#141 - Weight Loss Medications with Dr. Paul Kolodzik
Paul Kolodzik, MD, FACEP, FASAM is Board Certified in Preventive Medicine, has been using the GLP-1 medications since they were first approved by the FDA in 2017. He was one of the early physician prescribers of these medications to help his patients achieve weight loss and improved metabolic health. In his metabolic health and weight loss practice, Dr. Kolodzik has assisted over 1,000 patients lose weight and reverse chronic diseases such as prediabetes, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea. Based on this experience, he has become a leading expert in the field of metabolic health, and a specialist related to the use of the new FDA-approved GLP-1 weight loss medications. He thoroughly understands not only these medications' potential benefits, but also their risks (such as muscle mass loss and weight regain upon discontinuation). He understands how these medications can be used prudently as part of a comprehensive weight loss and health improvement program. Working with his patients, he uses the medications in a manner (for example low doses, limited time periods) to avoid creating life-long dependency on them. Need 1-on-1 Fitness Support?
