Do you take a multivitamin? Glucosamine? How about turmeric? What if the over-the-counter supplements you trust might be putting your health at risk? After having a patient whose surgery was postponed due to an abnormal blood test may have been caused by over-the-counter supplements, I started to investigate the safety of my own daily supplements,

The simple truth is that there is little to no official regulation. Companies can sell fraudulent supplements for years before being caught. But fortunately, there are organizations that perform independent testing and certification which can offer a degree of safety assurance.

Starting with my own fish oil supplement, I demonstrate how one can check a supplement's safety. We should certainly evaluate our supplement choices and the safety measures we take. Take a deep dive into the murky waters of over-the-counter supplements!

This week's thankful is a callback to Dr. Susan Love, and her Breast Book, which is a must read for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, or supporting someone with breast cancer.

Let's talk about the popular concept of flow state – an optimal state of consciousness where we perform and feel our best.

Let's bust through the barriers preventing us from achieving this state, like lack of clear goals, distractions, and self-doubt, and set us on a path to a more focused and fulfilling existence.

The creators of OxyContin, the Sackler family, have blood on their hands. Their pursuit of wealth led to an opioid crisis, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and the addiction of millions. The recent Supreme Court block of their proposed settlement including legal immunity only reinforces the malevolent legacy of a family that created a multi-billion dollar empire by ruthlessly exploiting the vulnerable.

What should we do with the most evil family in America? First of all, we physicians need to realize our role in exacerbating the opioid crisis, a sobering recognition that fuels our commitment to do better. It's a conversation that needs to be had, and it starts here.
