If weight loss was as simple as "eat less and move more"…

you'd already be done.

But here's the truth most people over 50 are never told:

Your body doesn't run on math.

It runs on hormones.

And if your insulin is elevated… you are not burning fat — no matter how disciplined you are.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Jason Fung — bestselling author of The Obesity Code and one of the world's leading voices on metabolic health — explains why the calorie model has been failing millions of people for decades.

This episode goes far beyond surface-level fasting advice.

We unpack:

• Why calorie counting doesn't fix the real problem

• How insulin determines whether you store fat or burn it

• Why perimenopause and midlife weight gain are hormonal — not willpower

• The 3 types of hunger (homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned)

• How ultra-processed foods hijack your appetite

• Why fasting works physiologically — and how to approach it intelligently

• The 3 Golden Rules for lasting metabolic health

Dr. Fung also explains why controlling hunger — not restricting calories — is the real breakthrough. Because until hunger is addressed, discipline will always lose.

If you've tried 10 diets…

If you've blamed yourself…

If you've felt like your metabolism is "broken"…

This episode will completely reframe how you see your body.
