Dr. Lenzkes is co-host of the popular Low Carb MD podcast, which has more than 1.4 million downloads, and he is a professional speaker. Dr. Lenzkes attended UC Irvine and received a Bachelors of Science in Biology before attending University of Southern California Medical School. After graduating in 1999, he started his Residency Program at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego and extended his residency for a year to serve as Chief Resident before starting his private practice career at Internal Medicine Associates in 2004. Dr. Lenzkes has been voted one of the “Top Doctors” in San Diego for 11 years. Even after gaining the respect of the medical community and his patients, Dr. Lenzkes felt a void as many patients with chronic conditions became more sick and required more medications. At the same time Dr. Lenzkes battled his own weight gain while following ‘standard medical advice’. His frustration over the inability of standard medical advice to help his patients with obesity and chronic disease, combined with his own weight gain, led him to the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting.
