Jason Fung

What breaks a fast? Does tea, or coffee or cream or sugar break the fast? How about diet soda? Dr Jason Fung discusses what you can take during a fast and how this affects weight loss. These fasting variations can still be very effective for weight loss. Check out my blog at https://medium.com/@drjasonfung

Why intermittent fasting is much more effective for weight loss than simple calorie restriction. Fasting allows insulin to fall which allows the body to use its stores of body fat for energy, where simple cutting of calories may or may not do so. Just cutting calories does not fix the hormonal changes of obesity. Check out my blog at https://medium.com/@drjasonfung

🌟 Fasting and Kidney Disease: Can Fasting Reverse Kidney Damage? | Scientific Insights

In this video, we explore the fascinating link between fasting and its potential to improve various types of kidney diseases, including diabetic kidney disease, glomerular diseases, and polycystic kidney disease. Backed by groundbreaking scientific research and studies on both humans and animals, we dive into how fasting impacts nutrient sensors like insulin and mTOR to promote healing and reduce inflammation।

🔍 What’s Covered in This Video:
1️⃣ Diabetic Kidney Disease Reversal:
➡ Discover how a fasting-mimicking diet reduced protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney disease severity।

2️⃣ Mechanisms of Healing:
➡ How fasting affects nutrient sensors (insulin and mTOR) to reduce growth signals, fibrosis, and scarring।

3️⃣ Impact on Glomerular Diseases:
➡ Insights into how fasting reduces inflammation in autoimmune kidney diseases like IgA nephropathy, membranous nephritis, and MPGN।

4️⃣ Polycystic Kidney Disease:
➡ How fasting and caloric restriction normalize kidney size and function in this genetic disease।

5️⃣ Human and Animal Studies:
➡ Highlights from human trials and rat studies that demonstrate the potential of fasting to protect kidney health।

🎯 Why Watch This Video?
➡ Understand the science behind fasting and kidney disease reversal।
➡ Learn about new treatments beyond traditional, toxic drugs like prednisone।
➡ Explore how fasting may stimulate regenerative processes in the kidneys।

✨ Key Takeaways:
🔹 Fasting lowers inflammation markers like CRP and growth factors like IGF-1, which are critical in autoimmune and chronic kidney diseases।
🔹 Fasting-mimicking diets reduce kidney damage and promote healing at the cellular level।
🔹 Fasting offers promising solutions for reducing proteinuria and improving kidney function।

💡 Who Should Watch:
✔ Patients and caregivers looking for alternative kidney disease treatments।
✔ Medical students and professionals seeking insights into fasting’s health benefits।
✔ Anyone interested in the science of fasting and chronic disease management।

Dr. Jason Fung shares why calorie counting doesn't work. Our hormones control how many calories we eat (Calories In) and our metabolic rate (Calories Out), so losing weight means we need to fix this hormonal imbalance, not just eat a few less calories.

Most people are told to eat less, count calories, and “try harder.”
But what if that advice is the real reason so many people struggle with weight and health?
In this broadcast, we dive deep into why controlling hunger matters more than counting calories, and how your body’s hormones—not willpower—play the biggest role in fat loss and metabolic health.
You’ll learn:
● Why calorie restriction often backfires

● How hunger is driven by hormones like insulin

● Why feeling hungry all the time is NOT your fault

● What actually helps you eat less without suffering

● How a metabolic approach changes long-term results

This conversation is especially helpful if you’ve tried diets before and felt stuck, frustrated, or blamed yourself for “not being disciplined enough.”
The goal here isn’t quick fixes.
It’s understanding your body—so results finally make sense.

Most people are told that “weight loss = calorie deficit.” But the truth is, a calorie
deficit is a myth. Your body is not a simple calculator where you just subtract
calories and lose fat. In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains the science behind
why focusing only on calories fails, and why hormones, insulin, and fat
metabolism are the real keys to healthy and lasting weight loss.
When people try extreme dieting or drug-induced appetite suppression, they
often experience side effects like the dreaded “Ozempic face” — hollow cheeks,
sagging skin, and an unhealthy look. This happens because subcutaneous fat
(the fat under the skin) gets burned instead of visceral fat (the dangerous fat
around your organs). The result: you may lose weight, but you don’t look or feel
healthy.

Fasting works completely differently. Instead of just cutting calories, fasting
changes your hormones and metabolism:
�� Insulin drops, allowing fat burning to start
�� Growth hormone rises, protecting muscle and skin elasticity
�� Autophagy activates, repairing tissues and preventing loose skin
�� Visceral fat is targeted, which improves health and appearance
�� Brown fat (through beiging) is activated, boosting metabolism naturally

That’s why people who fast look healthier, stronger, and younger compared to
those who follow harsh calorie-restricted diets.
In this video you’ll discover:

✅ Why calorie restriction almost always fails
✅ The science of subcutaneous vs. visceral fat
✅ How fasting avoids the “Ozempic face” problem
✅ The role of hormones in fat burning and aging
✅ How fasting improves skin health, prevents sagging, and supports long-term
fat loss
