Episode 136: Dr. Jason Fung
In an eye-opening episode of the Thrive State podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Jason Fung, a renowned expert in fasting and chronic diseases. Together, we delved into the limitations of modern medicine and explored how fasting and diet can serve as the best medicine for the 21st century. This blog post is designed to synthesize key takeaways and offer actionable advice.
Conventional Medicine’s Missing Link
According to Dr. Jason Fung, conventional medicine has long been fixated on a pill-for-every-ill approach. Despite the success in combating infectious diseases, this model falls short when it comes to chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
A New Approach: Fasting & Diet
Dr. Fung highlights the need for a paradigm shift towards diet and lifestyle as the primary treatment for metabolic diseases. Studies have shown that dietary changes can significantly impact chronic conditions. For example, Dr. Unwin in the UK achieved a 47.9% drug-free remission rate for his diabetic patients simply by adopting a low-carb diet[^1^].
