Listen to episode 172:
"You can reverse insulin resistance when you cut sugar": Dr. Paul
April 28, 2024
My guest Dr. Paul Kolodzik trained as an MD in emergency medicine.
In this episode, he freely admits that like most physicians, he didn't get much training on nutrition.
But what he learned over a period of time is that avoiding sugar, eating low carb, and making sure you get adequate protein really is the way to both better health and better longevity.
Dr. Kolodzik explains what insulin resistance is, and why it's a much bigger issue than cholesterol for the vast majority of his patients.
But in med school, he says that the approach to insulin resistance was to treat it with more insulin. And there was very little emphasis on the fact that pre-diabetes can be reversed with lifestyle changes, including cutting sugar.
Why isn't insulin resistance talked about more? And what can we as patients and consumers do in order to take control of our health?
