When I was doing primary care, I actually enjoyed talking to patients about nutrition. I can expound on the topic for hours at the drop of a hat. I went to Med school at Tulane (where Dr. Harlan is). But even in the closed system of active duty military, it's hard to believe the time paid off because I rarely saw the patients again. They'd schedule follow up and no show. My clinic schedule would change. They'd deploy. I'd deploy.

Do I eat better? Yes. My family? Probably. Anyone else? Long term? Studies say maybe, but I just don't know.
