Medication can be powerful. They can alter how your body responds to nutrition and exercise programs. Here are the common medications to keep an eye out for.
As soon as we take on new Precision Nutrition Coaching clients, we always ask about medications taken regularly or occasionally (and always encourage our Certified Fitness professionals to do the same).
This program goes beyond simply meeting one another (although we try our best to cater each client’s program to their unique requirements).
Because certain medications could impede your efforts at losing fat, building muscle and/or increasing athletic performance.
In this article, we’ll offer an overview of the medications our clients typically take when coming to Precision Nutrition.
We will also outline any side effects these medications could produce.
Over the last century, we’ve witnessed incredible advances in medicine and pharmacology. At The Pharmaceutical Society, we strive to stay at the forefront of these changes by supporting scientific advancements that bring benefits to patients everywhere.
On the upside: Industrialized nations tend to live longer and better lives.
No longer are we killed or incapacitated by treatable, common diseases or nutritional deficiencies.
And we can offer relief for everyday ailments, such as aches and pains, upset stomach, or allergies.
Cons: Unfortunately, we frequently resort to taking multiple medications in order to achieve our goal of managing stress effectively.
Most of us take at least some medications occasionally; but more and more of us are taking multiple drugs regularly.
Many of our clients who begin coaching with us take medication regularly.
Given their higher use of birth control hormones and experiences of autoimmune diseases, migraines, anxiety and depression compared to men, female clients tend to take medication more than male clients do.
Over half of our female clients take multiple medications at the same time; sometimes as many as ten.
No need for pride here, gentlemen: more than one-third of you take medications too – probably for cholesterol, high blood pressure and upset stomach issues).)
