How to Help Your Medications Work Better

Hint: It starts with supporting your health naturally.

If someone had told me a few years ago that I’d be here today—thriving, feeling better than ever, and on fewer medications—I wouldn’t have believed them. Because back then, I was juggling 10 different prescription medications. Each one was prescribed to manage a symptom, but no one ever stopped to ask the bigger question:

Why was I feeling so awful in the first place?

Let me back up and explain how I got here.

Life as a Pharmacist—and a Patient

As a traditionally trained pharmacist, I’ve spent decades helping patients navigate their prescriptions. But when it came to my own health, I found myself frustrated. In my 40s, I started experiencing symptoms I couldn’t explain: exhaustion, mood swings, weight gain, and feeling like I was just off.

Every doctor visit led to another prescription, and while each one helped in its own way, I never felt truly better.

Before I knew it, I was on 10 medications and still struggling. I couldn’t help but wonder,

Is there something else I can do to support my body?

Losing My Parents
—and Gaining a New Perspective

Then COVID hit.

Losing both of my parents to the virus shook me to my core. It forced me to take a step back—not just from my career but from how I was approaching my own health.

I took time off to grieve and reflect, and in that quiet space, I decided to take control of my health. I wanted to feel better—not just mask my symptoms but truly heal.

Discovering Functional Medicine

This led me to functional medicine, a field that focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of health issues. I went back to school, completed a Functional Medicine fellowship, and learned how to support the body in healing itself naturally. And here’s what I discovered: It’s not about choosing between medications and natural solutions. It’s about using both together to help your body thrive.

By making small but meaningful lifestyle changes—like eating better, managing stress, balancing my hormones, and addressing nutrient deficiencies—I saw incredible results.

I went from being on 10 prescriptions to just the essentials (including my hormones), and for the first time in years, I felt better than ever.

Back to the Pharmacy—with a New Perspective

Now, I’m back in the traditional pharmacy world, but with a whole new mindset. I still believe in the power of prescription medications—they save lives and improve quality of life every day. But I’ve also learned how important it is to support those medications with natural approaches.

Here’s what I share with my patients now:

• Medications and lifestyle go hand in hand. Your prescriptions will work better when you support your body with good nutrition, stress management, and healthy habits.
• Your body is unique. What works for someone else might not work for you, so finding your balance is key.
• You have more control than you think. Simple changes—like improving sleep or managing stress—can have a huge impact on your health and how your medications work.
