I am a primary care provider and I came to this podcast expecting to be irritated the entire time. I can't count the amount of times I've heard people say something like "the healthcare system is failing America." I'm so sick of hearing that. Dr. Atria nails it on the head. What people are dieing from they've been running at for 30 years then they show up in the clinic and expect me to wave a wand a fix for them. I can't exercise for you. I can't lose weight for you. Everyone knows this is what you're supposed to do but no one is willing to do it. There's a pathologic aversion to taking responsibility for one's own health. No amount of medical insurance will change that people don't want to do the work.
As an aside to hear a prominent specialist endorse CICO made me legitimately yell out loud in agreement. How some people think they've defeated the first law of thermodynamics in their own body will never cease to amaze me. I have never once had a patient do an honest accounting of food with a food scale and not realize they weren't eating at a deficit.
