Dr. Robert Whitfield argues that healing requires more than a gym or clinic visit. He recommends a minimum one-week program focused on nutrition and self-care habits. A surgeon agrees: when the body gets proper nutrients and support, surgical wounds heal properly and infections are avoided.

you just don't have all these things. This is not what you go find at your local wellness clinic or gym. So I try to get everybody to understand, like, the minimum entry point in our ecosystem is about a week, not because we're trying to, uh, make you captive. We're trying to get you to care about and take care of yourself and recover and embrace, like, self-care. Those are things that are super important for healing.
Well, exactly, because what we know as physicians, especially surgeons, is that when the body has everything that it needs, it will heal itself. It's when it doesn't have the nutrition that it needs that that skin incision is not going to heal well. It's when the body doesn't have the support that it needs that that mesh is going to fall apart or the infection is going to settle in. So our job then is to give our body everything that it needs so it can do the healing process. And that's exactly what you've created.
