How Continuous Glucose Monitoring is Revolutionizing Weight Loss: A Conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik

Podcast Episode
Written By Patrick Bass

On this special Veterans Day episode of The Patrick Bass Show, host Patrick Bass offers heartfelt thanks to all veterans and welcomes Dr. Paul Kolodzik, a leading voice in metabolic health, to discuss the transformative power of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). This breakthrough tool empowers users to take control of their blood sugar levels, achieve sustainable weight loss, and reverse pre-diabetes or diabetes—all without invasive medications.

The Metabolic Health Crisis

For decades, the standard dietary advice has emphasized low-fat diets and calorie counting. But as Dr. Kolodzik reveals, this approach has failed millions, leading to an epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. "We were sold a bill of goods," he says, pointing to the disastrous impact of high-carb processed foods.

CGMs, once limited to diabetics, are now available over-the-counter and offer real-time insights into how specific foods affect blood sugar. Dr. Kolodzik’s patients often experience life-changing results by pairing CGM data with a low-carb diet.

The CGM Advantage

Unlike traditional methods like urine ketone testing, CGMs provide 24/7 data through a small sensor placed on the arm. This allows users to monitor their glucose levels in real time, enabling immediate dietary adjustments. “Once you see what those foods are doing to your blood sugar, you can’t unsee it,” says Dr. Kolodzik.

Why Low-Carb Wins

A low-carb diet not only supports weight loss but also addresses the root cause of metabolic disorders: insulin resistance. This condition, where the body struggles to process excess blood sugar, leads to fat storage and inflammation. Reducing carb intake allows the body to burn fat more efficiently, promoting both weight loss and improved energy levels.

The Role of Intermittent Fasting and Strength Training

Dr. Kolodzik advocates for a holistic approach that includes intermittent fasting and strength training. Intermittent fasting helps regulate insulin and promotes fat burning, while strength training increases muscle mass, improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic rate.

The Bigger Picture: Taking Control of Your Health

The takeaway is clear: the traditional "eat less, move more" mantra isn't enough. Through tools like CGMs, individuals can gain unprecedented insight into their bodies and make informed choices. "It's about empowerment," Dr. Kolodzik emphasizes.

For those interested in taking the next step, Dr. Kolodzik’s book, The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, serves as a comprehensive guide. Learn how to access and use CGMs effectively to transform your health journey.
