172. "You can reverse insulin resistance when you cut sugar": Dr. Paul

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?Listen to Dr. Paul on Episode 172 to find out!To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group, so that you can  get rid of cravings, slim down, and finally feel in control around food... join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
