Dr. Kolodzik shares his journey from 25 years in emergency medicine to pioneering metabolic health practices. After witnessing countless preventable health crises, he now focuses on proactive approaches to reverse diseases like Diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance.

Dr. Kolodzik simplifies the concept of insulin resistance, explaining how prolonged high carbohydrate diets lead to glucose overload, fat storage, and difficulty in losing weight. Learn how Lifestyle habits, including Diet and Exercise, can reverse this condition and prevent progression to diabetes.

The Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle

Dr. Kolodzik emphasizes the importance of low-carb diets, reducing carbohydrate intake to below 50 grams per day, intermittent fasting to improve metabolic efficiency, and strength training to build muscle mass and increase insulin sensitivity.

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): A Game Changer

Dr. Kolodzik introduces CGMs as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. These wearable devices provide real-time insights into blood sugar levels, helping individuals make informed dietary and lifestyle choices.
