@magnoliapharmacy: As a pharmacist, there are 3 medications I would avoid at all cost: NSAIDs, PPIs, and Statins. Yes, they work — but they often mask symptoms while creating new problems down the road. In my Reel, I explain why I’d avoid them. 👇 Check below where I’ve listed the root-cause approaches for each condition these drugs are usually used for. 1. NSAIDs (pain & inflammation) - Instead of just blocking inflammation, look at why you’re inflamed. • Anti-inflammatory diet (cut processed foods, add omega-3s & antioxidants) • Magnesium, curcumin, and a high quality omega-3 2. PPIs (acid reflux/heartburn) - Heartburn often comes from low stomach acid or food sensitivities. • Digestive support: enzymes, betaine HCl, apple cider vinegar • Probiotics and gut healing support • Avoid trigger foods (alcohol, grains like wheat and corn, and dairy) 3. Statins (cholesterol) 👉 Cholesterol isn’t the full story — inflammation and particle size matter more. • Advanced lipid testing (ApoB, oxidized LDL, Lp(a)) • Diet: more fiber, omega-3s, less sugar • Supplements: High quality omega-3, bergamot, and Berberine combo is great optimize cholesterol • Lifestyle: exercise, stress reduction, sleep #magnoliarx #Pharmacist #nsaids #ppis #statins
