Dr. Jason Fung joins Jorge Cruise to break down why midlife belly fat isn’t a “calories problem.” It’s a hunger + hormones problem. You’ll learn how insulin drives weight gain, how time-restricted eating can work (especially for midlife women), the biggest fasting mistakes, and how to think about GLP-1 meds as a tool (with pros/cons). We also dig into conditioned hunger, social eating, thyroid concerns, and why protein + healthy fats matter when you’re trying to control hunger for the long term.
