Doctors are people but I think a lot of them will overstep their specialty and spout off a lot of BS. If I go to the doctor right now they're going to say that I'm 20 lbs overweight and that is going to come from a doctor that's truly 50-plus pounds overweight. I'm below 8% body fat so how can I be 20 lb overweight they're still using the old BMI to determine healthy weight on people which is archaic.
Both my wife and I are on hormone replacement and we'll have been for many years until we figured out what was going on with her she spoke to lots of doctors and they all give her wonderful advice such as one told her if she would just set it aside one day a week to have sex with her husband that she would not have any more issues. What kind of stupid advice is that??? When your hormones are off the last thing a woman wants to do is going to have sex and feel like she's doing it because she has to how is that going to fix anything? Some doctors talk out of their asses and the sad part is so many people think that they know it all and they don't question.
Doctors are very educated in textbook health and overtime they do learn real life situations but not every two situations are the same and if you look at what they call what's your doctor does it's called practicing medicine so they are guessing that's the best results that they can come up with to give you some sort of result in the shortest amount of time. That's what we all want so if you say I want to lose weight and your doctor says oh you need to eat less food sure more than likely you're going to lose weight but you're not fixing a problem if it happens to be a metabolic issue or whatever. Complete blood work is important and a nice to be read by someone that is truly knowledgeable more than just looking at or everything's in the normal range because on thyroid t3 and t4 from things I've seen over the years are completely misdiagnosed because as long as they're both in the normal range most doctors will tell you there isn't an issue and that is incorrect. There are certain levels both t3 and t4 should be at and not just a normal range they need to be in the same range. Doctors over-prescribe and under prescribe way too much to "fix us" and for people like us on the board we know our bodies much better than them and we question. But most of the population is going to do exactly what the doctor tells them even if it's the worst advice ever. l tell people to always do your own research after you speak to your doctor and make sure you feel it's the right thing for you.
