“Just listened to the show with Dr. Sara Gottfried and am a bit disappointed. First, the early part of the conversation touches on body size/weight being an inaccurate measure of health. Then the conversation focuses on the ketogenic diet and how it resulted in weight gain for the guest, at which point weight gain is framed in negative way. Then the conversation fluctuates back to the original argument of weight not being an accurate measure for health. I found it really confusing and contradictory.
Plus, there seems to be a lack of transparency in researchers that are fully bought in to functional medicine, and the fact that it is very much in its infancy. Although functional medicine is exciting and likely the future of medicine, the accuracy and validity of its tools - I.e. genetic tests for individualized health approaches - are still unrefined and lack robust testing and falsification. Functional medicine practitioners often criticize conventional practitioners for subscribing to health and medical practices that lack robust scientific support, however, I find the former falls into the same trap. We deserve better, and it starts with more transparency and honesty from all medical practitioners and researchers.
Honestly, transparency, along with continuous questioning of biases and validity of research is at the heart of good science.
Not to mention, the privilege of being able to access and afford the tests that functional medicine practitioners recommend is commonly left out of the conversation. Most people cannot afford to pay for the oura ring, or for blood panel and stool tests not covered by insurance, or to have their blood glucose monitored on a regular basis, save for folks with medical conditions that require it.”
