Symptoms and Self Deception.
One of the most common questions I get asked is why I tell people to ignore medical issues. While this is not quite my message, it is certainly a good question.
As a Public Health Nutritionist my focus is on avoiding issues. One of the frustrating issues in my professional practice has been peoples fascination with the outcomes of low quality diets, activity, hydration or sleep.
These outcomes include, obesity, overweight, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, fatigue, depression, artheriosclerosis, stroke and cardiovascular disease.В
Now, while I absolutely encourage people with any of these conditions to see a medical professional, and Australia has some of the best in the world. My contention is that all of these conditions are symptoms of an underlying cause. And it is the causal issue that we need to address.
So here is my rule of thumb. See a medical professional to deal with those symptoms but do not get fascinated by them.
Redesign your life, have fun and focus on what works.
