Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Dr. Paul Kolodzik has provided metabolic health and weight loss medical services to patients for nearly 15 years. Believing that the key to metabolic health is appropriately limiting carbohydrate intake to achieve blood glucose reduction/stabilization, fat catabolism (burning fat), weight loss, and disease reversal, Dr. Paul is passionate about helping people make the appropriate lifestyle changes to achieve wellness.
Dr. Kolodzik is Board Certified by The American College of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Preventive Medicine. Dr. Kolodzik is also Board Certified in Addiction Medicine. For the past five years, in addition to helping patients succeed at losing weight and reverse chronic disease, he has treated patients with drug, alcohol, and food addiction conditions.
Brian and Paul talk about why faith and medicine are such a great pairing, as well as Paul’s medical background and his ultimate discovery of the low-carb approach to solving metabolic health. Paul explains his move from the ER to a clinical, out-patient type practice, and discusses how the medical field changed from doctors primarily having their own private practices to doctors primarily being employed by a massive medical system.
He also talks about effectively treating people struggling with opiate addiction, the Sinclair Method for treating addiction, the connection between being in ketosis and having a greater ability to fight addictive behaviors, and the role of moderation in breaking addictive behavior. The two doctors go on to discuss Brian’s process for starting a new patient who is interested in improving their metabolic health, the importance of strength training for metabolic health, the relative unimportance of cardio for metabolic health, and when to implement intermittent fasting in a patient’s healthcare plan, and why CGMs are so useful when treating patients with metabolic disorder.
Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
