Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/08/best-of-lenzkes-responsible-doctoring-episode-1643

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. LENZKES

  • Practices internal medicine
    • Treats many with diabetes and those who are obese
  • He was a football player and wrestler in high school
  • Always struggled with weight
    • Particularly in med school (plus, they didn't teach him much)
  • He couldn't figure out how to lose weight, so struggled to help patients lose weight, too
    • Found a bunch of luminaries like Jason Fung who showed him the way with low carb
  • He Has lost tons of weight personally.

RESPONSIBLE DOCTORING

  • He has begun recommending keto diet to his patients.
  • Doctors in med school take things that they learn at face value
  • It is NOT the patient's fault most of the time that they struggle to lose weight
    • So much easier to think a drug fixes it, etc.

FAT DOC IS OUT
