In my experience doctors are more interested in treating symptoms then getting to the actual cause of the ailment. They are often quick to write prescriptions for pain, blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol. Now I realize that there are many cases in which a person does need to be put on pharmaceutical care but do the doctors ever talk to the patient about lifestyle modifications? Do they ever give real world advice on how to incorporate healthy nutrition and exercise into one's daily life? I wonder what it would be like if doctors always referred clients to registered dieticians and personal trainers. What if this was common protocol? What if medicine always worked cooperatively alongside lifestyle modifications to give the patient a better outcome.
