Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Broccolini, Metformin, Exercise and Weight Loss, and More

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Broccolini, Metformin, Exercise and Weight Loss, and More

Episode #149

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

  1. I’ve heard you’ve written an amazing book called, “The Cancer Code.” I haven’t read it yet, but wanted to hear your thoughts on broccolini being an anti-cancer food. I understand it contains Sulforaphane, Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), Glucosinolates, Vitamin C, and fiber. Should I concentrate on cruciferous vegetables, like broccolini, or just work on getting a balanced diet? What are your thoughts? [02:14]
  2. I have a little confusion about the difference between taking metformin and injecting insulin. From what I've read in your books it's that insulin is going to make type 2 diabetes worse in the long run. I already know that that’s not the answer to reverse type two diabetes and I’m not taking either one. Like insulin, will metformin also be detrimental to treat T2D or is there a difference between one and the other - and why, please? [05:27]
  3. What do they mean by 'immunoreactive insulin'? [12:06]
  4. Does the liver respond negatively to the ingestion of supplements? In other words, do the supplements cause any changes in my insulin? [14:52]
  5. I started TRE (beginning Jan this year) at about 135 pounds and am now doing 24-hour fasts with OMAD and 2MAD. I have completed a 42-hour fast and will probably try another one this week. I am eating whole foods. Avocados are my miracle!!! I do not snack between meals. My body is still releasing weight with what I am doing now and I feel I have another 5 pounds to go. How will I know when to stop shedding the weight? [18:13]
  6. Can you clarify the role of physical activity and exercise in weight loss? In The Obesity Code, you shared that a number of rigorous clinical trials demonstrate that exercise contributes minimally, if at all, to weight loss. However, zone 2 exercise is promoted for its'fat burnin' benefits. I plan to continue exercising for its health-promoting benefits but I would really like to hear your take on the extent to which it can assist with weight loss, and what exercise types you recommend for weight loss. [21:56]
  7. On non-fasting days, what is Dr. Fung’s chosen style of eating? [29:46]

Fasting Q&A: Pre and Probiotics, CGMs, Hormonal Tests, and Fat Fasting vs Extended Fasting

Fasting Q&A: Pre and Probiotics, CGMs, Hormonal Tests, and Fat Fasting vs Extended Fasting

Episode #57  In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Can we take prebiotics and probiotics during extended fasting? [03:07] 2. I’m going to Europe for a few weeks - Italy and France - and want to buy a CGM machine which I know you can get at most pharmacies. Is there a specific brand or type of machine that you recommend? [05:39] 3. Are there any other tests that can be beneficial for women? I’ve been having a lot of problems with my hormones (specifically a low level of testosterone) and I’m tired of going to doctors who seem to do tests and tell me things are, “OK,” without cross referencing hormone levels or taking other tests into consideration. I’m at the point where I want to become my own “doctor” as far as monitoring my glucose and hormone levels. [15:57]  4. Should you fat fast or do extended fasting before holiday events?

Fasting Q&A: Hysterectomy, Vitamins and Pain Meds, Birth Control Pill, and High Altitude and Fasting

Fasting Q&A: Hysterectomy, Vitamins and Pain Meds, Birth Control Pill, and High Altitude and Fasting

Episode #53  In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Last year I had a hysterectomy, but kept my ovaries. At the time, I was in peri-menopause. How will this impact fasting and should I do anything differently? [02:27] 2. Do vitamins or pain-relief tablets break a fast? [08:44] 3. If female hormones are so important for women and help us maintain weight during reproductive age, what do you think about the impact of birth control pills on metabolism? [13:41]  4. We often travel for an extended amount of time to 4000m. I am not sure if fasting 48-72 hrs would put too much stress on the body since high altitude is a big change for the body anyway?
