DocsWhoLift

DocsWhoLift is a podcast created by Doctors Karl and Spencer Nadolsky, dedicated to cutting through health and wellness misinformation and giving everyday people the tools to separate real, evidence-based medicine from hype, fads, and quick fixes.

The health space is louder and more confusing than ever as social media is flooded with conflicting advice, miracle cures, and claims that sound convincing but don’t hold up to scrutiny. DocsWhoLift exists to be a trustworthy counterweight: two physicians, who actually lift, breaking down the actual evidence behind the topics people are hearing about, from diabetes and obesity to nutrition, exercise, hormones, and the latest drugs and trends making headlines.

Evidence over hype

We’re not selling a gimmick, a supplement stack, or a one-size-fits-all plan. Every episode is grounded in the medical literature and filtered through real clinical experience combined with our own backgrounds as physicians who’ve competed and coached at a high level. That mix lets us translate dense research into something practical and understandable, without dumbing it down or overselling it.

Who we are

Dr. Karl Nadolsky is a board-certified endocrinologist specializing in diabetes, obesity, and metabolic health, and a former U.S. Navy medical officer. Dr. Spencer Nadolsky trained in family medicine and is board-certified in obesity and lipid medicine. Both bring a lifelong athletic background to the table, which shapes how they think about lifestyle, performance, and long-term health; not just treating disease, but helping people actually feel and perform better.

What you’ll get

Expect candid conversations that tackle trending health claims head-on, interviews with other experts and researchers, and honest breakdowns of what the science actually says so you can make informed decisions for yourself, not just follow whatever’s trending this week.
