(Don't Waste Your Money)" (posted October 22, 2022). The excerpt is a spoken monologue by a practitioner discussing patients arriving with multiple bags of supplement and health advice — noting that most of the ideas aren't harmful but there is simply too much to act on. The speaker highlights information overload in the internet age and the difficulty patients have prioritizing which interventions are most important.

Chapters

As a practitioner, I've literally seen people come in with 2 or 3 shopping bags full of good ideas that they've been given by people to take or do or whatever. And I look through them and obviously 3 shopping bags is more than anybody can really do or take or incorporate. And the thing that I'll see is there'd be almost nothing in there that's bad for you or is a bad idea. It's just too much all at once. And I think in the internet age, we now have immediate access to so much information, all of this other modalities and things we want to put in, and it's really hard for most patients to stratify that into what's most important.
