Episode Details

Today’s episode is very close to my heart as I have a personal experience with diabetes. My father developed Type II Diabetes and I have watched him struggle with this disease. It was a very difficult time of my life. Ever since he passed away five years ago, I set out and study diabetes and why my fathers doctors’ advice did not work.

This is a throwback episode from a KKP classic, episode 24 with Dr Jason Fung. 

I came across the book The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung where he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good. The information that I now know would’ve saved my father’s life. Which is why I fully support Dr. Jason Fung’s, today’s guest, on his mission to spread as much information on diabetes and intermittent fasting to help as many people as possible.

Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist. He’s a world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes. He has written four best-selling health books.

Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor where they make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health.

In this episode, we break down every single thing you need to know about calories, obesity, diabetes and intermittent fasting. Sit tight and enjoy!

[00:17] How Dr. Fung got into the health space, particularly nephrology

• As a Math and Science person, Dr. Fung initially thought he would pursue the field of engineering.
• He then decided that being a physician was more fitted to his style.
  • After years in the university, he figured that he was also invested in doing research.
  • As a physician, he can help people and do some research at the same time.
• In choosing a specialty, Dr. Fung felt that Nephrology suited his personality better. Nephrology is a complex specialty which is sort of a thinking-person speciality unlike cardiology which is more of an action specialty (i.e surgery)

[4:13] Diabetes, Obesity and Intermittent Fasting

• The most common and important cause of kidney disease is Type II Diabetes which is closely related to weight gain and obesity.
  • Treating kidney diseases with medications is the least effective way to treat people.
  • You have to look at the root cause of the disease in order to be successful in treating it. Which is why, for Dr. Fung, the real question was “what causes weight gain?”

• Second question: What are you gonna do about it?
