Imagine this: you go to your doctor, and they give you ten minutes. You say, “Hey, Doc, I got a problem. How do I fix it?”
The doctor writes you a prescription, you take it to the pharmacy, and then you take that pill for life—until you die.
This is what most people experience when they see a doctor.
But RFK Jr. is changing that with a bold new vision to improve the doctor-patient relationship for good.
He announced that he’s leading a team at HHS to overhaul the medical education system and finally put a focus on what’s been ignored for too long—nutrition training.
“The leading cause of death in the United States is poor diet,” claiming 1 million American lives every year.
You’d think training doctors to help patients improve their habits would be a top priority. Sadly, it’s near the bottom.
In today’s corrupt system, “most medical students receive less than 20 hours of nutrition education over four years of medical school.”
That lack of focus, Kennedy says, is woefully inadequate—and he plans to fix it.
“We pour more than $4 trillion annually into treating these preventable diseases. And we continue to graduate physicians unprepared to confront their root cause,” Kennedy lamented.
“The good news,” he says, is that “diet not only causes these conditions, it can also PREVENT and REVERSE them.”
“We can reverse the chronic disease epidemic simply by changing our diets and lifestyles,” Kennedy declared.
Kennedy said in order to fix the problem, “We need nutrition to be a basic part of EVERY doctor’s training.”
So he’s proposing a move that directly threatens the “pill for every ill” approach to medicine that has devastated the health of Americans for decades.
Kennedy announced, “We’ll start by embedding nutrition directly into college pre-med programs and testing it on the MCAT.”
“Every future physician should master the language of prevention before they even touch a stethoscope,” he stressed.
Kennedy says that under President Trump’s leadership, this move will “systematically transform nutrition education throughout American medicine for more than 200 of America’s medical schools, 13,000 residency and fellowship programs, and ultimately each of the nation’s 1.1 million practicing physicians.”
“In the future, doctors won’t just prescribe drugs, they’ll be able to PRESCRIBE DIETS as well,” Kennedy explained.
“By confidently screening for diet-related diseases and collaborating with nutrition experts to recommend food-based solutions, our reforms will save our country hundreds of billions of dollars and prevent millions of debilitating chronic diseases.”
“This is an approach that is both radical and common sense,” Kennedy continued.
“We’re going to reconnect medicine with its roots. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said, ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.’ His advice remains true today.”
This is Big Pharma and Big Medicine’s worst nightmare. Healthy Americans mean less sickness to profit from.
And when doctors start prescribing diets that work instead of a pill for every ill, Big Pharma’s gravy train—and its influence on politics—starts going down in flames.
This is a huge move that anyone who cares about humanity can applaud and celebrate.
