First, you need to write like a professional and communicate clearly.

Secondly, the medical profession has started to come up to speed and is doing more preventive work. The biggest problem is the lack of scientific research, even in nutrition, that they are required to work with.

Perhaps becoming a nutritionist and working in a doctor’s office would be an option.

A recent NPR show had doctors discussing obesity therapies (diet and exercise) but that their training, insurance and time allottments do not allow patients to receive coverage and discussion about obesity remedies in the office. It takes more than telling a patient to “lose weight””. They need specifics.
