As good as Ozempic? Tools for Managing Hunger

Picture of Dr. Jason Fung

Most people believe that counting calories is the key to weight loss, but that is a major misconception. The real secret to lasting weight loss isn’t about calories—it’s about controlling hunger. Drugs like Ozempic and GLP-1 agonists have proven this by targeting appetite, but you don’t need medication to achieve these results.

In this video, I break down the science of hunger management and share 3 powerful natural tools to help you suppress appetite and extend your fasting window comfortably. We discuss the hormonal impact of protein, the metabolic benefits of green tea, and the thermic effect of ginger.

I also introduce a new product line called Aeira, which I helped develop to make bone broth and fasting teas more accessible and effective for everyone. Finally, you’ll hear the inspiring story of Heather, a nurse practitioner who transformed her health by understanding that “hunger is a liar” and learning to control it.

In this video, you will learn:

✅ The Calorie Myth: Why focusing on calories fails and why hunger is the root cause of overeating.

✅ Bone Broth Benefits: Why traditional bone broth works for satiety and why bouillon cubes are not a valid substitute.

✅ Green Tea Science: How catechins and caffeine in green tea improve metabolic rate and reduce hunger.

✅ The Power of Ginger: New research showing how ginger and herbal teas increase the thermic effect of food and promote fullness.

✅ Real Success Story: How Heather used these exact tools to overcome lifelong obesity.

📘 PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK: “The Hunger Code” (Coming March 2026) This book is a direct sequel to The Obesity Code and dives deep into hunger management and resetting your body’s fat thermostat.
