Spencer Nadolsky is a licensed practicing board certified family and bariatric (weight loss) medicine physician. He is a PHD in Lipidology . After a successful athletic career at UNC-Chapel Hill, Nadolsky enrolled in medical school at VCOM (Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine) with aspirations to change the world of medicine by pushing lifestyle before drugs (when possible).
