Why women metabolize medications differently?

Most clinical trials still use male physiology as the default. Here's what that means for you.

Pellentesque consectetur tellus ut mauris vitae faucibus. Tincidunt non eu non semper. Habitant viverra dictum eget id eget tellus magna. Nibh tincidunt fermentum integer adipiscing tortor at. Ut viverra eget velit nibh viverra dictum lectus. Eu pharetra orci tincidunt sagittis dignissim sed eu vel.

Eu pharetra orci tincidunt sagittis dignissim sed eu vel. Habitant viverra dictum eget id eget tellus magna. Nibh tincidunt fermentum integer adipiscing tortor at. Ut viverra eget velit nibh viverra dictum lectus. Pellentesque consectetur tellus ut mauris vitae faucibus.

Most people don't need more supplements — they need someone to actually look at what they're already taking.

Three things I check on every consult

  1. Are you taking anything that's actively working against another medication you're on?

  2. Is anything redundant — two products doing the same thing in slightly different ways?

  3. 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.
