When I was nine we moved to Huntington, New York and it was there that my love of sports grew, particularly for baseball, running, cross country, track and swimming. Always feeling a great deal of empathy for people who struggled with their health I became interested in medicine and attended Boston College and Boston University Medical School.

I was recruited to UAB Diabetes Center at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, as part of The Eye Foundation Hospital, where I practiced for six years before establishing The Lodewick Diabetes Center and moving my practice to Health South. For six years I managed care for some of the greatest athletes in the world and cared for patients with diabetes.
I love Birmingham and have had my private practice in this city for the last twenty years. I currently see patients at The Narrows Health and Wellness. I have authored two books on diabetes, A Diabetic Doctor Talks About Diabetes: His And Yours, and Diabetic Man. I enjoy traveling, vigorous games of tennis (I am very competitive!), running, gardening, writing and spending time with my grandchildren. Recently I am spending less time in the office and more time sharing my knowledge of health optimization and healthy lifestyle changes with my Facebook friends all over the world. I particularly love sharing knowledge that helps people improve their health and wellness as well as provides for them an additional stream of income.".
