Abstract

This commentary on a case considers when physicians offering health advice on diet has potential to undermine trust. If physicians fail to model behaviors for which they advocate, they could be targeted by media or have disputes with colleagues, which could further undermine trust. To better manage professional obligations to both individual patients and the public, this article proposes prioritizing interprofessional, community-engaged approaches to advocacy.
