Episode 172: Dr. Paul Kolodzik

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. He 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.

In this episode, Brian and Paul talk about the value of CGMs, what Dr. Paul learned working in the Emergency Department, making the time spent with patients as purposeful and efficient as possible, some serious philosophical problems in Western healthcare generally, the slow shift in the thinking of doctors to embrace the importance of lifestyle intervention for metabolic health, how diet is related to addiction, the current plague of addiction and depression wreaking havoc in the U.S., the value of having a spiritual practice and faith in a higher power, the various ways people meet death when the end of their life comes, and the terrible problem of physician burnout.

Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
