did alt day fasting, it dropped my insulin and the acne disappeared in 3 days after plaguing me my entire adult life. When I told my gyne, she looked at me like I had sprouted horns.
If doctors stay smug and stupid, Dr. Google is going to kick their butts and make them irrelevant. Dr. Fung is a rare gem. A doctor actually interested in fixing the problem, not managing it.
I never get tired of hearing Dr. Fung. Just an amazing person.
This is so fascinating....I listen while I paint - I am now a full-time artist as I lost the job I had just begun with British Airways last year. It is amazing how much I’m learning. I have now stopped eating sugar, white flour etc and have a low carb diet which has transformed my digestive system completely! No more tummy ache, IBS, uncomfortable feelings after eating etc. I’m 51 yes old. I am super focused on producing more paintings than I ever imagined! Nutritional education is something that seriously needs to be completely re understood by everyone. It needs to be taught far more thoughtfully and thoroughly in medical school and in schools generally. We need to wise up to the power of advertising all the wrong food and the power of big pharmaceuticals selling drugs we perhaps don’t need. Perhaps we should eat like our ancestors did? Perhaps it all went wrong with the advent of farming years ago? Why did we need to start growing grains etc if we were actually healthier on a low-carb diet? Is it all about money? Probably. Interesting thought. 🎨
It's always a pleasure to listen to Dr Jason Fung. This man is so knowledgeable and truthful!

You can eat oil if it’s healthy oil, e.g. coconut oil, safflower oil, organic butter. And actually you don’t need that much water. 2-3 cups a day is fine. More people die of too much water as it flushes out your nutrients. The body isn’t made out of 70% water. The ‘liquids’ in our body are blood, minerals, Electrolytes.
I had boils , infections inside my nose, nasal dripping and continuous sore throat for the last 3 years. Doctors were not sure why antibiotics were not working or my boils are not healing. I have seen numerous doctors and different types of specialists to find cure to my chronic illness. I was also very tired and weak because of the continuing infections. In the last month my eyes started to hurt a lot and I was having major headaches. I also had sone symptoms like frequent urinating and feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight , feeling sleepy after lunch or dinner and they were getting worse each year. I was still pretty thin because I ‘m always careful about what I eat. When my eyes hurt even more after using some antibiotics that was it for me . I stopped taking antibiotics and started doing OMAD and low carb diet. ( I still eat some fruits everyday ) I m doing one day 19-20 hours next day 25-26 hours IF . It’s been only a week now and I am feeling so much better. I feel like 70 percent of my infections are gone. My eyes stopped hurting on the 2 nd day or so and getting better each day. I will eat this way for a month and will switch to omad everyday and fast for 26 -28 hours once a week. I might do IF in some days 16:8 or 18-6 depending on my schedule but I want to do mostly omad with 22:2 . I feel less weak and much less sick righr now. It also helped me with the mood swings . I feel happier. I am pretty sure I was prediabetic. I was already diagnosed for having hypoglycemia in 2010. Doctors told me to eat every 3 hours. I did it and it made me feel much worse. Now I am hoping to cure myself completely with OMAD.
How are you doing now a year later. I think fasting is the best thing in one meal a day.
dear soul....god bless you..you will get ok
Dr. Scher, you are such a good host! Dr.Fung I salute you for being outstandingly courageous, hard working and well-meaning person.
Dr. Jason Fung, you're a blessing from God. Thank you so much for openning our eyes. You're super logical and am a super fan. I'm a type 2 diabetic for 13 years and I'm on 40 units of novomix insuline. I started on 16/8 intermittent fasting and low carb diet last May 25. And I'm getting very good glucose reading. I'm just injecting enough insuline to avoid spikes, ie working on the average. I'm now on 16 units insuline. I switched to 18/6 intmt fasting last June 19 and I went down to 10 units insuline. Hopefully, I'll be out of insuline in a month. Thank you again. I have great respect for you. And may God bless you and protect you and your family always.
With your IF 16/8, what do you actually eat during the 8? Thank you Sir
Thank you! Two months in and I’ve lost 26 pounds, I’m no longer pre-diabetic and I with one meal a day, I have more time in my day.
