this is totally the truth. No question. When you grocery shop buy the most minimal number of ingredients, ideally ONE on the label. Never felt better since I started doing this. Pay attention to macros

oh wow. Tucker invited a couple people on his show who have innate intelligence and guess what, not long into the video they go full steam anti-vaxx. I’m shocked. Truly shocked I tell you. Did you all hear - that lady went to STANFORD!!

Had to cut it off when they started anti-vaxx. I’m so sick of that crap. If there’s anything else worth listening to pls give me the cliff notes version.

Nutrition! I’m on board, agree.
Eat better with simple ingredients! Yep, got it. Agree.
Oh and by the way NEVER GET VACCINATED!!! It’s all big pharma trying to profit off of you and kill you!! Uhhh….errmmm….ok gotta go bye.

Also I don’t care if she went to Stanford. You’re just not very astute if it takes you that long to understand that by doing some sinus surgery, or taking out a diseased gallbladder, you aren’t curing HTN, DM, or obesity.

Do I wish the health system weren’t so ‘for profit’? Do I wish it was preventative and physicians were more integrated? Yeah absolutely. But I don’t need to quit being an anesthesiologist to have that light shown upon me.

Healthcare is complicated. In the USA.
 
Surgery residency dropout who wanted to "focus" on functional medicine instead. Never finished residency and never actually worked in our system, but now is an expert on the healthcare system after she saw how "broken" it was as a surgery resident. :rolleyes:

I have a physician family member that has leaned into this viewpoint of "medicine" recently. Everything is about foods, supplements, vitamins, etc. Medications are evil. Vaccines are evil. Real doctors are evils. They have gone off the deep end. Read way too much dark internet stuff/propaganda.

If Tucker Carlson isn't a pedophile, why hasn't anyone come forward on his show to refute those claims? Why hasn't anyone provided us with evidence that he is not a pedophile?

Why hasn't Tucker come out and publicly denied being a pedophile? If he were innocent I think he would have done so by now.

I'm just asking questions here!

We're the only animal that has peer reviewed nutrition studies and the only animal that has diabetes and hypertension... Give me a bloody break. Who are these fruit cakes?

This is surely the worst
