  • Are you tired of leaving your doctors’ appointments confused about the next steps? Are you sick of scouring the internet about health questions? Do you wish your doctor had more time to explain things to you? Are you ready to know exactly what you can do for your health? In this podcast, you will find health topics broken down into step by step instructions freeing you from confusion, googling, and lack of progress in your health. My mission is to equip you to manage your chronic conditions, navigate acute health problems, tackle lifestyle changes, and raise healthy children. If you are ready to take steps towards optimum health — you are in the right place. Hey, I’m Kayla, a medical student, passionate about changing the way we do healthcare.

    EP 16 // Lying to Your Doctor About How Regularly You Take Your Pills? 3 Ways to Get More Consistent With Your Medications So They Can Work as They Were Designed
    Jan 31 2025
    Hi folks, Today we talk about three different tools that can help you remember to take your medications. Life becomes busy and the human mind is fickle. It is completely normal to forget to take your medications. I would actually argue if you don’t set up a system to support yourself I would EXPECT you to forget. So I want to help you set yourself up for success, so that you can take your medications as prescribed and hopefully become healthier as a result.
