Dr Jason Fung discusses the complex causes of obesity and hunger, emphasising hormonal influences over simplistic calorie models. He explores the history of dietary guidelines, the role of insulin, and the social and emotional factors affecting eating behaviours.

Success is about far more than the number on the scale. Episode #261

Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist, New York Times bestselling author, and leading voice in the fields of intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, weight loss, and type 2 diabetes. He is best known for his books The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, and The Hunger Code, where he challenges the traditional “calories in, calories out” model and argues that hormones, especially insulin, play a major role in fat storage, hunger, and metabolic health. Dr. Fung co-founded The Fasting Method and has helped popularize fasting as a practical tool for improving metabolic health and supporting sustainable weight loss. Today on the show we discuss: why losing body fat is more complicated than calories in versus calories out, how hormones like insulin and cortisol affect fat storage, why ultra-processed foods can drive hunger and cravings, how emotional eating and habit-based eating keep people stuck, why fasting works best when paired with better food choices, and the simple daily habits that can improve insulin control, including whole foods, fewer refined carbs, walking after meals, better sleep, and stress management and much more.

I am so excited to welcome back my friend Dr. Jason Fung, a world-renowned nephrologist and expert on intermittent fasting, to discuss his groundbreaking new book. In this episode, we peel back the layers on why the traditional "calories in, calories out" model is a complete failure and how hormones truly dictate our weight. You will discover the three distinct types of hunger and learn why your struggles with weight are rarely a matter of willpower or discipline. What you'll learn: (00:00) Why the biggest lie about hunger is that it signals nutrient need. (00:48) What homeostatic hunger is and how hormones control it. (01:35) How emotional (hedonic) hunger drives overeating behaviors. (02:16) Why ultra-processed foods amplify reward pathways in the brain. (03:02) How conditioned habits create hunger even without physical need. (04:25) Why the calories in calories out model fails in real life. (06:23) How sleep, stress, and environment influence how much you eat. (08:40) Why hormonal changes (like perimenopause) impact weight gain.

Ever feel your phone buzz in your pocket—only to check and find nothing there? It feels completely real, and it happens to just about everyone. But it's not your phone—it's your brain playing a trick on you. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rewired-the-psychology-technology/201305/phantom-pocket-vibration-syndrome We're constantly told that creativity comes from “thinking outside the box.” But what if that idea is actually holding you back? It turns out that constraints—rules, limits, and boundaries—often lead to better, more innovative results. David Epstein, bestselling author and former Sports Illustrated senior writer, explains why. David is author of the book Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better (https://amzn.to/48c69lO). He reveals how structure can sharpen thinking, improve performance, and lead to better outcomes than unlimited freedom ever could. Hunger feels simple—you're hungry, you eat. But it's not that straightforward. There are different kinds of hunger and they don't all come from physical need. Dr. Jason Fung, expert in body weight and metabolism is author of The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body's Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food (https://amzn.to/4vRAaBr). He explains how hunger actually works, why it can drive overeating, and how understanding it can help you take better control of what—and how much you eat —and still feel satisfied. If a first date doesn't go great, it's easy to assume there's no point in trying again. But unless it was truly awful, passing on a second date might be a mistake. That second date might go better than you expect. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16866745/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AQUA TRU: Take the guesswork out of pure, great-tasting water.

