Too Many Medications

Podcast 219

In Too Many Medications, I talk about the over-prescribing of medicines. Did you know that more than half of the US population is taking anywhere from 3 to 22 prescription drugs on an annual basis? This is a serious problem.

In this episode, Cathy talks about:

• Her husband’s diabetic diagnosis
• The importance of making simple lifestyle changes
• Why you should be cautious about the interactions between the medicines and supplements
• How you can reduce the chances of negative consequences
• The type of questions you should be asking your doctor and health practitioners

Memorable Quotes
