Beyond pills: How can we better improve your health?

If you've read our story, you already know that H2 Wellness was born from the limitations of conventional medical solutions in improving my father's health.

Medication: A plaster on an open wound, not a complete recovery

In my father’s case, he had an angioplasty in 2006, and for the next 15 years, his health was always “very good” during his annual checkup.

It is true that angioplasty and medication kept him from experiencing heart attacks, strokes, and even suicidal thoughts; however, despite controlled cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, developing insulin resistance contributed to ongoing struggles with depression and new plaque built up in his arteries, necessitating a bypass surgery in 2021.

My dad's health journey made me rethink this whole "medicine fixes everything" idea. It hit me – medicine works wonders in emergencies, but for some long-term problems, it's like putting a bandage on a deep wound.

I'd always held the belief that good blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol were an impenetrable shield against heart problems, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

My father's case shattered that illusion. So, what does the science say?

1. Experts now suggest that statins may offer little to no benefit in preventing cardiovascular events and death for high-risk patients. Shockingly, nearly 75% of patients hospitalized for heart attacks had "normal" LDL cholesterol, and almost half had "optimal" levels. (1,2)

2. Psychotherapy has been shown to be equally effective as antidepressants in treating severe depression. But the best part? You get to tackle depression without the potential baggage of side effects. (3)

We need bigger solutions, more than just pills, to truly stay healthy in the long run.
