Your Path to Vibrant Health: Taking the First Step
Navigating the world of health and medication can feel complex, but you have the power to make it simpler and more effective. Understanding that your essential medications can have nutritional side effects is not a cause for alarm, but a call to action. It’s an invitation to engage more deeply with your own well-being, to listen to your body, and to build an even stronger partnership with your healthcare team.
You are the foremost expert on your own body. By combining your personal experience with the clinical expertise of your doctor and pharmacist, you can create a wellness plan that truly supports you in mind and body. Feeling energetic, sharp, and strong is your birthright at any age, and being proactive about drug-nutrient interactions is a key step on that vibrant path.

1. Create Your Master List: Write down every single medication and supplement you take, including the dosages. Don’t forget over-the-counter items.

3. Add One Nutrient Powerhouse: When you go grocery shopping this week, purposefully add one food mentioned in this article to your cart. Choose a bag of spinach, a sweet potato, or some almonds. Small changes create lasting habits!
