      Indeed. "Integrative medicine" integrates quackery with medicine and rebrands lifestyle medicine (e.g., diet, exercise, adequate rest, etc.) as somehow being "alternative" and part of its bailiwick in order to give the appearance of scientific backing to the whole specialty.

      I have no idea where this idea that doctors don’t discuss sleep, diet and exercise etc comes from. I suspect it is propaganda from so called integrative medicine (not a real field)

      I think in part it’s because a) doctors so rarely bring these topics up with their patients b) there are few formal avenues for preventative care in the mainstream medical system (1)

      c)doctors generally don’t treat your “subclinical” problems. Often times a mild case of X needs to become severe before you are taken seriously. And in the interim, depending on your diagnosis, doctors can gaslight the hell out of you.

      d) there is a large number of people who have completely exited the medical system because it either could not help them or drove them away through interactions that caused them harm.

      e) integrative docs can be years ahead when it comes to adopting non-prescription interventions. Eg, they were testing people for Vitamin D deficiency many many years before most MDs were paying any attention to it or how it disproportionately affects certain ethnic groups.

      f) And a lot of times when MDs try to advise on these topics, they are often many years behind best practice. After all, this is not usually their area of expertise. The pushing of low fat and ultimately high sugar diets for years is one example.

      And returning to the idea that a lot of patients have exited the traditional medical system, a lot of my chronically ill friends have wondered how much the rise of Goop and the wellness industry is a function of women who have actual, undiagnosed medical problems...

      What medical problems does Goop diagnose or treat? Cause Gwyneth has gone on record saying that Goop is in no way offering medical advice (specifically to avoid being prosecuted for causing harms).

      Yup. It’s a disclaimer that @palmd dubbed the “quack Miranda warning.”https://whitecoatunderground.wordpress.com/quack-miranda-warning-2/ …
