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: Low BG, Night Sweats, Nightshift Workers, Feeling Sleepy, and Thyroid Meds.

Fasting Q&A: Low BG, Night Sweats, Nightshift Workers, Feeling Sleepy, and Thyroid Meds.

Episode #87 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I’m a healthy female with low blood sugars when extended fasting. Is this normal, should I be worried, can this be fixed? [03:03] 2. How do I handle night sweats during menopause? Will fasting help with this? [09:20] 3. What are your tips for nightshift workers who are fasting? [14:03]  4. During my long fast, after about 24 hours I begin to have an achy feeling on one side of my back, around the kidney area. It's uncomfortable enough to get my attention but not super painful. I do not get this feeling at any other time. What could be causing it, and should I be concerned? [19:29]  5. Heading into the evening on the first full day of the fast I often find myself not able to concentrate on anything and sometimes feel sleepy. After a night's sleep, however, I feel great and am able to focus just fine. Is this normal, or is there something I can be doing to avoid the brain fog? [23:19] 6. Do you need to stop thyroid medication while fasting?

Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Episode #86 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Terri answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I have built a successful fasting muscle (as you all refer to it), but I find that I’m still not making progress because I throw out all my healthy eating knowledge when it comes to my eating days. Help! [02:02] 2. Why is it so hard to do what I know I should do? I have read and listened to just about everything Megan Ramos and Jason Fung have done. What the heck is wrong with me? [08:12]  3. I recently participated in the Healthy Habits and Mindset Keys Masterclass. I have been working to change my habits and address some of my underlying mindset pieces, but sometimes struggle to see how it is all connected to being more successful. [16:24]   4. I started fasting prior to all of the pandemic stay-at-home orders. I did pretty well and then actually made a lot of progress while I worked from home and stopped socialising around food.  But ever since restrictions were lifted, I have not been able to get back to my focused approach that helped me so much in 2020 to the end of 2021. Do you have any suggestions that can help me to get back on track? I’ve gained about 15- 20 pounds of the weight I lost and I’m afraid I will keep gaining.
