It has been my experience that doctors are NOT well educated on the specifics of nutrition. Medical school doesn’t teach you about diet.
If you want the best advise, I would recommend seeing a nutritional specialist. They will be your best bet. Guaranteed.
Express your concerns/goals to a dietician and they can help you answer questions that you may have never thought of.
