About this episode

This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠The Primal Skincare. Dr Jason Fung is an expert in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity with science. He will explain why it’s not about calories; it’s about insulin and cortisol. Both are important for reducing blood sugar and insulin levels. In this episode, we reveal: The Calorie Myth: Why eating less just slows down your metabolism and leaves you trapped. Fat Storage Mode: How high insulin levels physically lock your fat cells so your body cannot burn them for fuel. Reversing Diabetes: Why type 2 diabetes is a dietary disease that can be reversed, not a life sentence. Food Order Secrets: How changing the order of the foods on your plate alters how your hormones react. Fasting for Freedom: Simple, no-cost fasting methods that reset your body and lower your insulin naturally.
