#178 – Metabolic Health and CGMs with Dr Paul Kolodzik
Jill and Chris interview Dr. Paul Kolodzik, who uses the technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in his metabolic health practice. With the use of CGMs, he helps his patients achieve weight loss and improved health. He also has integrated the prudent use of the new weight loss medications into his practice.
His new book: The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, presents a comprehensive program for metabolic health success using CGMs and limited use of weight loss medications.
Dr. Kolodzik graduated from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school and residency at Wright State University where he served as chief resident. He is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.
He is board-certified by both the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Physicians. In a thirty-year emergency room career, he has cared for many patients in crises and has witnessed firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and the medical system overall, which prioritizes medications and surgery over diet and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease.
We discussed:
- Metabolic health and metabolic diseases
- How using a CGM helps his patients lose weight and improve their health
- How to obtain a CGM and use it
- Interpreting results from the Continuous Glucose Monitor
- Insulin resistance and insulin sensativity
- Eating to control blood sugar
- Possible side effects from weight loss drugs and why he uses micro dosing
