In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we explore the groundbreaking work of Dr. Jason Fung, a physician who challenges the outdated "calories in, calories out" model of weight management. Instead, he places the focus where it belongs: on hormones—especially insulin—as the true regulators of fat storage and energy use.

We dive into Dr. Fung’s clinical experiences treating patients with diabetic kidney disease and how conventional approaches, including insulin therapy, often led to weight gain and worsened outcomes. Learn why aggressive blood sugar control doesn’t always prevent complications, how intermittent fasting and low-carb eating promote fat burning, and why ultra-processed foods sabotage your body’s natural satiety cues.

🎧 Tune in to hear how rethinking insulin's role could change everything about how we approach weight loss and type 2 diabetes.
