  • Why almost 80% of my patients are quietly quitting Ozempic

    Are weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Tirzepatide truly miracle cures? In this in-depth video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks past the media hype to examine real-world data, including cohort studies from JAMA and Blue Cross Blue Shield (BHI), revealing a side of modern weight-loss treatments that few are talking about.

    While clinical trials paint a glowing picture, real-world statistics tell a different story: a massive percentage of patients—ranging from 60% to nearly 80%—stop taking these medications within one to two years. But why are millions of people walking away from a drug that promised them results?

    Dr. Jason Fung uncovers the three major hidden problems with modern obesity drugs that explain why patients ultimately throw in the towel. From the shocking drop-off in long-term persistence and the subtle erosion of life’s greatest daily pleasures to the frustrating reality that these drugs simply stop working over time, this video exposes the true cost of GLP-1 therapy.

    📌 In This Video, You Will Discover:
    ● The Real-World Data: Why up to 80% of patients discontinue Ozempic and similar GLP-1 agonists despite having insurance coverage.
    ● The Quality of Life Dilemma: How suppressing appetite often strips away the joy of eating, socializing, and celebrating milestones.
    ● The Plateau Effect: Why weight loss quickly halts after 6 to 9 months as the body adapts and energy expenditure decreases.
    ● The Long-Term Trap: Why simply telling patients to "take it forever" ignores human nature, clinical economics, and patient well-being.
    Whether you are considering these medications, currently on a weight-loss journey, or looking for sustainable, natural alternatives to health and fasting, this analysis provides the crucial insights you need.

    Understanding how your body changes through the menstrual cycle i
    key to smarter, more effective fasting. In this video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks
    down the latest science and practical tips to help women fast in sync with
    their hormones. Whether menstruating, perimenopausal, or
    postmenopausal — this video will help you optimize your health and fat
    loss.

    What You'll Learn in This Video:
    - How estrogen & progesterone affect hunger and metabolism
    - Why fasting feels easier before ovulation
    - The ideal time to do longer fasts or intermittent fasting
    - How menopause changes fat burning vs. sugar burning
    - Why many women gain weight during perimenopause
    - Practical tips to adapt your diet through different phases of your cycle
    - Personalizing your fasting strategy using your hormone patterns

    Science-Backed + Practical Advice

    During the first half of your cycle (follicular phase), rising estrogen can
    suppress appetite and increase your body’s ability to burn fat. This makes
    it the best time to fast — your cravings are low and your metabolism is
    geared for fat-burning. After ovulation, progesterone increases appetite
    and shifts your metabolism toward storing fat, making it a better time to
    focus on low-carb eating instead of long fasts.

    In menopause, estrogen levels drop, appetite increases, and your bod
    starts burning more glucose than fat. This metabolic shift makes weight
    gain easier and fat loss harder — but it’s manageable with the right fasting
    strategies.

    Lumen helps you measure your breath to know exactly whether you’r

  • Fasting and Weight Loss - Solving the Two-Compartment problem

    Why intermittent Fasting is a simple solution for weight loss. Body fat is simply a method of storing food energy. When we eat, our body wants to store those calories. When we don't eat (intermittent fasting), our body uses those calories. So, if we want to lose body fat, increase the duration of time that we are not eating.

  • Type 2 Diabetes isn't Genetic ... It's Caused by THIS

    Are you struggling to understand the real root cause of Type 2 Diabetes?
    For decades, the medical community has focused on insulin resistance
    without clearly explaining what actually causes the cells to become
    resistant in the first place.

    In this comprehensive masterclass, we break down the science of insulin
    resistance and reveal why the outdated 'Lock and Key' (internal
    starvation) theory fails to explain the modern obesity and diabetes
    epidemics. Instead, we explore the 'Overflow Paradigm'.
    You will discover how decades of high-carbohydrate diets have literally
    overstuffed your cells with glucose, leading to hyperinsulinemia, fatty liver,
    and metabolic syndrome.

    More importantly, Type 2 Diabetes is a fully reversible condition. By
    understanding how your body processes sugar, you can take control of
    your metabolic health using simple, evidence-based methods like low-carb
    diets and intermittent fasting.

    In this video, you will learn:
    ✅ The Root Cause: Why Type 2 Diabetes is actually a disease of too
    much insulin (hyperinsulinemia).
    ✅ The Suitcase Analogy: Why your cells are rejecting insulin because they
    are already jam-packed with glucose.
    ✅ The 1977 Disaster: How the dietary guidelines to "eat more carbs and
    less fat" directly sparked the obesity and diabetes epidemics.

    ✅ Reversing the Disease: How low-carbohydrate diets and intermittent
    fasting empty the cells of toxic glucose.
    ✅Modern Medicine: How treatments like GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic) and
    SGLT2 inhibitors fit into the reversal process.

  • Control HUNGER, not Calories

    Preorder The Hunger Code and receive over $500 worth of free bonuses. Check https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/gift-with-purchase-offer

    Why do so many people struggle with weight loss even when they carefully count calories?
    In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains a powerful shift in thinking: instead of obsessing over calories, we should focus on controlling hunger. Hunger is not a lack of willpower—it’s a hormonal signal, and when hormones are ignored, long-term weight loss becomes nearly impossible.
    This discussion breaks down why traditional calorie-counting often fails and how hunger, insulin, and metabolism are deeply connected.
    In this video, you’ll learn:
    ● Why hunger—not calories—is the real driver of overeating

    ● How insulin affects hunger and fat storage

    ● Why eating less doesn’t always lead to sustainable weight loss

    ● The difference between physical hunger and hormonal hunger

    ● How fasting and proper food choices help regulate appetite naturally

    ● Why controlling hunger leads to better metabolic health

    Dr. Jason Fung explains these concepts in a simple, practical way—helping you understand why your body resists calorie restriction and what actually works for long-term health and fat loss.
    This video is especially helpful if you:
    ● Feel hungry all the time while dieting

    ● Have tried calorie counting but regained the weight

    ● Struggle with insulin resistance or slow metabolism

    ● Want a sustainable approach to weight loss and health

    If this message resonates with you, it may completely change how you think about food, hunger, and weight loss.
