Episode #179: Getting Off Your Meds

Were you ever prescribed a medication and didn’t question why or for how long or even what it was for exactly? Did you have a say in this decision? Would you prefer to NOT be on any medications at all?

Well if you answered yes to any of these you will want to listen to this podcast. 

Today I talk with Howie Kra, who has been on his health journey for 3.5 years now and has made amazing progress. Howie was on three different medications, and like many of you, wanted to be off them but just didn’t know what he needed to do to get there.

Howie shares his health challenges, where he started and how far he has come. If you want to hear about what Howie has done and the ups and downs of this process take a listen. He’s always an inspiration to listen to and is sure to get you thinking about your own health journey.

Howie and I talked about:

  • The medications Howie was taking when we first met and why he was on them
  • The conversations he had with his doctor (or didn’t!)
  • The small, incremental changes Howie made to come off his meds
  • Howie’s weakness – late night snacking! – and what he did about it
  • His exercise routine before and after
  • The support provided by a gym coach
  • How we worked to monitor Howie’s blood pressure and make changes
  • The benefit of support, like we provide in our membership
  • If you need medication then some underlying problem needs addressed
  • How to advocate for yourself with health professionals
  • The 9-day Medical Medium cleanse we just completed
  • Portion control and being aware of your hunger cues
  • The 3 Cs – consistency, clarity, and commitment (and Howie’s extra 4th!)
