Iatrogenic Treatment Harm: 200+ Expert Talks

About Iatrogenic Treatment Harm

Sometimes the problems people bring to DrTalks started after a medication, procedure or treatment. Gut trouble after antibiotics, nutrient deficiencies from long-term prescriptions, bone loss on steroids, hair loss during treatment, and fatigue or brain fog that began with a new medication are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past single side effects. Practitioners explain how treatments can affect your microbiome, nutrient levels, hormones and bones, and why it's worth weighing benefits and risks with your provider. You'll find conversations on the deficiencies medications can cause, everyday things that disrupt your microbiome, steroids and bone loss, and coming off long-term opioids with support. Doctors and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from nutrient and stool testing to bone density scans, and what helps, from replacing depleted nutrients and supporting the microbiome to strength training and, where appropriate, reviewing or reducing medications together with your prescriber.
