An intensive care physician who has spent 20 years watching preventable diseases destroy lives shares the brutal reality of what metabolic dysfunction looks like in the ICU - and the simple steps that could keep you out of his unit entirely.Dr. Kwadwo Carmen-Tang pulls no punches as he describes the devastating cycle he witnesses daily: patients arriving with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, then leaving weaker, traumatized, and fundamentally changed by their ICU experience. But here's what medical school never taught him - these conditions are often completely reversible.In this raw conversation, Dr. K breaks down the single most powerful intervention that could transform your metabolic health, explains why hospital food is finally changing, and shares his frustration with a healthcare system that treats symptoms instead of root causes. From his work implementing real food initiatives in Canadian hospitals to his grassroots approach to changing medicine from within, this ICU veteran is fighting to make prevention the priority it should have always been.Whether you're a healthcare provider looking for practical tools or someone who wants to take control of their health trajectory, this episode delivers actionable strategies that could literally save your life. The movement toward metabolic health is real, and Dr. K is proving that change is possible - one protein-focused meal at a time.BIG IDEA"If we could avoid even half a percent, 2% of ICU admissions through metabolic health, man that's putting a dent in so many people's lives."Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng Contact InfoWebsite: https://drkwadwo.ca/Book: Prevention over Prescription: https://drkwadwo.ca/books/Podcast: https://drkwadwo.ca/prevention-over-prescription-podcast/Gyata Nutrition: https://gyatanutrition.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
