Episode 142 - Dr. Nick Nwabueze: Combining Family Medicine with Movement & Muscle

In Episode 142, we engage Dr. Nick Nwabueze on the issue of healthcare and fitness. Dr. Nick provides us with his thoughts on the current state of healthcare and how he provides medical care to his patients. While many in the field treat symptoms in a reactive manner, Dr. Nick is adamant that a large proportion of these medical issues could be resolved with appropriate preventative measures related to diet and exercise. However, many doctors are not equipped to recommend nutrition and fitness protocols to their patients to avoid negative health outcomes. Dr. Nick has taken the necessary steps to ensure that all of his patients have the best combination of dietary, exercise and wellness prescriptions, combined with his medical expertise to set themselves up with best chance at healthy outcomes.

Dr. Nick Nwabueze is a board-certified Family Medicine physician. He completed medical school at the Ohio State University College of Medicine and finished his internship and residency at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital in Illinois. Dr. Nwabueze is passionate about learning more about how diet and movement affects overall health. He recently started his nutrition coach certification through Precision Nutrition. He also has personal experience with several dietary guidelines including eating paleo, keto, intermittent fasting (16/8, 20/4, and 23/1 fasting/eating windows), and Whole30. Dr. Nick has been a part of the CrossFit community since 2011 and holds a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate which he uses to coach classes in his spare time.
