On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast, they don't have meaningful, you know, recommendations to make behind that because they know that the recommendations that we have been making for 40 years, you know, eat less, move more, eat a low-fat diet, are not working. They do not work. And, you know, I saw it personally and many other physicians see the same thing in themselves

and in their patients, but they just don't know what else to do because that is the only

message they've ever heard.

Hello, welcome back.

You are listening to The Real Foodology podcast, and I am your host, Courtney Swan.

I'm an integrative nutritionist with my Masters of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health,

and I started my journey of health around 15 years ago when I really started waking up to

just the corruption in our food system and our health care system, which I refer to as sick care system.

Because unfortunately, as a population, we are very unhealthy and many people are turning to

hospitals and their doctors for chronic disease management.

And doctors were not trained for that. And this is not at all to

vilify doctors. We need them. So of course, like if you're in a car accident or God forbid

you break your leg or if you need heart surgery, of course, that is what our doctors are here

for. But we need to start seeing them in that role and then recognizing that for everything

else with our chronic diseases that we are seeing so prevalent now in the U.S., we need to be

turning to registered dietitians, nutritionists, and people that are trained on how to advise you and guide you into a healthier lifestyle

and a healthier diet.

Now, look, of course, there are absolutely doctors that you can see for diet and lifestyle advice,

but you need to make sure that you are seeing a doctor that has actually been trained

in that area.

Doctors that I recommend that do focus on food and lifestyle are functional medicine doctors

and integrative doctors.
