Dr. Jason Fung, No, It's Not The Cholesterol
I asked my doctor to go off a statin after I found an FDA report that linked the drug to elevated glucose levels, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. He agreed with me and took me off the statin. After that I cleaned up my diet and now have normal glucose readings, and have lost 24 lbs.😊
I love Dr. Fung! I read his book The Obesity Code and adopted an 18-6 fasting window with a 36 hour fast once a month. I lost 50 pounds and have never been healthier in my life!
Thank you for your videos. I was so depressed at being diagnosed with type II and my doctor had no ideas other than to treat the symptoms . Then I came across your videos and 4 months later I am 30lbs down and my numbers are trending in the right direction. What a life changer. Thank You so much.
Nobody I know has any idea about good health it's ridiculous. I have a big family I work for the nhs always talking to loads of people I've never met anyone who understands me when I say I eat low carb high fat & protein. I'm 44 years old and in better shape than almost everyone my age, I take my hat off to Dr Fung for giving his time and energy to helping people.
When Doctors say "lose weight" they know what they're talking about. I was morbidly obese and had many health issues related to my obesity (Type 11 Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure (210/110), arthritis and fatty liver disease). I had difficulty walking, and getting up off the chair. I have started exercising everyday (30 minutes to one hour walk everyday) and have lost over 130 pounds. I am now only taking blood pressure medication and my Cardiologist told me I may be able to stop taking my blood pressure medication. I'm 62 years old and feel g-r-e-a-t! My best advice is: lose weight and start walking. You'll notice a difference making gradual changes. Slow and steady wins the race! 😊🚶♀🚶♀
Im on day 39 of a 40 day Fast. Ive dropped over 19Kg so far. I feel great, sleeping better, feel and look much lighter. I recommend a good Fast for everyone. (Male, 49, 6'1", was 119Kg 39 days ago, now 100Kg)
I’m in shock! Thank you for this. I would never ever have taken statins, and certainly stopped sooner when side effects started. Thankfully not on the other alternative medications either. I am so tired of unscientific guidelines being presented as factually based, and benefits being implied as important when the gains are utterly marginal. I have read J Fung’s books and watched videos of his for years and trust his words more than my doctor or UK NHS guidelines. The public expects the medical profession to act professionally, and what we get is organisational incompetence at best. Still shaking my head at how the lifetime benefit of statins is probably less than the time required to physically take the things. Utterly and completely Bonkers!!!
did Intermittent fasting, and drop 10kgs from 180. Lowered my sugar and cholesterol levels. The best, my eyesight is better now. I don't use eyeglasses for reading anymore.
I feel that stress is the worst thing for people, which means that whatever it takes for an individual to reduce stress; they should do that!.
This is great to hear because my doctor is really pushing statins hard. I am a type 2 diabetic as well, so my goal is to completely reverse this stupid chronic illness. I've lowered my a1c significantly and my weight dropped a LOT(even though I wasn't obese to begin with).
Thanks for continuously enriching us with your knowledge. You have turned my life around. Because of you, I learned about I/F and lost 120 lbs., reached an A1C of 4.9. I’m off b.p. and statin meds. I’m so very lucky to have found you here. Thanks again 🙏👍🏻🌷👏🏻🏆
It shocks me how we have all been lied to about statins. And shocked that doctors have bought into the lie also. Thank you Dr Fung for speaking the truth.
