𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲: Dr. Paul Kolodzik, a board-certified ER doctor with 30+ years of experience, joins us to discuss his transition from emergency medicine to focusing on metabolic health. Driven by the desire to prevent conditions he saw in the ER, Dr. Kolodzik now empowers patients to take control of their health by reversing insulin resistance and preventing lifestyle-related diseases. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 Dr. Kolodzik shares his shift to helping patients address preventable conditions through metabolic health. Frustrated by treating diseases like heart attacks, strokes, and diabetic complications, he now focuses on root causes, particularly insulin resistance and obesity. "A vast number of ER cases are preventable. I wanted to get in front of those issues to help patients avoid the ER entirely." 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗖𝗚𝗠) 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 Dr. Kolodzik explains the role of CGMs in tracking blood sugar levels in real-time. Originally developed for diabetics, CGMs have revolutionized how his patients understand the impact of diet on their health. "Once patients see how food choices affect blood sugar, they can’t 'unsee' it. This knowledge drives them to make healthier decisions."

"Our bodies weren't designed for the carb-heavy diets many follow today. Reducing carbs and building muscle can have transformative health benefits."
