The Truth About Insulin Resistance & The Hunger Code with Dr. Jason Fung

Could everything you know about weight loss be wrong?

In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan sits down with world-renowned kidney specialist and best-selling author Dr. Jason Fung to discuss the science behind weight gain, insulin resistance, and his new book, 'The Hunger Code'.

Dr. Fung explains why the "calories in, calories out" model is a failure of logic and how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 act as the body’s metabolic thermostat. We dive deep into:

- The three types of hunger (Homeostatic, Hedonic, and Conditioned).

- Why food addiction to ultra-processed foods is real and how to treat it.

- The role of intermittent fasting in resetting your biological signals.

- Why metabolic health is about more than just the number on your scale.

- The vital importance of purpose and community for long-term survival.