You are not eating because you are hungry. You are eating because you have been trained to, and the food industry designed it that way. This episode dismantles everything you thought you knew about hunger, weight loss, and metabolism, and gives you a science-backed framework to finally stop fighting your own biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jason Fung, a New York Times bestselling author, practicing nephrologist, and one of the most trusted voices in functional medicine and metabolic health. Dr. Fung completed medical school at the University of Toronto and a fellowship in nephrology at Stanford University. He is the author of multiple critically acclaimed books including The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and his newest release The Hunger Code, and is the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program designed to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes through fasting and real food nutrition. His work has helped millions break free from calorie restriction dogma for good. Together, Dave and Dr. Fung expose the three types of hunger driving the obesity epidemic, why calorie restriction fails almost every time, and what ultra-processed foods actually do to your brain's reward system. They get into the real science of fasting, metabolism, hormonal signaling, GLP-1 drugs, food addiction, conditioned eating behavior, and how your physical environment is quietly sabotaging your results. If you are serious about biohacking your hunger, optimizing your body composition, and taking control of your biology without white-knuckling willpower, this episode delivers the tools you need. This is essential listening for anyone focused on biohacking, longevity, human performance, fasting, metabolism, anti-aging, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and eating smarter not harder. You'll Learn: Why calorie restriction fails and what actually controls how much you eat The three types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned, and how each one drives overeating How ultra-processed foods hijack your dopamine system and destroy satiety signals Why wiring your jaw shut or cutting your stomach still does not produce long-term weight loss What GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic actually reveal about hunger, metabolism, and the body fat thermostat How conditioned hunger works like Pavlov's dogs and practical strategies to reverse it The role of your physical environment in controlling food noise and cravings Why food addiction is real, and which foods are engineered to keep you hooked How fasting resets hunger signals, improves metabolic flexibility, and supports ketosis The mindset shift that makes healthy eating feel effortless instead of like deprivation Thank you to our sponsors! - OneSkin | Get 15% off OneSkin with code DAVE at oneskin.co/DAVE. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss with www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - Our Place | Stop cooking with toxic cookware and upgrade to Our Place today.

What if the key to reversing stubborn weight gain, balancing hormones, and even preventing chronic disease isn't more food… but strategically less? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jason Fung to unpack the science—and the simplicity—behind intermittent fasting. Dr. Fung is a world-renowned nephrologist, New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code, and a pioneer in using fasting as a therapeutic tool to reverse type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. After witnessing firsthand how conventional treatments often worsened his patients' health, he developed a groundbreaking approach focused on lowering insulin and restoring metabolic balance. Together, we explore how intermittent fasting works with your body—not against it—and why it's especially powerful for women navigating hormonal shifts. In this episode, you'll discover: Why insulin—not calories—is the key driver of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction How intermittent fasting supports fat burning, hormone balance, and cellular repair The biggest myths about fasting (especially for women!)—and what actually works How fasting impacts menopause, cravings, and energy levels Simple, sustainable ways to begin fasting safely and effectively This conversation is both empowering and practical—giving you tools to take control of your metabolism, your hormones, and your long-term health.

You understand hunger… so why is it still so hard to change your behaviour? Episode #253

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Bob: Toke the Bacteria and Parasites Stool Test, show very high Inflammation markers, Lactoferrin 200 µg/mL < 7.3 Calprotectin 1534 µg/g < 80 Lysozyme* 3810 ng/mL ≤ 500 I stop all supplement except DNS before the test and continue for over a month, by The time I got the results I went from watery diarrhea to a more formed stool, less urgency and went from 10 bowel movements to 3- 5 daily. With no bowel movements after 11:30 am until early next day. What are your thoughts? Thank you for all you do!      Allen: Dear Dr. Cabral: One bout of food poisoning completely destroyed my microbiome, and now I have to take probiotics for the rest of my life just to feel normal. How come beneficial bacteria don't seem to colonize and thrive as well as pathogenic bacteria? You would think that the probiotics would eventually restore the microbiome — especially over a period of years — but they never do. I always hear that they're transient and can only help you as long as you keep taking them. Why is that? Thank you.      Jasmine: Hi there, thanks so much for providing this option to ask questions directly to you! My son is almost 2 and has dealt with eczema since about 16 MO, has a reaction to peanut butter that causes it to worsen, the sun, heat, and water (of any sort but especially pools/chlorine) in the summer really flare it up. He is now having early spring allergies to the pollen for the first time. Would you give me a detailed layout of what you would do if he was your child? Testing/supps/protocols etc. I really want to resolve this for him and get his immune system functioning at his best! Thank you so much for all you provide-I completely fixed my gut through your protocols about 10 years back and haven't looked back!!      Chelsie: Hi Dr Cabral, My husband was told by his DR. he had low Testosterone and was put on TRT about a year ago at about a 1.5 mil a week. He usually takes the full dose one time a week which I feel REALLY fluctuates his hormones and doesn't seem healthy. Through learning things through my own health journey I am worried about his does being so high. He is 6 foot 4, 280lbs and built like a NFL line backer but his Dr. seems to be fine with it as long as he is feeling good. I worry about the long term effects this might have on him the rest of his life. Is it possible to get him off of synthetic TRT and get his natural test up on it's own?      Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I've adhered to your Himalayanor or celtic salt with lime/lemon or ACV with water on mornings. And adding a bit of salt to larger water bottles given active job and training. However, I saw Dr Jason Fung, kidney specialist, on Twitter saying "you drink a lot of water, you will pee it out. That's what your kidneys do (speaking as a kidney specialist). I drink plain water (yes, without salt) almost every day of my life, as did virtually all humans for the last, say, million years. No, I am not worried about 'dehydrating' myself by drinking water. ". This was in response to someone recommending adding salt to water in morning as plain water w/o electrolytes can dilute sodium levels and make hydration worse. Is Dr. Fung right or??    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3719 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

