Maximum Taste

There’s a theory of maximum taste. It’s January 2021 and perhaps you’re thinking you know where this is going, just another doctor telling you to eat less, eat better, and exercise more. Well, those are all true, and if you’d like to read more, look here, here, and here.

It’s better to show than tell, so I look forward to showing you progress on my own diet and exercise journey in 2021. Watch this space!

Back to that theory. The theory of maximum taste says that each person’s mind is defined by its upper limit – the best that it habitually consumes and is capable of consuming. It follows that we should feed our minds appropriately. David Brooks takes this to mean we should read more, more reflectively, and more challenging material. I’d like to take this further. 

Many of us speak and listen more and faster than we read. We are the average of the five people we spend most time around. Consuming better content, being around better people, having better conversations – these are all things we can do to improve our upper limits. 

So where to from here?

Firstly, for everyone, we believe that having a usual GP or General Practice is central to each person’s care and recommend that people with any health issues that come to the attention of other health professionals should be advised to attend their usual GP or General Practice rather than a specialised service (ie a place not providing the holistic care a specialist GP would).   If  they say that they don’t have a usual GP or general practice, they should be helped to find one and to actually attend it.

(Hat tip: Dr Oliver Frank)

(TL;DR – Get a regular GP or General Practice and use them!)

Secondly, if you’re employed, get a side hustle and get into business. If you’ve already got a business, get a network. Want to get started? Find your tribe here!

Thirdly, if you are a great GP or a great Allied Health Professional, and you want to serve your clients or patients to the best of your ability, without worrying about all the non clinical things that get in your way, lets talk. Call Mrs Hayley Roberts on 8295 3200 and have a coffee and chat as to how PartridgeGP can help you to help others.
