GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
ONLY TWO OF THE DOCTORS I'VE MET EVEN KNEW THAT FOOD IS MEDICINE. ( A DIABETIC DOCTOR AND A HAND SPECIALIST)
1.THE " MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT" HAS NO FORWARD THINKING HOLISTIC CARE. THEY KNOW NOTHING OF FOOD INTAKE AS "MEDICINE".
2. (SECOND )EACH OF US IS UNIQUE. WE HAVE TO STUDY AND LEARN WHAT WORKS FOR EACH OF US. DOCTORS GIVE BROAD GENERALITIES, UNFORTUNATELY .
3. NO ONE NEEDS AN "AUTHORITY" FIGURE TO TELL THEM HOW TO EAT AND DRINK. EACH PERSON HAS TO DETERMINE THAT , EACH DAY.

i'm so grateful that i've apparently had a different "breed" of physicians than you. None of them are "food dictators" but they have been able to point out important information about my changing needs as i age. For example, i habitually am inclined to eat insufficient protein. having really smart, attuned long term doctors has been so valuable. I don't rely on PCP's and appreciate having physicians who respect my intelligence and need to not be treated like a cog in a manufacturing process. Glad you have found what's best for you

@chanemann1 I have an osteopath/MD and he is very helpful with things other docs don’t do.we have the great 50-50 relationship which is great for a proactive patient and can help the doc as well…as it turns out, he’s also a medical school professor and students come to our sessions…everyone learns, love that !
