Summary
Managing medications can be overwhelming for older adults and their families. In this episode of Get Ready for Better Aging, host Jacqui Clark welcomes Dr. Nancy Taylor, founder of TaylorMade Senior Advocacy and Consulting. With decades of experience as a pharmacist, plus credentials as a Board-Certified Patient Advocate and Certified Senior Advisor, Dr. Taylor brings deep insight into one of the most pressing challenges in senior health: polypharmacy. Together, they uncover how too many medications—or the wrong combinations—can impact quality of life, drive up costs, and create dangerous prescribing cascades. Dr. Taylor explains why advocacy is critical in today’s complex healthcare system, how personalized healthcare action plans work, and the ways adult children can get relief when caregiving becomes overwhelming. If you’ve ever worried about a loved one’s medications or struggled to navigate the system yourself, this episode offers practical strategies and hope.
