So she's practicing without a license?

Perhaps your own personal doctor can't offer you good information. But that doesn't mean the medical profession is devoid of proper information.

There are always exceptions. For example, I went to a lecture by a man who had multiple degrees. (M.D., nutrition etc.) But exceptions don't make the rule.

I consider having a low BMI and leading a drug-free life to be a gift from God.

What about those who have a high BMI and take lots of drugs, did God do them wrong?

I would never criticize anyone who takes drugs. I totally support people who take drugs to improve their life or rectify medical problems.

I would never say never. Of course I would never do it to be mean or embarrass someone but I might state circumstances where people could get off drugs by following a healthy diet. So I don't support the use of drugs in all situations.
P.S. My doctor said he studied nutrition in college but didn't say whether or not he had a degree in nutrition. But even if he does have a degree, it could be 1) as much as 25 years old and somewhat outdated 2) unused knowledge gets forgotten anyway and 3) why would he want to open up a conversation about nutrition when he's already pressed for time and won't get paid for the extra effort? It doesn't make much sense.
