The root cause is unhappiness and stress - the reasons people go to “comfort food”. Everyone seems to be ignoring that basic reality. Emotional and mental health is the core problem - the lack of support and care and fairness and community.

This is so true. 25 years ago I had a gynaecologist who was also en endocrinologist. In those days insulin resistance was virtually unknown. He tested me with an insulin test and told me that my insulin resistance was very high. In the next 25 years I have all the downstream effects and not one doctor has ever mentioned insulin resistance to me.

We tend to follow the easiest path, but what feels good in the moment often drags us down. Alcohol, phones, fast food, and sugar can reprogram the brain, making us believe we need them while draining our natural joy. Over time, this pulls us away from spirituality, community, and healthier habits, leaving us stuck in a cycle of negativity and false comfort.

If you want to have a healthy long life, firstly quit alcohol and extremely lower the intake of sugar. Start doing a physical exercise, eat healthy, nothing processed and drink plenty of water.

Dermatologists are the worst. Every one I have ever gone to has zero interest in getting to the root cause of the problem.

A person dying from alcoholism may disagree, the seizures can be pretty dangerous can't they and the treatment for alcohol poisoning was unsurvivable
