Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Judy Wolfe is a sugar/food addiction recovery coach at SUGARx Global. She has been sugar/grain/flour/alcohol free for 19 years and has lost 130 lbs. Today, she is happily free from craving and lives in contented abstinence from the substances that once controlled her and were slowly poisoning her. She is passionate about helping others achieve the same recovery that she has. Judy is SUGAR Certified/Licensed, HMA certified, and FAP (Functional Analytic Psychotherapy) certified.

In this episode, Tro, Brian, and Judy talk about the genetic aspect of food/sugar addiction, the behavioral signs of a person struggling with food addiction, the time period for addiction recovery, philosophical issues with public policies that try to tax an addictive food substance into obscurity and disuse, why stress is the number one killer of the addiction recovery process, why moderation is emphatically NOT the answer for those who are truly sugar/food addicted, how diets don’t work but good nutrition does, the beauty and power of community in the addiction recovery process, and the difference between an addict and a harmful user.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. He is also the author of many popular and influential books on the topics of nutrition and metabolic health (see links below). His qualifications, education, and full list of accomplishments are too extensive to list in their entirety here (see link below for his full bio).

In this episode, Tro, Brian, and Rob talk about how Rob first discovered that fructose was so unhealthy, why suppressing insulin is key to metabolic health, why Western people in general are still opposed to or wary of the message that ‘sugar is bad’, why whole food diets are the ideal for human health, reasons why fiber in the diet is beneficial, why processed food may be a necessary evil in our modern food landscape and how we can make ultra-processed foods healthier in light of that possibility, the basic principles of making ultra-processed food healthier and what makes food healthy for humans in general, mitochondrial toxins (what they are, and where they come from), and the amygdala’s role in psychiatric disease.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Paul Kolodzik is a double board-certified emergency and metabolic-health physician with thirty years of experience. As a private-practice metabolic MD, Dr. Kolodzik has used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to help thousands of patients lose weight and prevent and reverse disease. In his first book, The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, Dr. Kolodzik presents a comprehensive program for metabolic-health success using CGM. He is also the Medical Director and Owner of Metabolic MD and is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Physicians. In addition to holding a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Notre Dame and a Doctor of Medicine from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, he has a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Dallas.

In this episode, Tro and Paul talk about how the medical landscape and, specifically, the diabetes treatment landscape is changing, why CGMs are a huge part of this change in the landscape, why CGMs are so effective for weight-loss and diabetes reversal, how the changing landscape is a movement toward the democratization of health, whether the term ‘reversed’ is appropriate when speaking of diabetes and metabolic disease, a few key problems in the standard Western healthcare education model, and the benefits of smaller private medical practices that are owned by doctors.
