Join us for a fascinating dive into Dr. Jason Fung's revolutionary book, The Obesity Code. For decades, we've been told that losing weight is as simple as balancing "calories in" versus "calories out," and that eating less while exercising more is the ultimate solution. But if that strategy is so foolproof, why are global obesity rates still skyrocketing?

In this episode, we shatter the "calorie deception" and uncover the real biological culprit behind weight gain: a hormonal imbalance. We'll explore how the hormones insulin and cortisol act as a thermostat to regulate your "body set weight" and dictate whether your body stores energy as fat or burns it. We will also discuss why frequent snacking, sugar, and refined carbohydrates keep you trapped in a vicious cycle of insulin resistance. Finally, we'll reveal the practical, time-tested solution to breaking this cycle and taking back control of your health—intermittent fasting. Tune in to completely change the way you think about food, fat, and your metabolism!
