Mom to Mom: “I’ve Always Taken This” — When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Medications? How long have you been taking that medication? And when was the last time someone actually stopped and asked: “Do you still need this?” In this personal Mom to Mom episode of the Root Cause Holistic Health Podcast, Tracey Green shares a story about taking her mom to the doctor's office—and a conversation about her medications that made Tracey stop and think. Like so many people, her mom had medications she'd been taking because… well, she'd always taken them. But our bodies change. Our health changes. Our diagnoses change. Other medications and supplements get added. And sometimes the prescription list keeps following us year after year without us fully understanding why each medication is still there. Tracey talks about the importance of becoming an active participant in your healthcare and asking better questions: 💊 Why am I taking this medication? 📅 How long have I been taking it? 🩺 Is it still appropriate for my current health and goals? ⚠️ Could it interact with anything else I'm taking? 📋 Are there medications that were intended to be temporary but became long-term? ❓ What are the risks and benefits of continuing it? 👩⚕️ And if something needs to change, what is the safest way to do that with my healthcare provider? This isn't about being anti-medication. And it definitely isn't about throwing away prescriptions or stopping medications on your own. It's about medication awareness. It's about knowing what's going into your body, understanding why you're taking it, and periodically reviewing your complete medication and supplement list with a qualified healthcare professional. Because “I've always taken it” shouldn't be the only reason you continue taking something.

How long have you been taking that medication?
And when was the last time someone actually stopped and asked:
“Do you still need this?”

Tracey talks about the importance of becoming an active participant in your healthcare and asking better questions:
💊 Why am I taking this medication?
📅 How long have I been taking it?
🩺 Is it still appropriate for my current health and goals?
⚠️ Could it interact with anything else I'm taking?
📋 Are there medications that were intended to be temporary but became long-term?
❓ What are the risks and benefits of continuing it?
👩⚕️ And if something needs to change, what is the safest way to do that with my healthcare provider?
This isn't about being anti-medication.

It's about knowing what's going into your body, understanding why you're taking it, and periodically reviewing your complete medication and supplement list with a qualified healthcare professional.
