Review of the 2022 Metabolic Health Summit - #38
05/10/22 • 52 min
Dr. Ovadia summed up his highlights during the Metabolic Health Summit last May 5-8 in Santa Barabara, CA.
- Testing is crucial. We can now keep track of various aspects of our metabolic health thanks to the availability of fingerstick meters, continuous glucose monitors, and at-home testing equipment.
- Additionally, supplements are relevant to metabolic health. It should be targeted and measured. A symptom tied to a deficiency must be present. When you supplement, its effect can be measured as the symptom improves.
- The ketogenic diet was initially developed as an epilepsy treatment. Studies show that it can affect nerve function and the brain. Recovery from injuries may also benefit from the anti-inflammatory effects of metabolic diets.
- A genetic or environmental factor contributes to the increased prevalence of cancer. However, clinical evidence also demonstrates the effectiveness of metabolic treatments for cancer.
The Metabolic Health Summit brings together all the players in the metabolic health space. Listen to this episode to hear Dr. Ovadia's take on recent developments in metabolic therapy and ketosis, and his over-all experience in the Metabolic Health Summit.

Dr. Brian Lenzkes - My Insurance Company Didn't Want Me to Help Patients Heal #37
After years of treating diabetes, Brian Lenzkes understood that the answer to the disease is not just medication. His experience with fasting and low carb prompted him to focus on nutrition to treat his diabetic patients. In the process, he spent more time with them to explain things. Doctors don't even have time to discuss nutrition in the typical 10-15 minute session. He knew he had to make changes.
In this conversation, he gives us a rundown of his experience as a doctor that depends on HMO incentives. He also shared the low-carb approach to managing diabetes, and why he has now chosen to practice direct primary care.

Get to know our guest:
Brian Lenzkes started with standard practice as a physician, but after 18 years, he focused on direct primary care. As a direct primary care doctor, he gets to spend more time educating patients about their diseases and even discussing nutrition and low-carb diet, as needed, with them. He knows it’s more important to heal the patient than just treat the symptoms and get incentives from HMO.

Metabolic Health OG William Davis, MD - #39
Can you possibly identify if someone's at risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest? That question run through Dr. William Davis’ mind when his mother died due to cardiac death. He found the helpful predictor and the most common cause of coronary disease, and it is not cholesterol as we were led to believe. The culprit? Grains and sugars. He counters different notions about health and treatments and addresses the factors that allow the disease to emerge in the first place: diet, lack of nutrients, and disrupted microbiome.
We talked about his transformation from a traditional cardiologist to one of the leading voices in the metabolic health field. We discuss the role of supplements, hormones, and the surprising importance of probiotics in restoring and maintaining metabolic health. We finish up with an unexpected twist - symptom-specific probiota.
Quick Guide:
0:27 Guest Introduction
2:35 Can we identify that someone’s at risk of sudden cardiac death?
9:16 We can’t consume grass and digest the proteins down to amino acids
14:52 Address the diet
21:25 To not just give drugs, but to actually treat the cause
24:26 The physicians’ willful ignorance
28:31 Challenges of getting the message out in mainstream media
33:24 Super Gut
39:20 The SIBO process
47:54 How microbiome benefits our health
Get to know our guest:
Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist by training and is knowns as one of the forefathers of the metabolic health movement. He authored several books including Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut.
“But the key here is once you look past all the nonsense, we're told, cut your fat, eat more healthy whole grains, you do the opposite, eat more fat, never eat grains, wonderful things happen.” - Dr. William Davis
