Does anyone here have the name of a good and solid nutritionist, or doctor, that is highly trained and knowledgeable in the area of nutrition and first attempts to treat chronic issues such as inflammation with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, rather than being quick to prescribe meds to treat the issue?

Thanks in advance for any useful posts on this issue.

Doctors prescribe medications because they work. Talking to patients about nutrition and lifestyle doesn't work. If a patient wants to learn about nutrition, they can read a book.
