CrossFit Journal Article of the Week: Physician: “He’s basically cured his diabetes” by ANDRÉA MARIA CECIL
“Pete was in a common situation for many patients in that his weight was not ideal. And early on he did not have significant health problems from that,” said Dr. J. Harry Isaacson, Katz’s physician of roughly 15 years. Isaacson is also assistant dean for clinical education at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine in Ohio.
“Many people end up crossing a threshold … where they start to accumulate different health problems from their weight.” For Katz, that threshold was a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis at the age of 41. “That’s a whole different ball game,” Isaacson said. To treat the disease, the doctor prescribed oral medication.
After three years, it wasn’t enough. So Isaacson prescribed an inject - able drug. This was in addition to Katz’s treatments for anxiety and high blood pressure. Injecting himself with medicine and constantly monitoring his insulin put enough fear into Katz that he finally heeded the advice Isaacson had long been giving him: Change your diet and start exercising.
Before then, Katz had tried multiple diets and exercise programs over the years; nothing stuck. This time, he started following the Paleo Diet. About a month later—in November 2012—he had his first class at CrossFit Painesville in Ohio. Six months after that, Katz was able to discontinue all of his medications. “He’s basically cured his diabetes with his attention to lifestyle,” Isaacson said. He added: “For someone to go off medications and control it, it’s quite uncommon, actually.” The doctor called Katz’s ability to affect his own health “remark - able.”
