why doctors aren’t trained in nutrition— and why it matters

Good morning,

Did you know the average physician receives less than 20 minutes of nutritional training in medical school?

This lack of education in one of the most fundamental aspects of health leaves many doctors ill-equipped to guide their patients on preventing and managing chronic illnesses through diet.

the problem with traditional medical training

Medical school focuses heavily on disease treatment with medication, rather than prevention through diet and lifestyle changes.

While pharmaceuticals can provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause of chronic conditions.

the undeniable link between diet and health

Research consistently shows that diets rich in unprocessed foods—like regenerative meats, pastured eggs, organic vegetables, and organic fruits—can dramatically improve and even reverse conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.

why doctors rarely talk about nutrition

• Many believe patients won’t stick to dietary changes, so they don’t even start the conversation.

• The pharmaceutical model provides fast symptom relief, reinforcing the idea that pills are the best solution.

• Medical education does not emphasize nutrition as a primary tool for disease prevention.
