Dr. Jason Fung Speaking Topics
Fasting has exploded in popularity. Some call it the most powerful tool for weight loss and metabolic health. Others warn it is dangerous, extreme, and unsustainable. So what is actually true?
In this lecture, Dr. Jason Fung cuts through the noise and breaks fasting down to first principles. You will learn how fasting impacts insulin, fat storage, and energy regulation, and why traditional calorie-focused approaches often fail long term.
In addition to learning about the benefits, Dr. Fung addresses the risks. Who should not fast. Common mistakes that lead to poor outcomes. Why some people feel worse instead of better. He also discusses common myths and the reality of fasting in the real world.
This session is designed to provide a clear framework to decide if fasting is right for you and how to do it properly.
Most people approach fasting the wrong way. They copy protocols and chase trends. This more advanced lecture delves deeper into the science of fasting and its benefits, risks and potential to improve health if done correctly.
Dr. Jason Fung explains the five stages of fasting, autophagy and potential for cellular rejuvenation including studies that point to reversing biological age with certain fasting protocols.
This lecture is appropriate for those who have a health background or interest such as medical professionals and biohackers.
Weight loss is not just about eating less and moving more, it would actually work. That’s because body weight is controlled far more by hormones than by simple calorie math.
In this lecture, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down the real drivers of weight gain and fat storage, focusing on insulin, hunger hormones, and the body’s built-in “set weight.” You’ll learn why dieting often backfires, why hunger increases when you cut calories, and why willpower is not the problem.
Dr. Fung explains how modern eating patterns keep insulin elevated, locking the body into fat-storage mode. More importantly, he outlines practical ways to lower insulin, regulate appetite, and allow the body to access stored fat naturally.
This is not another diet talk. It’s a shift in how you understand weight loss at a biological level. This lecture will show you why and what actually works from a medical professional who has been writing about the topic for over a decade.
Most weight loss advice fails for one simple reason: it ignores hunger. If you just eat less, your hunger goes up, and you'll lose. If you reduce hunger, you'll eventually eat less, and then you'll win.
In this lecture, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down why willpower is not the problem. Instead, the key lies in understanding and controlling the three distinct types of hunger that drive eating behavior.
First is homeostatic (physical) hunger. Second is hedonic (emotional) hunger, triggered by stress, boredom, and reward-seeking. Third is conditioned (social) hunger, a response to time, environment, and routine.
Dr. Fung explains how modern diets keep all three activated at once, making weight loss feel impossible. He then outlines practical strategies to separate, identify, and reduce each type, allowing your body’s natural fat-regulation system to work properly.
This is not about calorie counting or restriction. It is about regaining control over when and why you eat. Attendees will leave with a clear framework to reduce cravings, extend satiety, and make weight loss sustainable without constant effort or frustration.
If you understand hunger, you control weight.
