As a pharmacist who has filled hundreds of thousands of prescriptions, spoken with countless patients, and had a front-row seat to the sick care system, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when health goes wrong.
We live in a society that normalizes feeling lousy, accepting being sick, exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and over-medicated as the norm.
Here’s the truth the healthcare system often hides: your body can heal itself. With a preventive wellness approach, we can reduce illness and avoid the daily cocktail of medications just to get out of bed.
The secret? Don’t wait for symptoms to appear before taking charge of your health. By adopting preventive maintenance, you can nip illness in the bud and live a vibrant life without endless prescriptions or feeling drained and anxious every day.
What practical steps can we take to maintain our health before it breaks down? How do we shift from a sickness mindset to one of wellness?
In this episode, I share the lessons I’ve learned over 30 years in pharmacy and how you can apply them to avoid the common mistakes so many make.

The bad news (and the good news)
You can’t medicate your way out of a problem you behaved your way into. How do we use behavior to influence better health?
