Fatty Liver Expert: Your Liver Is Filling With Fat Right Now - Dr David Unwin

What was said

"I fundamentally believed that drugs is what I should be using, medication, and that lifestyle was a sort of add-on. Isn't that terrible? I didn't think that the biscuits made that much difference."

Dr. Unwin revealed that despite being a senior GP for 25 years, he didn't believe lifestyle interventions were central to patient health, viewing medication as primary treatment. This admission exposes a widespread medical culture that prioritizes pharmaceutical intervention over dietary and lifestyle changes, even as patient health deteriorated under his care.