Dr Fung adds sanity to the question of living healthier. Fasting is not a diet. It is regulating when you eat, not what you eat. But you can choose to change your diet in addition to fasting. I have been fasting for about 6 months, eating only between 12 noon and 6pm. I am still losing weight (181-162lbs) and feeling pretty well. Start slow and adjust your fasting to get the results you want. It is free and even cheaper because you might be spending less for food.
since I found Dr.Fung 13 month ago on youTube my life has changed-after 50 years Im in the *normal weight zone* and a BMI of 25 coming from 32 16/8 since then, some 36 to 42 hours fasting- its a wonderful life 💞💞✌️💪👍Thank you so much
Don't be too much concerned about BMI - they change it - as they do with BP and cholesterol numbers.
MY chemotherapy was so severe that I could not eat and lost 30lbs in 4 weeks. I often wondered, later after learning about fasting, if the effect was more about fasting and not so much about ingesting the poison (cisplatin). But 15 years later from my stage 4 tonsil cancer, I practice OMAD to keep healthy.

When i just diagnosed that i have diabetes. The diet guideline told me i have to eat to lower my blood sugar. It didn't any sense until i run into Dr. FUNG's channel. I wish i saw his channel 15 yrs ago. I am doing OMAD and hoping to do 36hrs IF. So far lost 20 lbs, sugar is much more controllable.
Thx for all the great info Dr. Fung, im 20lbs down and maintaining it. Hardest part of losing weight isnt losing it, its maintaining it.
I had PCOS and was undergoing fertility treatment which was so stressful my mental health was at risk. I lost 4 stone and started to ovulate naturally and became pregnant immediately. I'm sure Dr Fung is right. The worst thing was the horrible way I was treated at the Infertility clinic, like it was my fault.
Dr. Jason Fung you sir are making a real difference. I too have lost weight and feel great with out spending a single penny. Thank you for my heart.
Merci beaucoup. Je suis d'accord avec vous.
I love Dr. Jason
He is such cool guy, with massive information, I have been watching him, I can’t get enough of his information, such a positive guy
Remember the entire medical "industry" survives by people being sick and just treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause. it is great to see soo many views on this video. Please everybody tell at least 3 people you know about this video.
My female issues and PCOS over the past decades have been fully explained in a way I have never heard before but omg it makes total sense! Nothing else I have read medical or physiological over the years ever passed the test for me. I am 53 now and started Keto and fasting in 2016 and a follower of Fung just never heard him speak on this. Will eat the low carb/fasting way for life.
Hi,
I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome too and didn't really know all that much about it.
I followed Dr Jason Fung's advice and others within the low carb community, and lost 42lbs within 4 months.
I now understand a lot more about metabolic disease.
I wish you the best with the rest of your journey.
I'm so glad you both are doing something about it. My pcos finally led to breast cancer. Please make your health #1 to reduce risks. I'm the only woman in my family of 8 women with breast cancer after late pcos diagnosis.

@@revcea123 I started keto last year & lost 12lbs. All my aching joints went away. I was a bit too late. Er+pr+ breast cancer made it's way. Looking back, I was high insulin for years. They say they caught it pretty early, but I'll no longer follow doctors blindly. I should know better, my Mom lost her life early doing that very same thing. Three doctors told me that I had a 1% chance of getting cancer in my other breast. An MRI gave me a clean bill of health. I did my own research & went with double mastectomy. After surgery they told us my right breast tissue was riddled with precancerous cells. We must be our own advocates. Be well
Both of you rock. 2 doctors who actually want to help people. Unlike conventional drs who just push pills. Thank you both.
Dr. Jason Fung.. really good way to explain it and make it easy to understand.
Totally agree.
as a nurse I worked for an endocrinologist and we had quite a few patients that learned they could decrease or eliminate all together their type 2 diabetes meds by eating a low carb high fat diet. that was a few years ago and now the empirical knowledge has opened the doors to the Keto, Carnivore diet and Intermittent fasting with great and remarkable results for many people with much less hunger. what the country needs now is real science to promote our best health, not the antiquated, junk science that got us here, with the standard American diet, in the first place. we have to get Big Agra and its money out of our nutrition politics. and while we're at it, lets get Big Pharma's money and junk science out of vaccines, too. we're entering another period of scientific enlightenment, hopefully.
Liz Keith Unfortunately subjective logic and the use of the Hegelian Dialectic helps to create artificial problems and solutions. The majority of the public just want solutions without having to figure it out on their own

The Information needs to spread across the globe. People are dying everywhere cuz insulin overdose medications. Freaking crazy
This is a goldmine that I am beyond grateful to come upon. On year 5 of IF-ing, and I love finding data to support continuing the practice along with drinking a gallon of Kangen water 9.5 pH every day. I’m my own experiment, and I’m excited to stay youthful and healthy for decades without ever needing any Big Pharma product. Cheers to our always improving health.
