Toxic levels of insulin, better known as insulin resistance, are caused by a lifetime of poor dietary habits and are the number-one contributing factor to the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Through years of research and clinical practice, Ramos and Dr. Fung have created a revolutionary program to combat insulin resistance and control diabetes and other obesity-related health conditions. Their Intensive Dietary Management Program promotes strategies that have been proven to lower insulin levels and aid in weight loss.

Ramos is also the co-host of the popular podcast "The Obesity Code Podcast: Stories from Intensive Dietary Management" Dr. Jason Fung earned his medical degree at the University of Toronto, where he also completed his internal medicine residency before heading to UCLA for a fellowship in nephrology (a branch of medicine concerned with the kidneys). He currently practices as a kidney specialist in Toronto. During the course of treating thousands of patients, it became clear to Dr. Fung that the epidemic of type 2 diabetes and obesity was getting worse. The prevailing dietary recommendations for reducing dietary fat and calories were clearly ineffective. In response, he founded Intensive Dietary Management (intensivedietarymanagement.com) to provide a unique treatment focus for type 2 diabetes and obesity that promotes simple yet effective dietary changes rather than focusing on medications.
