Totally agree that docs are way too eager to prescribe pills instead of encouraging lifestyle changes. I'm fortunate to have grown up in a health conscious family where healthy food and getting outside for daily exercise was the norm. After menopause I started developing digestive issues and doc said I should go on meds. I chose to do a daily diet log instead. Figured out what made me feel pain/throat closing after a few weeks, made the changes, no meds needed. Food is our best pharmaceutical if well chosen!
