Summary
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Christopher Netzel is board certified in pain medicine and anesthesiology. He earned his doctorate degree with University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison in 2014.

His medical residency in anesthesiology was completed at University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics in Madison. Later, Dr. Netzel completed a fellowship in Pain Medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
In this episode, Drs. Tro, Brian, and Christopher talk about how Dr. Christopher got into medicine, how to help overweight patients begin their health journey without overwhelming and discouraging them, the relationship between diet and chronic pain, putting diabetes into remission and treating peripheral neuropathy, heart disease and low carb dieting, why bariatric surgery, though sometimes necessary and useful, is not a permanent/comprehensive weight-loss solution, and other current pain treatment options and drugs.
