4 Foods That Make Your Thyroid and Heart Meds Stop Working Right
4 Foods That Can Mess with Your Medications
This week we are going to talk about something that may really surprise you. Certain foods can actually mess with your medications. If you have kidney disease, high cholesterol, infections, thyroid problems or heart disease (or really any medical condition), you want to give your medications the best chance to work.
Believe or not, some of your favorite snacks and meals might be sneaking around and getting in the way of your medications working properly to keep you healthy. Watch the video and see if any of these four food interactions apply to you. Make sure to like and comment, what you say and how you interact with me is what keeps me going every single week!
I want to make something clear as you watch this video. You should never stop any of your medications without talking to your doctor first. This video is to help you be more informed and to make the proper decisions with your healthcare provider.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.
I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
