What if the medication that's helping one health problem is quietly contributing to another?
Many of the most commonly prescribed medications for cholesterol, diabetes, acid reflux, allergies, anxiety, and pain can affect nutrient levels, hormones, sleep, memory, and energy over time. But common doesn’t mean the medication is harmless.
In this episode, I explain why medications should never be put on autopilot. From statins and metformin to acid blockers and antidepressants, I share the questions every patient should be asking to better understand the long-term effects of the medications they take every day.
