I think healthcare can be more of a "do as I say, not as I do" situation. They can be perfectly knowledgable, even if they don't follow their own advice. Life isn't as easy as "just do it", and it's likely helpful for many people to work with someone who understands that.
And if we don't just cherry pick one thing and instead look at the litany of health issues that may be self-inflicted in medical professions, we probably wouldn't be left with many doctors/nurses.
