To help nourish my tired body, I don\u2019t know whether I should reach for the eggs to make an omelette or the milk to add to cereal. Although the dog needs to be walked, perhaps a high intensity training session in the gym would be better for my heart. At 3pm, my week of poor sleep catches up with me. Should I take a nap, have an early night, or just stick to my normal sleep pattern to ensure maximum recovery? Although I have been caring for the sickest patients in the hospital all week, I don\u2019t know how to best promote my own health. It seems that as doctors we are experts at malfunction, but distinctly novice at promoting function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The truth is, when my friends ask for advice on diet, sleep, exercise, mental health, or wellbeing, my title of \u201cDr\u201d adds little of help. Of course, the correct answers to their questions are also very uncertain even for experts. Low fat vs high fat vs high protein vs low carb diet is an argument set to rage for decades. High intensity training vs the slow plod for cardiovascular health is equally as confusing. However, I am not even well appraised of the arguments behind these uncertainties, let alone the conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a recent trip away with friends, it was quickly apparent that they knew far more than I do about these essential elements of health. One friend who is a martial artist spoke beautifully about how to best promote muscle strength. Another explained the beneficial effects of sleep hygiene. Another how making simple changes to his diet had promoted weight loss. I could only offer solutions for malfunctions which thankfully none of them had. However, health is not the opposite of disease. Many people are free of disease, but very unhealthy in both physical and psychological terms. The promotion of health to help reduce disease inequality and as a preventative measure therefore needs to be borne through a different route than me\u2014a doctor of disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How should discovery and dissemination of health be best achieved? Perhaps we should admit to ourselves that as \u201cdisease professionals\u201d health is not our bag. Deferring this knowledge acquisition, argument, and dissemination to other experts already occurs. My <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticwaycrossfit.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CrossFit<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prosser_laura?lang=en-gb\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">instructor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> knows far more than I ever could about injury prevention, muscle strength, and cardiovascular health. Matt Walker\u2019s best selling book \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2CikUVZ\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why we sleep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d blows the average doctor\u2019s insight into the importance of rest out of the water. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jamie%27s_School_Dinners\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jamie Oliver<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> understands better than most the impact that diet can have on childhood obesity. Perhaps this should be accepted, embraced, and promoted by health services to ensure better preventative \u201cmedicine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, reliance on unregulated others also carriers risks. The lack of regulation in the health industry gives much space to pseudoscience and personality based advice. I haven\u2019t seen many well conducted, double blind, randomised control trials on the use of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/uk.businessinsider.com\/what-is-a-vaginal-egg-goop-lawsuit-2018-9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vaginal eggs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to promote \u201cenergy\u201d for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An alternative to this export is to develop a new breed of doctor who can concentrate on function rather than malfunction. A fusion of exercise physiology, occupational medicine, mental health, sleep medicine and nutrition. They would not treat disease, but promote health. This could be delivered not in hospitals or GP surgeries, but in coffee shops, gyms, spas, and places of work. While they still may not be able to disentangle the answers to low vs high carbs, they would at least be trained in the methods to try to do so. Concentrating on this function may reduce the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">burden on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">doctors like me who can only treat malfunctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Matt Morgan<\/strong>, Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Cardiff University, Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine and Head of Research and Development at University Hospital of Wales, and an editor of BMJ OnExamination.
