Short YouTube conversation (Joy Kong, MD) arguing that most doctors lack nutrition education and often are not personally healthy. Speaker B reports attending UCLA medical school (four-year program) and receiving only "maybe half an hour" of nutrition education, highlighting a perceived gap in training about nutrition, supplements, and optimizing body function.
Never hire a fat personal trainer. Never hire a broke financial advisor. Right? And similarly, I want my doctors to be healthy. And we're looking at you, and I'm like, man, this woman is healthy. Like, we look at you, your skin's good, you look healthy, you look fit. But most doctors are not that. Why is that?
Because they did not have the tools. I went to ucla. I was telling you. I was living in Culver City. We probably had about half an hour of education on nutrition. And of course, we knew nothing about supplements. We don't know anything about how to make sure our body is functioning optimally.
Wait, wait, wait. How long did you go to medical school for?
It was four years.
Four years of medical school and you had how much nutritional information?
Maybe half an hour.
Half an hour and four years.
