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]

Episode #95 (#26)                                                                                                    SUMMER BREAK Megan, Nadia, and Terri are taking a summer break during August but didn't want to leave you without something to listen to so they have chosen some great episodes to replay.                                                                                              In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Does fasting for fat loss still require a caloric deficit? [01:08] 2. I've had success eating keto (traditional) with IF, and I've had success with a vegan diet (not keto) until I started relying too much on carbs like beans, rice, and potatoes. Do you think a vegan keto diet is a realistic way to eat while incorporating IF? [09:01] 3. I’ve heard a few acronyms that I don’t recognize: PCOS, CGM and IBS (although IBS is more common and not specific to fasting). For those used to fasting and the TFM Community discussions, these are common terms. However, I believe that those not versed would be left wondering about them and possibly looking them up. I know I had to look up PCOS when I first heard it. [13:56]  4. I’m confused about which cooking oils are inflammatory and why. Can you please address this?