The quality of calories matters to your health. (8:00) What you eat determines what your body does. (11:15) There is a limit to how much you should eat, however. (12:00) Natural foods trigger satiety; ultra-processed foods mess with the body's natural signaling hormones. There are three types of hunger: homeostatic (physical), hedonic (emotional), and conditioned (social). (17:00) Food companies, over the years, have developed ways to keep you eating, even when your body isn't truly hungry. (27:00) Many foods trigger a conditioned response. The term "food noise" is all over the place. Once you get your hormones working properly through low-carb, "food noise" goes away. (31:00) The process isn't overnight, but it will happen. Dr. Fung offers his thoughts on "food noise." (33:00) So much of our eating today is driven by conditioned responses and activities paired with food. GLP1s Are Not Magic GLP-1 naturally occurs in the body, and certain foods like protein and fiber will trigger it properly in your body. But the medical doses administered pharmacologically are massive and squelch all hunger signals. The biggest problem with exogenous GLP-1s is the loss of your body's ability to learn and respond to proper hunger signals. (36:30) Another issue is that it can also dull *everything* else in life, too. (40:00) They are a tool, not a magic bullet. Oftentimes, when a person stops the drug, they often gain even more fat than before. (42:00) There is, of course, the concern of muscle loss as well. If you are already fighting sarcopenia and add GLP-1s, there could be serious issues to follow. (43:00) Vinnie discusses "eating through" both bariatric surgery and now the GLP-1 meds. (46:00) These drugs can be effective, but there is always a cost. They discuss the transition Weight Watchers made when it entered the GLP-1 market. (54:00) They discuss other peptides and whether or not they are beneficial. (57:00) They discuss other "miracle cure" trends. What you *can* do is trust real food!

