We discussed this video as a team at Remedy. We can't say it any better. Thank you, Dr. Jessica Knurick.
What actually works is building a team. Not a doctor who can check a nutrition box, but a care structure where registered dietitians and qualified nutrition professionals are embedded in care: seeing patients, billing for that work, and practicing at the full scope of their training. They have significantly more specialized preparation for this than any physician could gain from supplementary courses. And as Dr. Knurick points out, they can deliver that care more affordably than an overburdened physician taking on additional responsibilities.
The reason this doesn't happen more consistently isn't lack of good intentions. It's reimbursement. It's incentive structures that reward procedures and prescriptions, not the kind of work that prevents those procedures from being necessary in the first place. Systemic policy changes are needed. Dr. Knurick is right about that.
