Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Unlock the secrets to a healthier life with Dr. Paul Kolodzik, as he shares the life-altering benefits of continuous glucose monitoring. This isn't just for those managing diabetes; it's a revelation for anyone grappling with metabolic health. Throughout our conversation, we delve into the insidious effects of high blood sugar on vascular diseases and dissect the dietary choices that could make or break our health. Dr. Kolozdik, with his unique blend of emergency and metabolic health expertise, gives us the lowdown on how simple changes in nutrition and lifestyle can forge a path to overcoming insulin resistance and optimizing overall well-being.
Ever wondered why some people struggle with insulin resistance despite not being overweight? Dr. Kolodzik illuminates the subtle signs of this condition and explains the crucial differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat – knowledge that could redefine your approach to health. Our discussion takes a turn into the inflammatory nature of common dietary oils and how making smarter choices in the kitchen could significantly reduce health risks. The transformative potential of continuous glucose monitoring becomes crystal clear as Dr. Kolodzik walks us through the practical steps for early detection and management of blood sugar irregularities.
We do a deep dive into GLP-1 mania, the benefits, and the downside of these medications. There are nuances to using GLP-1s responsibly and effectively, and Dr. Kolodzik shares his must-haves for patients to not only be successful but for his patients not to be on the drug forever.
The episode wraps up with a strong focus on the power of strength training – particularly for the legs – as an essential tool for maintaining mobility and independence into our later years. Dr. Kolodzik's practice not only embraces the latest in telemedicine but also offers actionable advice for finding healthcare providers who can support your journey to metabolic health. And for those looking to get a leg up on their health, Dr. Kolodzik's personal fitness regimen and his approach to strength training serve as a testament to the importance of a holistic health strategy that you don't want to miss.