Why do diets so often fail... is it discipline or biology?Dr. Jason Fung is a physician, nephrologist, and one of the most influential voices challenging how we understand metabolism, obesity, and chronic disease. He is the bestselling author of The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and his newest book, The Hunger Code, which explores a deceptively powerful question: what is actually driving hunger, and what does the answer tell us about why so many people struggle with their weight?In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Dr. Fung explains why the standard advice of "eat less and move more" isn't just ineffective, it's missing the point entirely. The real question isn't how much you eat. It's why you eat. And the answer, he argues, is far more complex, and far more interesting, than anyone has told us.At the center of the conversation is Dr. Fung's framework of three distinct types of hunger: homeostatic hunger, driven by hormones and biology; hedonic hunger, driven by pleasure and reward; and conditioned hunger, driven by environment and learned behavior. Each has its own cause, its own pattern, and its own solution. And until we understand which type of hunger we're dealing with, we'll keep solving the wrong problem.Dr. Fung also digs into the science of insulin, explaining why it is the master switch of fat storage and release, why ultra-processed foods are designed to spike it in ways that leave us hungry again almost immediately, and why intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful tools available for driving insulin down and letting the body do what it's built to do.The conversation covers a lot of ground: the GLP-1 debate, the gender differences in fasting, what perimenopause does to appetite, how food order affects insulin response, why walking after a meal can reduce your insulin spikes, and why the cultural food environments of Italy and Japan offer a compelling blueprint for what sustainable health can actually look like.In this conversation, we explore:Why "eat less, move more" fails to address the root cause of weight gainThe three types of hunger and how each one requires a different responseHow ultra-processed foods hijack biology, behavior, and environment all at onceWhy insulin, not calories, is the key metabolic variable to understandHow intermittent fasting works, who it's for, and how to do it wellWhat perimenopause does to hunger hormones, and what to do about itWhy the Italian and Japanese food environments produce radically different health outcomesYour hunger isn't a character flaw. Learn what's actually behind it.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Feeling like you're doing everything right… but still struggling with unwanted weight, cravings, and low energy?  This episode is for you. We're unpacking why your metabolism may not be broken at all—and how a dysregulated nervous system could be the real reason your body feels stuck.  For midlife women especially, chronic stress can quietly drive insulin resistance, hormonal shifts, and that frustrating loss of resilience that seems to hit in your 40s and beyond.  So this conversation sheds light on the powerful connection between stress and your ability to create and sustain energy in your body.  You'll walk away with an empowering perspective on how supporting your nervous system can unlock real, lasting change in your health.  Tune in here to learn how to work with your body—not against it—and start feeling like yourself again! IN THIS EPISODE The correlation between stress and your metabolic health  What's really happening in your body in a stressful state The negative impacts of stress-induced blood sugar responses  How you can experience a blood sugar spike without eating  Simple tips for calming your nervous system and stabilizing your metabolism and blood sugar levels  Movement recommendations for getting stress out of your system  How to take control of your body in my Midlife On Fire Collective  QUOTES“This is what's called a stress-induced blood sugar response, and it's completely normal in the short term, right? We are built for this…But the problem is, for most of us, this isn't happening once in a while. It's happening all the time, and over time research shows that it can lead to higher insulin levels, increased fat storage, especially in the abdomen, and more inflammation and oxidative stress in the body.” “Your metabolism is deeply connected to your nervous system. So what can you do about this? I want to keep this real simple because this isn't about doing more, it's about doing fewer things consistently.” “If we can start to create more safety in our bodies, it just changes everything. And we deserve that. We deserve to feel safe, because that translates into the safety of the people around us as well.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Join my Midlife on Fire Collective https://go2.drmariza.com/midlife-on-fire/ Join my 7- Day Metabolism and Hormone Jumpstart https://go.drmariza.com/lp/metabolism-jumpstart/ Order my latest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Dr. Jason Fung's book: The Hunger Code https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/ RELATED EPISODES  729: Why Counting Calories Doesn't Work (And What Actually Controls Hunger) with Dr. Jason Fung 730: The Metabolic Shift After 40: What's Really Driving Weight, Energy & Mood Changes 732: The Silent Disruptor: How Chronic Stress Hijacks Perimenopause 698: Food Noise, Cravings, and Midlife Weight Gain: How to Regain Control Naturally with Sarah Kennedy

Vinnie's messaging has been consistent through the years, and with much success. (14:00) His approach also helps train people with lifestyle changes. GLP-1s can help some people in the beginning, but without lifestyle changes, there may be long-term challenges if one tries to stay on the drug long-term. Another issue that GLP-1s can affect is creating a dulled desire for other things, like sex. (20:00) "Food noise" is a real thing for many people. (24:00) NSNG® can help with "food noise" by adjusting hunger hormones. Various drugs over the years have proven to be either unsuccessful or dangerous. They discuss some of the things people challenge Vinnie with. (47:00) They veer off into talking about wise ways of purchasing cars. Vinnie is going to be in a race with his brother, in New Orleans.
