Brendan Gaughran, molecular biologist and founder of the nutraceutical company Liver Medic, has a simple message for Americans trying to improve their health: "Keep going to your doctor, but don't stop there."
"Doctors are essential. Everyone should go to their doctor, listen to their advice, and take medications as prescribed," Gaughran says. "But people should also understand that health is multifaceted. A growing body of research supports the idea that looking at your health holistically, whether it is nutrition, environment, lifestyle, or supplementation, can have a powerful effect."
