Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Jason Fung. I should say rejoined because if you've been following the

podcast for a while, you'll know we had a prior episode with Dr. Fung, episode number 23.

So if you haven't listened to that, I highly recommend you go back and listen to that.

But Dr. Fong, he's a practicing nephrologist, but that just sells him short to say that's all he is.

He's also a best-selling book author.

He's revolutionized the way we as people and as the medical community think about fasting as a medical intervention.

He's the co-founder of the fasting method.

He's written books about obesity and diabetes

and longevity and of course fasting. And now he's taken on cancer. And it's so interesting to hear

him talk about cancer and what he learned in his book and what he wrote in his book because you can

see his intellectual curiosity. I mean, he's really like a little kid with knowledge.

He's just so excited about it, about all that he's learned,

and what it means for potential therapies,

where we sort of had had missteps, what we can learn from it,

and how we can apply that to the future.

And I mean, this is such an interesting interview

because of the depth and the knowledge that he has.

And I really try to tie it into what can we do about these things.

And of course, fasting is something he talks a lot about.

But it's really putting it into perspective, right?

He's not so simple as to say fasting cures everything, just go and do it.
