I spend a lot of time counseling patients on lifestyle changes or simple changes versus medicine unless you absolutely need it. One of my secret weapons is RAW apple cider vinegar. I recommend 2 capfuls in about 4 ounces of water with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sometimes I add a bit of honey to a warm concoction. This helps your body use blood sugar more effectively, may decrease pain and inflammation, and decreases appetite by increasing your feeling of fullness. Today, one of the providers sent me this picture – A bottle of raw ACV and personalized shot glasses for all of the employees. #somebodyhasbeenlistening #hahaha #Pharmacist
