My guest, Dr. Jason Fung is a passionate advocate for
reclaiming our health through low-carb nutrition and intermittent
fasting. As a Nephrologist, he recognized his diabetic patients on
dialysis uniformly declined into worsening health. He knew
something had to change. That is when he went against the
prevailing paradigm and starting using low-carb nutrition and
intermittent fasting as primary therapy for his patients. And he
hasn’t looked back.
Now known as “The King of Fasting” he maintains a prolific blog at
IDMProgram.com, and he has published
The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, and The
Complete Guide to Fasting, and we eagerly await his new book,
The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes
Naturally.
Although the benefits of fasting to treat diabetes are immense,
they do not stop there. Fasting also impacts our nutrient sensors,
and by doing so, may help us prevent or treat cancer, and improve
our longevity. The science behind this is fascinating and continues
to grow every day.
