Neither addresses how skin actually ages...
Skin aging is cumulative biology.

What’s most concerning isn’t just how widely this medication is prescribed — it’s how often it’s viewed as “safe enough” without ongoing reassessment. In older adults, age-related changes in kidney function, balance, and cognition can quietly shift the risk profile, especially when combined with other medications. Widespread use should always trigger more curiosity, not less.

In ancient Chinese medicine, there’s a legendary tale of three doctors:
1️⃣ The lowest level doctor treats illness when it has already manifested.
2️⃣ The mid-level doctor treats symptoms before they become severe.
3️⃣ The highest level doctor prevents illness before it even begins.

True healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about maintaining balance so disease never takes root in the first place. 🌿✨

When a medication becomes commonplace, it often escapes careful re-evaluation.
Yet physiology changes with age, context, and cumulative exposure — and what once seemed benign may no longer be so.

This is why I continue to emphasize start low, go slow, reassessment, and prevention-first care. In Radical Resilience, I explore how true resilience is built not through substitution, but through restoring balance at the system level.

Safer, non-pharmacological strategies deserve more attention — not as alternatives of last resort, but as foundations of thoughtful medicine.

When something becomes routine in medicine, it often escapes the level of scrutiny it once received. Prescriptions for gabapentin have skyrocketed from 24 million in 2010 to nearly 59 million in 2024, making it the fifth most dispensed drug in the U.S. The steepest rise is occurring in older adults and women, populations uniquely vulnerable to its cognitive, balance, and respiratory side effects.

As physiology changes with age and kidney function declines, medications that once seemed benign can quietly accumulate risk over time. This is why ongoing reassessment, dose vigilance, and prevention-first thinking matter.

The vagus nerve is one of the most important pathways between your brain and body. It influences your stress response, digestion, heart rate, inflammation, mood, and overall resilience. When it’s supported and “toned,” the body shifts more easily out of survival mode and into rest, repair, and healing.

Acupuncture is one of my favorite ways to gently stimulate and regulate the vagus nerve, helping the nervous system remember safety and balance again.

If you want to learn more about how the vagus nerve, acupuncture, and nervous system health work together, you can find my book on Amazon — link in my bio.
