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.
