Why are Americans obsessed with diet culture? What’s the deal with vitamins and supplements? Why are wellness coaches so popular? Because people can’t afford to see a real doctor and this is what makes people sleep better at night!

Almost 40% of Americans have some form of medical debt, more than half live paycheck to paycheck, and 10% don’t even have health insurance

most americans have one visit per year, but every page i visit that talks about *regularly* seeing a doctor suggests this is not the case at all. what's your source for this claim?

Funny because ‘people have been obsessed with their health’ and ‘just go to the doctor’ is literally what he said.

He’s saying to stop going the doctor for every minor thing, the exact opposite of what you think he is.
