A short spoken segment by Aaron Hartman, MD (YouTube video titled "Dr") arguing that nutritional plans must be individualized using biomarkers, history, exam, and activity assessment, and that some common-sense interventions (e.g., parachutes, stopping smoking) lack randomized, blinded trial evidence — the speaker cites a BMJ article to make this point about evidence standards.

There is no such thing as I'm going to memorize one diet, that's it for everybody, and I'm done. That is absurd. You know that. So you do have to individualize a nutritional plan based on not only whatever lipids, you get other biomarkers, you get other historical things, physical examination, you're assessing their activity and their muscles, blah, blah, blah. And you're going to come up, perhaps with solutions with all of them. You're certainly going to stop smoking. Despite no randomized, blinded trial space medicine. There's no like, what's your evidence? Like, yeah. Common sense for parachutes. No evidence, but most of them. Did you read that? Did you read that BMJ article about that? Yeah, that's a great line.
