Although GP's know more about the human body and how to treat illnesses than we will ever know, they typically know very little to nothing about nutrition, curing and healthy living. It's simply not what they are taught; that's the unfortunately fact. There are of course exceptions.
You likely know what you should and shouldn't be doing. Nearly all of us do. But doing it consistently is a different matter.
Cut out the alcohol (and smoking of course).
Slow down, take time for yourself, sensible exercise, fresh air, sufficient sleep.
Drink lots of water.
Cut out processed food, including meat.
Cut out meat near enough altogether.
Replace with loads of fruit, salad, veg, especially greens. Add potatoes, beans and the like. Ideally organic if you can manage it. (Don't worry for one second about protein and carb myths - when did anyone last die of protein deficiency - these foods have everything we need).
Buy yourself a juicer and a Nutribullet and get into using them big style.
Some say 'but I enjoy eating (crap) blah blah'. Believe me, you can have some wonderful food and drink from the above.
Good luck.
