Guest Bio
Dr. Spencer Nadolsky
Dr. Spencer Nadolsky is an osteopathic family physician who specializes in weight loss (bariatric medicine) and lipidology. His philosophy is to push lifestyle before drugs (when possible). Lifting, eating, laughter, and sleeping being his current first line medicines.
After a successful athletic career at UNC-Chapel Hill, Spencer attended medical school at VCOM Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He wrestled in the Heavy Weight division for the UNC Tar Heels for 3 years and was ranked in the top 4 of the nation at one point. His goal is to use what he learned as an athlete and apply it to his patients to help them get as healthy as possible using lifestyle as medicine.
