Quick Show Notes – Recast: Jason Fung: Fasting Physiology, Why It Can Transform Healthcare, Impact on Immunity & More
Key Takeaways
● Paradox: We say people with Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) are insulin resistant but there are two functions to insulin (bringing sugar into cells and upregulating de novo lipogenesis). The lipogenesis function is not resistant to insulin at all. So it is perplexing that the body would only be ‘resistant’ to one of the functions of insulin.
● Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day: Your body naturally releases cortisol in the morning causing gluconeogenesis and a release of sugar into the blood so that you have energy when you wake up to go about your day. You do not necessarily need to supplement that energy with an exogenous meal.
