The difference between a side effect and a drug interaction?

I spent nine years in biotech helping drugs get developed for the average patient. The problem is, nobody is average.

Three things I check on every consult

Are you taking anything that's actively working against another medication you're on?
Is anything redundant — two products doing the same thing in slightly different ways?
Is anything you're paying for actually doing nothing that the data backs up?

Pills and supplements arranged neatly on a table

“Working with Nayun gave me clarity about what I actually need to take and what I can finally let go of. I left our session feeling like a weight had lifted.”
