- Sneak peak of history and luminary commentary
DR. LENZKES
- Practices internal medicine
- Treats many with diabetes and those who are obese
- He was a football player and wrestler in high school
- Always struggled with weight
- Particularly in med school (plus, they didn’t teach him much)
- He couldn’t figure out how to lose weight, so struggled to help patients lose weight, too
- Found a bunch of luminaries like Jason Fung who showed him the way with low carb
- Has lost tons of weight personally
- Recently has begun recommending keto diet to his patients
- Doctors in med school take things that they learn at face value
- It is NOT the patient’s fault most of the time that they struggle to lose weight
- So much easier to think a drug fixes it, etc.
