There are low hanging fruit. Dropping weight, removing processed foods, exercise are your bare minimum of what everyone should try for solving Medical problems.

Now a lot of problems can be solved this way. Just not everything.

I suffered exercise intolerance for decades. No mater how hard I tried I would need two weeks of recovery after any work out. Turned out I had underlying problems that none of the what I mentioned above were going to fix.

However I still feel strongly that if I’m going to complain to a doctor, I should be doing my part with diet and exercise.
