— ABOUT DR JASON FUNG —
It has become obvious that conventional medical treatments are failing patients. Many of today’s chronic medical issues are related to diet and obesity, yet treatments are focused on medications and surgeries. If you don’t deal with the root cause, the problem never improves. A dietary problem requires a dietary solution.
Dr. Fung is the author of The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, and The Diabetes Code. He is also the scientific editor of the Journal of Insulin Resistance and the managing director of the nonprofit organization Public Health Collaboration (Canada), an international group dedicated to promoting sound nutritional information.

Fasting also stimulates phagocytosis, which is also very important for clearing cancer out of the body! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.

Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.

Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..

Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.

Reflexes and short term memory are increased.

Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!

After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system.

Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.

Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.

Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus.

Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.

When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.

What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.

Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.

Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.

Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.

Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!

Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.

Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.

Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells

Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.

It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency.

Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.

When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.

Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.

When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.

A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.

Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.

Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.

Fung always gives the most understandable explanations for everything!!! Because it’s PURE logic!!!

[Kinkle_Z]

So once damaged mitochondria can no longer derive energy from oxidative phosphorylation, the cell, in order to survive, switches to glycolysis, which is the pathway that unicellular and cancer cells use for ATP energy? This is an A+ lecture!! Mind boggling!

[bainm]

Dr. Jason Fung is Brilliant, not just in his understanding, but in his ability to communicate so clearly. Thank you both for this event.

[maryannehill]

Dr Jason Fung and Dr Thomas Seyfried are amazing, why can’t we change the paradigm? 😢 Thank you for putting out this information maybe we can spread the word until we can get change 🙏

[karenanson]

Thank you both so much! I’m cooking and coaching for three people with cancer and just ordered Jason’s Cancer Code. I’ve been following Jason for a few years now and have completely turned around my own metabolic syndrome, lost 50 lbs, and no more diabetes or high BP after doing his fasting recommendations. Yay for this beyond-simple approach to fueling our meat suits! 🥳🥳🥳

[lisa-egnx]

Amazing interview as a person with stage four cancer since 2020. I’ve been stable when I started a treatment in 2021. This is so encouraging. If I ever won the lottery I mean a big win lol I would so support this type of research. I totally agree with the approach, and it makes so much more sense why some people do well and some people don’twith treatment… Thanks again for this amazing interview I so appreciate it❤

[yvonnekiwior]

Dr Jason. Fung is BRILLANT❤...we have to get his information around the world🎉

[cattleprods]

Extremely good interview. Both of my parents died from cancer (my dad, pancreatic-58 yr, my mom, breast-79 yr), and I want to better understand the disease mechanism, prevention and cure. Videos like this elevate understanding, please keep them coming!

[bobcocampo]

Why not have a prolonged fasting therapy as part of the prevention guidelines for chronic diseases.

[adamweiner]

Absolutely fascinating explanation of cancer, Dr Fung. Dr Sanjay--I can't wait to watch the next episode!

[audiofileptyltd]

This is utterly fantastic and fascinating As a person with a grade 4 Glioblastoma I find this gives me hope. Thanks for the great interview and for having the interest to try and solve this terrible thing called cancer. None of my oncologists in Sydney show any interest in or understanding in the metabolic links to cancer. Thanks again to both of you

[heavenlyflower_sl]

To learn about this is mindblowing, as our cells (competition vs collaboration) behave the same way as our society does.

[janen]

Dr Fung, you are the best! These informations are mind blowing, thank you very much!

[alexi]

Love Dr fung, found him on you t during the pandemic anf started intermittent fasting more seriously. As a 77 yr old, I feel so much better.

[beverleycumming]

That’s why sleep, IF and exercise are so important

[icebear]

Another great video. Thanks Dr Sanjay and Dr Fung.

[skippylippy]

I loved this content. Jason is always opening up new and interesting ideas.
Jason led me to intermittent fasting and the keto lifestyle.
Now I'm cancer free and I reversed Diabetes. Thank you Dr. Fung.

[JVerstry]

Unbelievably good and informative contribution here...
