Just that everyone's heard it, so the doctor isn't going to repeat it to you with every visit.
I think a doctor absolutely should gently remind people that those things improve a variety of conditions, and occasionally push a little harder in certain situations (you need to start doing X now or your condition is going to be a big problem). Many of them already do, of course.
Sure, a doctor isn't necessarily going to give generic health advice on every visit. That wasn't what I was saying.
What I was saying is that if I go see a doctor for a condition, and the proper way to resolve that condition is to make a lifestyle change, then that is what I want the doctor to tell me.
What I don't want the doctor to do is to just give me a prescription if the actual treatment is to behave differently in some way.
But difficult to treat chronic conditions aren’t that straightforward, and virtually all of them respond to general good health as outlined on that list.
Everything else is either a straightforward treatment, is untreatable, or has a lifestyle change that the doctor will tell you about (like with IBS and a low FODMAP diet for instance).
And I actually do all of that. Not because anyone told me to, or because I should, but because that's just how my life ended up being arranged.
Not sure how that's related to my point, though.
