I want my neurosurgeon or my oncologist or my gastroenterologist to know enough that they should consult with dieticians/nutritionists. They are part of the entire concept of health. I don’t want them making these decisions after taking a couple of classes in med school. Yeah, I know 40 hours is not a couple of classes.

Team healthcare is critically important. Taking dieticians/nutritionists onto a team should be required from here on out. They should be treated as specialists in their field including having to take PDH/CEUs. This also includes government oversight of the supplements industry.
