So you have to keep in mind, here I am, it's 2025, and I was in medical school from 2002 until 2006. In 2003, I had two weeks of nutrition education. And that was not how do I talk to a patient about what they should eat in order to improve diabetes or to improve their blood pressure, whatever it may be, or to lose weight.

That two weeks of nutrition education was what happens if a person is deficient in vitamin B6? Well, how often do we diagnose that? How relevant is that to having a real practical conversation with your patient? So this is the issue is that doctors are not provided any sort of formal training on how to talk to their patients.

And then simultaneously, the other issue that's happening, Nick, in the healthcare system is that doctors don't have control over their time. Basically, the insurance company dictates the compensation to the doctor, which dictates the amount of time that a doctor has with their patient.

Because in order to make ends meet, when the cost of renting your office space is going up, and the cost of employing people is going up, and the cost of the medical devices and equipment that you buy is going up, doctors are basically forced into more patients in less time. This is what's happened over the last 30 years. And so here we are. And there's no time to actually talk about nutrition.

You just write a prescription. You walk out the door. It's really sad.

Doctors are trained, dieticians are trained, but they're not trained together. They're not talking to each other. I know zero registered dieticians from my medical education. I never met any. That's wild. Yeah, I never met any. So we're in our space, they're in their space. And then the problem is that there's not this integration. There's not communication between the parties.

And if truly, if our healthcare system cared about nutrition, they would allow people to use their health insurance, the money that they're spending, which obviously is a ton of money on health insurance. You would be allowed to take those funds and apply it into seeing a dietician and you're not.
