Although I grew up surrounded by doctors coming over to dinner
Uncle Jack Old Fashioned I’ll Tell You What to Do
we have good doctor friends too I never thought much about medicine
body parts either even my own except for how they looked wearing this or that
no body part was ever perfect but most of my life I didn’t consider them much
diet either I love ice cream also sugar in all forms coffee various drinks
many have been carbonated many contained Vodka in particular Grey Goose
my doctor friends retired now and I am reading a little about medicine very little
a long blog about functional medicine putting fun back into medicine
was there fun before even listed to a medicine podcast
the only one I will ever hear not that it didn’t make sense it did but the enthusiastic
proponent from the illustrious Cleveland Clinic explained how so much of what I love
to eat would be taboo he was not talking to me but to all of us I took him personally
no coffee no alcohol no ice cream no sugar never any sugar he even suggested
we all make salmon burgers at night, don’t eat them then, have them for breakfast
because breakfast is where they belong. Now I think more about what my body
is. And what my life is and what are body parts and what is medicine
except a way to help you live better, like coffee and ice cream and the cookies
my friend Gwynne brought over to eat last night.
