Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Magnesium, Vinegar, Dawn Phenomenon, and More

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Magnesium, Vinegar, Dawn Phenomenon, and More

Episode #223

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

1. I am a healthy 46-year-old working to improve my sleep, so I want to take magnesium bisglycinate. My magnesium supplement actually contains 7 forms of magnesium, which is very convenient, but is it better to just take one form in one capsule for absorption or any other reason? [01:23]

2. Two-part question on TFM’s Fat Fasting

One: Vinegar is not on the list, but you have mentioned that we can eat salads. Would it be okay to make a dressing with a healthy oil and vinegar during a Fat Fast?

Two: I've seen some mention to only eat 3-4 of the allowed foods on a fat fast. Is this an alternative manner to step up one's game during a fat fast? [03:58]

3. I just read about a study on stem cell research. Could you elaborate further what this may mean for those with pancreas, liver, or kidney issues? [08:11]

4. Are there any research-based studies that fasting helps lower cholesterol? [09:55]

5. I’m on day four of a water fast and I am noticing a metallic taste in my mouth. Is this unusual? Why does it happen? [13:46]

6. I have various autoimmune conditions and it was suggested I consider going on LDN (low dose naltrexone), and that this can also help with weight loss. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on LDN for weight loss and, if I decided to start it, how I would incorporate it into my fasting schedule. [16:09]

7. What is the difference between The Dawn Phenomenon and Feet-to-Floor Syndrome? From what I can find they both cause a rise in morning blood sugar, one due to circadian rhythm and the other due to a stress response from getting the day started. Is there a different eating/fasting protocol that is best for one over the other, and how do you know which one you are experiencing? [18:14]

8. Is kidney disease the cause of interstitial cystitis and how do you treat it? [21:05]

9. I have high uric acid and also the APOE 4-4 gene. Would the 3T of lime juice recommended for high uric acid affect the neural autophagy I use as a prevention for the dementia risk? What is the best way to navigate fasting with these two needs? [21:59]

10. Are there any dangers to keeping blood sugars in a consistently low range (50-60’s mg/dl) if no symptoms of hypoglycemia are felt? [24:55]

11. In some fasting groups on-line, they are big into breaking fasts with watermelon and fruit juices. How do you feel about breaking fasts with these things? [25:39]

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.
