Dr. Spencer Nadolsky is the medical editor of Examine.com and a licensed practicing Board-certified family and bariatric (weight loss) medicine physician.
While earning a BA in exercise science, he wrestled heavyweight for the UNC Tar Heels, and at one point was ranked in the top 4 of the US.
Now he wrestles poor health on behalf of his clients, particularly those who are struggling with chronic and lifestyle diseases.
Doc Spencer’s new book, The Fat Loss Prescription, is a simple, clear, readable how-to for patients wanting to make healthier choices and improve their quality of life.
It also explores other issues that can factor in to poor health and excess body fat — such as medication use, sleep, and stress.
