Kristin Bauer Instagram – @dr.alandesmond Why aren’t doctors talking about food? . In modern medicine we have incredible technologies. The imaging studies, blood work, and diagnostics we have at our disposal have never been better. These are incredibly important tools. I couldn’t do my job as a gastroenterologist without them. . But when food is fast becoming the leading cause of poor health, disability, and healthy years lost, a leading driver of chronic gut health problems, why are we doctors not talking about it all the time? #obesity #weightloss #healthyfood #plantbased .
