How to Approach Pain Without Over-Reliance on Medications

EP. 232:  Grab my FREE 4 Part Video Series: GLP1s Uncovered: https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered

In this episode I’m clearing up the confusion and political noise around Tylenol and NSAIDs. These over the counter medications are handed out like candy, yet decades in practice treating pain have shown me how often they backfire: from gut damage and hormone disruption to stalled healing and liver stress. Add in the recent headlines about Tylenol’s potential link to autism, and suddenly what was once considered safe has become a lightning rod of controversy.

I’ll break it down simply: what these meds really do in the body, why long-term reliance can set you up for bigger problems, and how to think critically instead of getting caught in the political crossfire. This is not about fear. It is about facts, context, and giving you tools to make better choices for your health. Plus I let you know what to you can do instead.

Topics Discussed:→ Is Tylenol safe for long-term use?→ What are the risks of ibuprofen and other NSAIDs?→ How does Tylenol affect liver and gut health?→ What are safer alternatives for pain relief?→ Why was the Vioxx scandal important for pain management?
