This is generally approach that’s actually backed by various doctors (usually not just one ingredient though, and for about 4 weeks)

The truth is, the science is pretty clear in that we need our bodies to juggle back and forth between fasting/repair and nourishment/growth phases. I think the ultimate way forward will end up being a retreat to eating habits of less civilized days… less about what you eat and more about how you eat.
In which case would a western medicine practicing doctor suggest that? You go to a doctor when you’re sick, rebuilding ones gut health… always soup.. nothing else.. from there you build.
For 4 weeks thats like training the gut brain to return to the “sickness” every time when the ingredient is eaten. Wouldn’t follow my logic from a few yrs ago. Every longer standing and healthier healing approaches like TCM Ayurveda etc will tell you differently. Unless I missed something big in that area…
I was in a physician-led program. Led to better sleep, energy during the day, and some weight loss.
Thats awesome that you got so many positive things out the program . I went the route of diet change, sports and TCM and any sort of holistic things I was able to find at the time. To me most physicians are nuts if they normalise it for themselves that cutting into humans is something that isn’t totally insane. But I also see that theres a new wave that have the possibility to see beyond. Just not enough yet. 🤷🏻♀️
