Finding the right doctor and building a relationship with them is also very important. Mine has been taking care of everyone in my family for a few decades now, starting with my maternal grandparents. He doesn’t push “solutions” on us for problems that don’t exist. When I told him I was trying out carnivore last year, he was 100% ok with it since all my markers were perfectly normal. If something is ever off, he works with us to find something that will work for us individually, instead of prescribing a one-size fits all solution to everyone.

Unfortunately most doctors today don’t care to spend the time working with individuals like that. They find a problem, prescribe a quick fix usually in pill form, and send you on your merry way hoping it works for you, with little input on what the patient actually wants or doesn’t want.
