It's not at face value if you keep substituting the word "advocate" for doctor.

Nothing more, nothing less. Not everyone pursues their health issues vigorously. Should people in general do all they can to better their health, and the answer is yes!!!
If not everyone is doing it why did he include everyone?

It is a combination of both. No one knows their body better then they do, but one has to allow the knowledge of a trained doctor for input and solutions.
I agree, it's a combination of both. But that was not included in his opening statement. That leaves it open to people learning by reading books written by medical doctors, nutritionists etc.

It's funny how people sense, when they are about to expire. My old doctor told me that my mother was going to live a long time and she was 93.

She didn't agree and passed the next day. In this case, she knew better.
