Sunday Aug 01, 2021

If the past 1.5 years have had a dynamic impact on your day to day stress, you’re not alone!

Episode 247: Drug Induced Nutrient Deficiency

Monday Jul 05, 2021

Monday Jul 05, 2021

Are your prescriptions driving micronutrient deficiency? Want to know more about how prescription medications can drive imbalance?

Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss common drugs prescribed in the US from birth control to PPIs to statins to antidepressants and beyond.

While it can be tempting to prescribe a pill to fix an ill, functional medicine interventions can actually get to the root cause of dysfunction and support whole body health.
