In ten years, my doctor has never had a single idea that I didn't research and suggest for anything. Maybe I am an exception here but I am definitely more intelligent than my doctor, they just had the money for medical school while I had to go to the military to get education money.

I think what people need to realize is that you (the individual) are more motivated to be healthy than your doctor is. Your doctor has a career and a heavy salary to protect. He's not going to go against protocols. Even if those protocols might not be healthy for you. You don't have to have a higher IQ than your doctor to do extra research on something and be more informed then he is on a particular aspect of health. Nutrition is the prime example of this. Most doctors give nutrition advice that was popular whatever year they graduated from med school. Nutrition science has been changing rapidly even in the last 5 years.

Got any examples? I casually follow nutrition trends but it's taken a back seat to other interests recently so I'm curious about what I might have missed.

Gut biome, mitochondria uncoupling, seedoil dangers, test boosters, estrogenic foods, leaky gut, fasting is better understood (autophagey), poop transplants, torpor related to fructose/uric acid, carnivore, bone broth, organ meats, sun exposure, dopamine, saturated fats as super food, fermented foods, pro salt movement, pure stearic acid, berberine, IF, low protein keto, deenz, iodine. That's off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a few I'm leaving out.