Once I started doing IF, my weight control became so easy. I work out 3 times a week while in IF. My BMI has been at 21 for a few years now. I try to stay low carb, but I can eat just about anything I want.
If there was a way to 'superlike' this video I would!
Dr Fung, you have changed my life. Thank you. Gracias.
I have been doing intermittent fasting (one meal per day) keto-carnivore diet, since more than two years ago, I have seen all the doctor Fung videos since I started this way of life. And this is one of best videos on this issue. Thanks very much for it to both of you.
I dropped 20 pounds following this. My blood pressure is perfect and I definitely feel and look younger.
i don't to call this an interview. i'd rather call this a sitdown, a conversation between too well-minded people.
much love to the fungster 💪🏼💕💖
Thank you so much for a brilliant talk always love to listen to Dr Jason Fung.
I wished all this podcast were available in other languages. I would love to share this with my mother, but she only speaks Spanish
I followed his videos, went on a 5 day OMAD, cheat on weekends by eating 2x a day. Walked my dog 4 to 6 kms every day. Now I'm out of T2D & HBP meds because my doctors said so. Thank you so much Dr. Jason Fung 🙏🙏
How long did it take for you to go off your meds? How much weight did you lose?
On my last hour of first 24 hour fast right now, watching this as a distraction and motivation. Dinner to dinner, last 4 hours takes will power.
It gets easier. Do keto and the fasting becomes effortless. I am breaking a 42 hour fast now.
what a man ! He helped save my life. I reversed t2 diabeties with his help. October 2017 my blood sugar level was Hba1c 65. March 2018 Hba1c 49. June 2018 Hba1c 40. Its been under 40 ever since ( ranging from 36- 39, latest 38 ). You are a star
How did u get hb1ca levels down
@@jameshunt7884 Through a low carb ( not low calorie) full fat diet. I am vegetarian, so it was more difficult, but if you are a meat eater, then look for ketogenic diet. Get rid of Grains Potatoes and Sugar ( GPS). A way of working our net carbs is to look at Carbs, minus fibre. This is because fibre delays carbs from being turned into blood sugar.
@ironjohnlad thanks very much for fast reply and how u were able.to do it mate
I have been watching all Dr. Scher´s podcasts and I follow Dr. Fung as well. Seeing them in a conversation - brilliant!
Dear Dr Jason. Thank you for your work. I have read all your books and learnt how to fast. reversed my Type 2 diabetis and I love to fast now. I understand the benifit for cancer prevention. God bless you. ❤❤
The best my partners diabetes has ever been is on keto and fasting. Thank you for all these videos for motivating me and in return I can motivate him and also teaching us that we can have more control over our wellness.
he talks about PCOS 39:49 for anyone interested
Thanks 🙂
Dr Fung started it all for me back in 2016. I owe my health and beauty to his teaching on ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. I can't thank him enough for his fridge-freezer video!
Please post a link
Dr. Jason Fung, I've been praying for a plan to lose weight for me and my husband, I believe God led us to your podcast and your youtube posts, we started doing intermittent fasting for a week now and feels so much better. Thank you so much and God bless you!!!
All diabetes meds gone in weeks. Then 150 lbs lost over 5 years with no exercise. Still losing. No weight regain. Takes no effort anymore. Never hungry. Feel like I'm just getting started. In this for life.
I now have more energy so im just naturally more active. But no workouts.
Dear Dr Jason. Thank you for all your life saver videos. Fasting blood glucose went down from 9.8 to 5 in just 2 month
I could listen to him speak for hours and hours. Very insightful information and pretty much going against the status quo.
22 pounds (10 kg) down so far doing a combination of full day fasts and OMAD (always breakfast). Weekends eat and drink whatever. I'm at about 4 kg (8.8 pounds) from my ideal weight. 1 kg (2.2 pounds) avg. weight loss per week.
Wow. Congratulations! Very inspiring.
Saved to favorites, love that Dr Fung is now helping to extend our lives. Thx for the upload.
