“Doctors treat symptoms. We treat the root cause.”
This line is usually said by people who have never opened a physiology textbook.
Hormones. Feedback loops. Receptors. Axes. Metabolism. Evidence.
But on social media, root cause means:
• 10 kg weight loss → Hormone Coach
• Canva certificate → Endocrine Expert
• Saying “insulin resistance” loudly → Metabolic Specialist
• Drinking jeera water → Thyroid Detox Authority
Meanwhile, someone who did MBBS → MD → DM Endocrinology must submit biodata, caste certificate, college history, and viva voce to strangers in the comments , and random people questioning if I really know what menarche and menopause means?
Incredible country.
Here, ignorance gets followers.
Education gets interrogated.
You can “reverse menopause,”
“detox thyroid,”
“reset hormones,”
“cure PCOS,”
with seeds, smoothies, and slogans…
…and people will say “So true doctor.”
But when an actual endocrinologist talks about diet, physiology, and metabolism,
suddenly everyone becomes a scientist.
Because reels are easier to digest than textbooks.
We now live in an era where:
Anecdote is evidence.
Confidence is qualification.
English fluency is expertise.
And ring lights produce endocrinologists.
The loudest voices explaining cortisol today are people who would fail first year MBBS biochemistry.
Yet they speak with the authority of a guideline committee.
And the real comedy?
A doctor with 15+ years of training is told,
“You don’t treat root cause.”
No.
Apparently, root cause is now sold in a 30-day detox plan with a referral code.
This is not funny anymore.
This is what happens when pseudoscience gets better marketing than medicine.
And since we are talking about “truth” and “root cause” — here is the real one:
Everything I listed — detox, reversal, reset, anti-ageing with diet — is nonsense.
Not exaggerated. Not controversial.
Medically impossible.
Except for one narrow, evidence-based exception:
• Type 2 diabetes can go into remission in some carefully selected individuals with significant weight loss and sustained lifestyle change. Not all. Not most. Some.
• Thyroid function may normalize only in very specific situations like subclinical hypothyroidism due to transient causes such as iodine/nutrient deficiency or thyroiditis.
Overt hypothyroidism does not “reverse.”
Menopause doesn’t reverse.
PCOS doesn’t get cured.
Hormones don’t get “reset.”
Thyroid doesn’t get “detoxed.”
Ageing doesn’t go backwards.
If anyone tells you otherwise, they are selling hope packaged as physiology.
And hope sells better than science.
That is the real problem.
(P.S. I’m not kidding.)

Satisfied that an higher official called from @Airtel_Presence and took note of the issue and instructed local officials to take action immediately. Now waiting for a visit from the local team.
@Airtel_Presence I am not able to convert my esim to physical sim. Even after giving POI/POA of the registered customer and authorised person you guys did nothing. Should I port to @JioCare ? @TRAI
