Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the distinction between chronic caloric restriction and fasting, and how it affects the body in terms of energy storage and use. It is explained that the body stores energy in three compartments: what’s coming in, what’s being stored, and what’s being used. Insulin is a hormone that tells the body to store energy, and if insulin is high, the body will store calories instead of burning them. A low calorie diet combined with high insulin levels can actually cause weight gain, and it is important to pay attention to the types of foods consumed in order to properly manage insulin levels. Sugar is particularly fattening and should be avoided, while a diet consisting of satiating amounts of calories that don’t trigger insulin can lead to weight loss.

Understanding Hormones and Calories: Expert Insights on Fasting for Weight Loss and Metabolic Health
The relationship between hormones and calories is often overlooked in the quest for weight loss and metabolic health. Simply reducing calorie intake does not guarantee a healthy body. Fasting, a popular approach to weight loss, makes matters even more complex. In this article, we’ll explore expert insights on how to approach fasting for weight loss and improved metabolic health.
Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and co-founder of the Fasting Method program, supports educating people on how diabetes and weight loss can be controlled through intermittent fasting. He emphasizes that it is not just about calories, but also about hormones. Insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating glucose levels, plays a significant role in fat loss. Dr. Fung’s approach to fasting aims to lower insulin levels to enable fat-burning.
Dr. Alan Goldhamer, founder of TrueNorth Health Center, focuses on healing patients through plant-based vegan diets and clinical fasting. His research indicates that fasting and exercise lead to greater weight loss, but fasting and rest promote the mobilization of fat, particularly visceral fat. Dr. Goldhamer also cautions against drinking too much water while fasting, as it can flush out electrolytes and cause water intoxication.
Mike Mutzel, a functional medicine consultant, advocates for evidence-based natural medicine. He believes that fat loss is not the best proxy for health and promotes the consumption of carbohydrates before exercise to properly fuel the body.
In conclusion, it is essential to understand the impact of hormones on weight loss and metabolic health. Intermittent fasting can be a useful tool when approached correctly. The insights shared by experts like Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Mike Mutzel can guide individuals towards a more disciplined approach to fasting that prioritizes health and well-being.

On Today’s Episode:
Not understanding hormones and calories is leading more of us to metabolic problems than a little bit. Unfortunately, losing weight and having healthier blood glucose levels isn’t as simple as eating less and restricting calories. To make matters worse, fasting, although a popular method of weight loss and health, is a lot more complicated than not eating.
In this we have experts such as Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Mike Mutzel sharing their insights and research on how to approach fasting for weight loss and improved metabolic health.
Dr Jason Fung is a nephrologist and the co-founder of the Fasting Method program which has helped millions of people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes. Unlike many nephrologists, Dr Fung supports and encourages the education of diabetes and weight loss being possible through intermittent fasting. He’s a NY Times bestselling author and respected voice on fasting, weight loss, nutrition, and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center. His clinic focuses on healing patients through plant based vegan diets, and clinical fasting. Dr Goldhamer is also the author of The Pleasure Trap, Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness.
Mike Mutzel is a functional medicine consultant in the natural product industry. He’s obsessed with evidence-based natural medicine and is the author of the Bell Fat Effect. Mike is also the founder of High Intensity Health.
