This Topic Polarizes People | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Paul Kolodzik

Paul Kolodzik, MD is board-certified by both the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Physicians. In a thirty-year emergency room career, he has cared for many patients in crises and has witnessed firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and the medical system overall, which prioritizes medications and surgery over diet and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease. In his metabolic health practice Dr. Kolodzik uses the technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), previously used only by diabetics, to help his patients achieve weight loss and improved health.  In his recently published book, The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, Dr. Kolodzik shares how he has helped thousands of patients lose weight, and prevent and reverse metabolic diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, prediabetes, GERD, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, and others using CGM. In this book, he presents a comprehensive program for metabolic health success using CGMs. Dr. Kolodzik graduated from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school and residency at Wright State University where he served as chief resident. He is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.

Bathroom Woes? Try This Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker & Mike

Mike reached out to Dr. Baker to share his transformative health journey over the last seven years. From childhood, he experienced chronic stomach issues and anxiety related to his condition. Despite being an active athlete in college football and rugby, his gastrointestinal problems persisted into his 30s. As a Firefighter/Paramedic, he faced challenges due to his morning routines caused by these issues. After numerous medical tests and a late diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in his late 20s, Mike turned to dietary changes for relief.

Be Careful What Doctors You Listen To | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Sean Murphy

Since he was a child, Sean struggled with anemia of chronic inflammation and mixed connective tissue disease. His symptoms became worse when he was in college, and after visiting a rheumatologist, he was put on hydroxychloroquine for immunosuppression. In 2019, he was working on a gut microbiome research project at the University of Arizona. During that time, an undergraduate student mentioned to him how an all-beef diet may be of benefit to autoimmune disease.  Having been thoroughly indoctrinated into medical culture, he was firmly in the grasp of a pescatarian lifestyle. He would eat fruit, corn chips, vegetables, and hummus daily, with an occasional can of sardines. His hemoglobin was steadily dropping along with his exercise tolerance, he was experiencing worsening joint pain, and began having simple partial seizures. A rheumatologist then recommended starting stronger immunosuppressive therapy such as azathioprine.  That's when he remembered what the student had told him and he found the work of Dr. Shawn Baker and Paul Saladino. In 2020, very shortly after he started the strict carnivorous diet, strictly red meat and butter, he experienced nothing short of a miraculous resolution of his symptoms. Joint pain abated, normocytic anemia resolved within several months for the first time in his life, and seizure activity resolved. As he became more interested in the work of Paul Saladino, he began touting the dangers of long-term ketosis and the benefits of fruit and honey. Regrettably, he followed this advice over the course of the next 2 years.  Although his autoimmune disease did not return, his seizures became more frequent and eventually more severe, requiring him to start taking Keppra, an antiepileptic medication. He didn't think that the cause could be his copious consumption of sugary fruits and massive amounts of honey. He then began to read criticisms of this strategy and, honestly, his respect for Dr. Saladino deteriorated with his incessant promotion of dubious organ pills. Since this past winter, he's been consistently in ketosis, eating zero carbohydrates, with commensurate steady improvement in the temporal lobe epilepsy.  Recent publications such as 'Brain Energy' by Dr. Chris Palmer have highlighted to him how important brain metabolism is for neurological conditions. He hopes that no one else makes the same mistake and reaps all the incredible benefits of long-term ketosis through a carnivorous diet.

THE "Mediterranean" Diet Is Flawed, Here's Why | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Thanos Efthimiou

Thanos is a Greek medical doctor, who specialized in internal medicine and was trained in Germany, with additional expertise in subspecialties like infectious diseases and medical nutrition. After meeting Dr. Shawn Baker at a keto gathering and being encouraged to participate in a podcast, he shared his personal health journey of adopting a nearly 98% carnivore diet over the last four years, through which he combated his chronic diseases, including obesity, fatty liver, arterial hypertension, hyperuricemia, eczema, and alopecia areata. Even his periocular vitiligo, present since childhood, nearly vanished.  Witnessing his own remarkable health transformation and recognizing the supportive scientific literature, he began applying similar lifestyle modifications to his patients, repeatedly observing the reversal of chronic conditions, such as sleep apnea and arterial hypertension. Even patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) demonstrated clear improvements under his guidance. Almost all patients who were willing to alter their eating habits experienced health improvements.  Currently, he is launching his private practice in Athens, Greece, incorporating a Lifestyle Medicine Network that not only includes physicians from various specialties but also nutritionists, physiotherapists, and coaches. The aim is to provide comprehensive care to patients in Athens and, gradually, in other locations as well.