I looooove Dr. Fung his point of view and explanation from a doctor’s perspective it makes SOOOO MUCH SENSE! Hopefully all doctors will learn from him 👊🏻💕
Great Video. Thanks, Dr. Fung. I have all your books and I got hooked onto fasting. You are so right that today it is considered normal to eat every two hours. Even the trainers at the gym - new graduates from school - learn that 3 meals are vital and that snacks are beneficial for the blood sugar. By the way, when you said "I should have zero muscle" ....in response to claims of fasting opponents, I had to grin. You are sooo right.
Very Inspiring listening on how Dr. Fung explain the important aspects of IF. I listen to him most of the time for inspiration.
I am so thankful that I found Dr. Fung, I am learning so much from his work. I appreciate all of his knowledge. I also appreciate that he works closely with Dr. Bickman
it's controversial because he bucks the norm of typical doctor and nutrition advice to eat 3 to 4 meals a day. Fasting isn't going to bring much business to doctors if patients can heal themselves so I'm sure mainstream medicine sees him as a threat .
My endocrinologist, Dr. Ross Del Fierro told me about Dr. Fung's book "The Obesity Factor." Really like the book and read it twice. 🏆
I notice when I fast my muscles get bigger and harder and then when I am not fasting they are more fluffy and squishy. I see the change without exercise. MY skin is like new after years of fasting doing 24 or 72 hours.
I totally agree! I bodybuild and do powerlifting.
Growth hormone and dumping inflammation makes me so much stronger with fasting.
So true! When I workout on a fast I feel the response, the “lift” feels better! I honestly think I gain more during my fast than non fasting workouts
I see and feel it in skin as well
HGH increases after 36 hour of fasting.. Hence you get more gains, same with taking creatine and melatonin which spikes your HGH levels. However melatonin can cause joint pain in people with auto immune disorders.
My hypothyroidism is being reversed due to Keto/Carnivore, IF and EF. My meds have been lowered 4 times since March 2019, I go back in 6 weeks for more bloodwork. I've had hypothyroidism for 25 years and this is the 1st time that it has been lowered, even when I was living the Atkins lifestyle it never once was lowered.
Tammy Harper have you had the operation?
@@No_Frills_Carnivore no just don't eat gluten anymore and it's reversing my hypothyroidism. I'm almost Carnivore and that's also helped.
Tammy Harper thats cool. I wish I never caved and had the op.. them doctors smh..
Dr Bret, you are a terrific interviewer! Spot on! Thank you!
Thank you so much Dr Jason for sharing! I’m practicing all your teaching but not quite sure if I applied it right but! my tummy trimmed and over passed the hunger and used eating twice a day, I’m so much happy what I am now! Thanks a million Dr Jason!!!!
What a wonderful interview again. Thanks Dr Bret. Dr Fung is not only knowledgeable, he is inspiring and compassionate.
Starting day 5 of 16/8 fasting schedule with low carb diet, my fasting blood sugar has already dropped 90 points! Thank you Dr. Fung! I am hopeful I will not need to go back on medication!
I stopped Soda drinks and sugar my blood pressure dropped from 149/101 to 137/89 my doctor is puzzled and wants to keep monitoring me, I'm also going low carb, this is encouraging.
Thank you Dr. Jason Fung. I started viewing your videos after I had a mild stroke, affecting speech, aphasia in 2014. I've been a fan and sharing your videos eversince. I listen to your podcast while I take my walks. I get inspired as I exercise. Thank you for all you do for us who want to win back our health❤
Dr. Jason, thank you so much
Go 'head Dr. Fung with you bad self! Drop that knowledge!! ❤️❤️
Excellent interview, thank you! Dr. Fung is an expert in this area.
Wow, Wow,Wow!!! Never been one for words like these,I am absolutely lost for words, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.!!!
Wow!! Just wow!! I'm totally sharing!!!!
Great info. Dr Fung is a bright light for humanity to understand how we can exist without conditions that take living to the fullest away. ☺️
Thank you Dr. Jason for sharing the knowledge.
I'm doing modified alternate day fasting now. 370 calories every other day with daily 16/8 intermittent fasting. I have the timing down but I'm not really paying attention to my macros, just *trying* to eat less carbs. It's been 8 days and my hunger levels are down so much
Are you still maintaining that calorie intake of 370 a day with your 16-8 intermittent fasting?
It doesn't seem sustainable to me hopefully you have increased it. For nutrition purposes if anything I know it's been a year since you've commented. But I have just ran into this RUclips and I love reading the comments. Just thought I'd comment on your comment. God bless I hope you're maintaining your lifestyle
