Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Off-Label Use of GLP-1s, Double Diabetes, Seed Oils, and More.

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Off-Label Use of GLP-1s, Double Diabetes, Seed Oils, and More.

Episode #206

In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:

  1. Are there common strategies that help to avoid the common pitfalls of Ramadan, like late night eating, overeating, or accidentally doing OMAD for too long and slowing down the metabolic rate? [01:07]
  2. Concerns about off-label use of GLP-1s. Some medical professionals seem to be prescribing GLP-1 medications for anti-aging/longevity purposes in people who aren't overweight or diabetic. What do you think about the trend of “microdosing” GLP-1s as a preventative health measure? [02:36]
  3. Are there further short and long-term side effects of GLP-1s coming to light? [06:36]
  4. Are there ethical concerns around supply issues with GLP-1s due to increased demand from off-label use? [ 10:12]
  5. Are there bioethical concerns about GLP-1s that doctors should be discussing with patients? [12:03]
  6. Can you address how people with Type 1 diabetes can develop insulin resistance similar to those with Type 2, sometimes referred to as ‘double diabetes’? [16:21]
  7. How concerning is an elevated Lp(a) and how can you lower it? [20:47]
  8. Do you know of research or trials with fasting to reduce prostate size? [26:28]
  9. Can someone who is considering kidney donation fast/fat fast? [29:08]
  10. I'm seeing many reputable sources saying that the claims against seed oils aren't actually based in the science. I'm curious whether Dr. Fung's opinion has evolved on this? [30:51]

Fasting Q&A: Feeling Cold, Night Sweats, Gestational Diabetes, and Eating During Pregnancy

Fasting Q&A: Feeling Cold, Night Sweats, Gestational Diabetes, and Eating During Pregnancy

Episode #121 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I used to do 16-8 IF and have now started doing ADF. How can I avoid malnutrition doing this new pattern? [01:45] 2. I am planning on doing 24-hour fasts three days a week for fat loss. For this schedule, you typically recommend (on eating days) to still fast 16 hours and only eat two meals. But, on my eating days, would it be better to not fast at all and eat three meals to keep up my metabolism? If not, how do I maintain my metabolism during this process? [08:08] 3. I am doing three 42-hour fasts a week. On my fasting days, every time I reach 24 hours into my fast, I start feeling cold. What is the process behind that reaction? I’ve also found that since I started fasting eight weeks ago, my perimenopause symptoms have increased, namely I experience more and more severe night sweats. Is this just a coincidence or could fasting be increasing these symptoms. [14:06]  4. I started my fasting journey after listening to your podcast, which I love. I'm now up to 24 hours three times a week and looking forward to doing longer ones soon! My question for you is about gestational diabetes. I’ve had it with both of my kids and was told that eating healthy has nothing to do with getting it. I’m curious what you think about this. I’m determined to get healthy through fasting to prevent T2D in the future and am hoping to prevent gestational diabetes as well as pre eclampsia (I had hypertension with my first and pre eclampsia with my second!) Is there a way to prepare my body to prevent either of these with my next pregnancy. [20:41]  5. Do pregnant women have to eat more than three good meals a day? I get full so quickly and I’m not sure I can eat more than three meals a day. I normally ate two meals a day when I fasted before pregnancy.

Bitesize: $1M Motivation Analogy

Episode #118 In this Bitesize episode, Terri shares a motivation story to help you really hone in on the WHYs that will keep you focused on changing your behavior patterns and, ultimately, reach your goals. Experience has probably shown most of us that without very clear reasons to choose behaviors that may be challenging or inconvenient, we typically resort to falling back into the old patterns or shortcuts that never allow us to reach our goals and instead leave us feeling defeated. What is your $1M WHY or collection of WHYs that motivate you to take the challenge, do the steps, or forego a convenience?
