I'm excited to sit down with Dr. Brian Lenzkes. We talk about the importance of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), how to manage stress, and much more. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Dr. Brian Lenzkes is an internal medicine doctor based in San Diego who has focused much of his attention on clinical nutrition. He owned his own medical practice with a group of physicians from 2004-2020. Dr. Lenzkes is co-host of the popular LowCarbMD podcast, which has more than 1.4 million downloads, and is a professional speaker.
Dr. Lenzkes attended UC Irvine and received a Bachelor of Science in Biology before attending the University of Southern California Medical School. Dr. Lenzkes has been voted one of the “Top Doctors” in San Diego for 11 years.
