“FND”… I bet they need to exercise, eat a balanced breakfast, sleep more and lower stress.

That’ll definitely pause the rapidly progressing dementia and loss of muscle control in patients in their 20s.

When doctors have no idea what something is and aren’t willing to keep trying diagnostics and interventions, it’s always “hey maybe get some more cardio and go easy on the peanut butter cups”.

To be fair, this is also what I hear from my GP when I have no complaints at all. It’s not bad advice, but I think it’s what most doctors tell patients they deem basically healthy. Nobody gets hurt by eating fewer peanut butter cups and taking the dog for a longer walk.

Solid MAHA advice right there. Just eat French fries fried in beef tallow, avoid all vaccines, and whatever ails you will surely go away. Medicine isn’t actually that complicated. /s
