I know generalization can be dangerous, but I have now had two primary care physicians who were Doctors of Osteopathic medicine (DOs), and for the sort of active, healthy person who hangs out here, I recommend investigating. In my experience, they have been more oriented to prevention and less likely to look at me cross-eyed when I describe my exercise interests and routines. I hate the word "holistic," but their view of health indeed seems to be exactly that relative to MDs.
I had a checkup today with my doc and among other things we discussed kettlebells and powerlifting. He has become a KB enthusiast and used to powerlift. I took a quick look at him and said "you had a good bench and you deadlifted sumo." He laughed and said, yep exactly. He said he's been learning kettlebells from YouTube but was concerned about the instructional quality (cue Dan John) ... I gave him some of Pavel's book titles and told him to check the site out.
