1. People are incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY stupid. Stupid meaning uneducated, and stupid meaning indoctrinated by most education systems to simply do as they're told, and to truct experts without asking questions.
2. As a result of said indoctrination, people are also incredibly lazy, and do not know how to collect and source information, nor are they armed with critical thinking skills to disseminate and assign values to any information they happen to trip over.
3. Doctors(in the US) are taught 50 year old medicinal knowledge and practices throughout medical school, go through relatively little CEU reqs, and are bought and paid for by Pharma companies that need people fat, sick, and on as many prescriptions as possible.
The vast majority of my nutritional, training, medical, and pharmacological knowledge(beyond the very basic basics) came from reading studies critically, consuming YT content, often from people who were not medical professionals, and from my own trial and error on my own body.
Peptide companies, drug dealers, etc. are all equally motivated to misinform you in favor of their products as doctors, the government, and Pharma reps are. These kinds of hobbies are not for the average person who spends a great deal of time on apps like TikTok.
But what do I know, Im not a doctor 😀
