They’re all metabolic problems, that is, Type II diabetes and all the problems that go along with obesity such as sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and all those sorts of problems. A lot of the problems that we face are not what we used to face, which is infections and so on. About 10 years ago now, 8 years ago now, I became very interested in the question of nutrition, obesity, because that’s really the core problem of what faces us in the medical world. I trained very conventionally, through internal medicine, and then I did a couple of years in Los Angeles for my nephrology. I’m a kidney specialist by trade, so I’m a physician. Look, the first question I ask everyone on the show is if a complete stranger stopped you on the street and asked you what you did for a living, what would you say? Did I pronounce your surname right? I should have asked you before we started Anyway, let’s go over to Jason Fung, enjoy. I read all the reviews and now we’d be happy to read them out on the podcast as well. That’s one thing I’d ask for guys, and really appreciate it if you do.

We had Jason on and basically grilled him for 55 minutes to unleash as much knowledge as we could. Should we be scared of it? Are we going to lose muscle mass? You know, all sorts of stuff. We cover things from fasting as an application to obesity, to diabetes, especially Type II, to then obviously just weight loss and the health maintenance and even in athleticism as well, you know, what are the precautions around it, what should be looking for, is fasting hard, can we eat whatever we do outside of fasting and so forth, and why should we do it.

I do personally implement little bits of fasting in my life, so it’s great to get a guy that’s been studying it for the last four years and applying it to hundreds and hundreds of patients in his medical practice in the US. Now, fasting is a topic that we haven’t really covered on the podcast before. Jason Fung, and we are getting into the topic of fasting.
