I commented about taking Gabapentin which really works for me! However, you (Dr. Becky) never mentioned that you agreed or disagreed with it. Then I thought that you are a natural path doc, right? So you wouldn't recommend taking Big Pharma meds, correct?
Hi there! Sorry didn’t see that comment! I’m in the belief that we can use medication when needed (lowest dose for the lowest time possible) but that there are also many other natural strategies that can be combined or take the place of medications especially due to side effects of meds etc. hope that makes sense :)
@@drbeckynd Thanks Dr. Becky. I hate taking meds but they seem to work for me. I try to lead a somewhat healthy lifestyle, don't drink, smoke, nor recreational drugs! I eat plants as much as I can, along with proteins. However, I am diabetic and love my sugar!! Some downfalls for sure. So taking the meds is sometimes just easier as that is what my oncologists and doctors do, prescribe, prescribe, prescribe!
I get that for sure - I find what weight loss programs often promote also just hurt more long run (ie only eat salads, limit calories a ton, etc) and just exercise tons - it doesn’t take into account things like sugar regulation, stress, sleep etc impacts on metabolism or other underlying reasons.

@@denisezugic6128 totally get it! I know how hard things can be but don’t give up! Small habit changes can go a long way over time. ❤️
Losing weight is so hard 😫
