Have you ever had a doctor tell you to 'just exercise' as their prescription for your chronic health issue?
Yeah, you and a million others.
Doctors cite studies "proving" that "exercise is an effective treatment." But when you ask to see those studies you may find that the largest amount of improvement in symptoms may be a whopping 11%. Or that sometimes as many as 30% (or 75% in the case of long C0V1D) have worsening symptoms, or that the study has a significantly high dropout rate.
The medical industry needs to study WHY exercise makes so many people worse and offer personally tailored exercise programs and monitoring to actually help patients.
VD: The video features two characters played by Jeremy, a white, non-binary person, in a mock doctor's office. The first character is a masc-presenting arrogant doctor with white lab coat. The second speaker is a femme-presenting southern patient with brown curly hair and big glasses.
