It's indoctrinated in us from childhood to not trust our intuition

Dr. Casey Means: "This sort of gaslighting, I think there's been this incredible dissociation. It's indoctrinated in us from childhood to not trust our intuition, right? Like to think we have to give our power away because we're dumb and we're not smart. And it's built into every level of the healthcare system. I mean, in many American states, patients don't even own their healthcare records because basically doctors don't trust patients in understanding that they can understand. They don't own them. Like the doctor or the hospital does. Because we have so built in this idea that patients are not smart enough to understand their own health. So from, from, and this even plays into HIPAA and all these laws about patient privacy. It's like, oh, you know, we have to, we have to sequester. Have you ever tried to get your healthcare records? It's impossible, right?... Because if you can keep people ignorant. That's so weird. Why would you know your blood type? Because if you can keep people ignorant about their own health, then there's a power dynamic where you can sort of give them any solution. But we've been so divorced from our common sense by design. There's no fat giraffes, right? They know, right? But we've been told that we can't understand. Every sixth grader in America can understand basic biology, metabolic health, and nutrition. But we have been told it's too complicated. Like Kelly said, by design, confusion is the product."
