Why Drugs Can’t Fix a Dietary Disease (But Lifestyle Can)

The Truth About Weight Gain, Insulin, and Real Healing

Weight gain isn’t just about “calories in versus calories out.” If that were true, the solution would be simple: eat less, move more. But the real story is deeper.

Consider this:

  • People with type 2 diabetes are often prescribed insulin injections—and they gain weight. Why?
  • People with type 1 diabetes struggle to gain weight. Why?

Because insulin is your body’s fat storage hormone.

Here’s the inconvenient truth: you cannot medicate your way out of a dietary disease. Yet most doctors don’t ask about diet and lifestyle. Why? Because prevention doesn’t pay.

Dr. Andrew Weil highlights a shocking reality:

  • For every health consultation, a doctor may lose $75.
  • But for every diabetic limb amputation, the system earns $6,000.

Now imagine the billions lost if people healed themselves through food and lifestyle changes instead of relying on prescriptions. That’s money not going to pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and pharmacies.

But here’s the good news: you have a choice.

  • Drugs mask symptoms.
  • Lifestyle changes heal the root cause.

Over time, the results of healthy habits compound—your energy, your mood, your resilience, your freedom from disease all grow stronger.

Imagine the world we could create if we stopped pouring money into unnecessary drugs and doctor visits—and instead invested in our own health and vitality.

✨ What a world that would be.
