Part 2 · Coming November 2, 2026
A conversation about what drives hunger.
Dr. Jason Fung joins me in San Diego to talk about The Hunger Code. Beyond the question of what we eat is another question: what is making us want to eat? Our conversation explores physical, emotional and social hunger — and the daily habits around them.
02 · Emotional
The feelings we bring to food.
Stress, comfort, boredom and the urge to eat when hunger is not the whole story. A chance to notice patterns without judgment.
03 · Social
The people and occasions around us.
Shared meals, expectations and the wish to belong. How our surroundings can shape when and why we eat.
These are three types of hunger, not the three longevity levels. The challenge’s levels are Belly Goes First, Muscular Repair and Circadian Repair.
Primary-source context · Not individual medical advice
GLP-1s: what does a weight-loss plateau actually mean?
A plateau is not the same as a medication no longer working. Semaglutide trials reported maintained average weight loss through 104 weeks in STEP 5 and 208 weeks in SELECT. These were different study populations; neither establishes a 24-month expiration date.
Individual response varies, and medication decisions belong with your prescriber. Any medication changes should be discussed with your prescriber. Coaching, daily habits and minerals are not replacements for prescribed treatment.
- STEP 5: Two-year effects of semaglutide in adults with overweight or obesity
104 weeks · Adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes, alongside behavioral intervention.
- SELECT: Long-term weight loss effects of semaglutide in obesity without diabetes
208 weeks · Adults with established cardiovascular disease and BMI of at least 27, without diabetes.
