#because diets don't work AND losing weight probably won't help the health problem anyway

I feel like all fiddly-ass lifestyle adjustment type treatment regimens that are basically impossible to execute perfectly, and which a healthcare professional can therefore use to be like "Well, maybe if you were better at this, you wouldn't need other treatments, so you don't get other treatments until you can do it perfectly" should pretty much be presumed bullshit as like, actual treatment options for people having "go to a doctor about it" level problems. At best, if there's a pharmacotherapy available, it should be like "Let's start the medication and then try this lifestyle stuff which, if it's both effective and sustainable for you, might mean you don't need the medication indefinitely", rather than "spend months or years trying to implement extensive lifestyle modifications before you can try medication".
