Welcome to Health Beyond Weight Loss, the podcast that helps you break sugar cravings through balanced blood sugar so you can regain steady energy, think clearly, and take control of your health. I’m TaShawn Davis, Registered Nurse and Holistic Health Coach, and after more than two decades working in healthcare, I began to see a pattern. Many people are struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance, yet very few understand the simple physiology behind what’s happening inside their bodies. On this podcast, I break down complex health topics into simple, practical conversations so you can understand how sugar, insulin resistance, and metabolic health affect the way your body functions. Each episode will help you connect the dots between what you eat, how your body responds, and how stabilizing your blood sugar can restore your energy and support long-term health.

The Questions Every Patient Should Ask Could brain fog or memory loss be about more than just getting older? Many people assume forgetfulness, mental fatigue, or difficulty concentrating are simply part of aging. But what if it's time to ask a different question? As a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of nursing experience, I've spent years caring for patients in their homes. Before every visit, I would sit in my car reviewing their chart. Time after time, I'd see memory loss or dementia listed among their diagnoses—and then I'd notice a familiar pattern in the medication list. Not because medications are bad. Not because anyone had done anything wrong. But because they reminded me to ask a simple question: \"Are we only treating symptoms, or are we also asking why those symptoms developed in the first place?\" In this episode of Health Beyond Weight Loss, we discuss seven common medications (or medication categories) that often lead to important conversations about sleep, nutrition, metabolism, inflammation, insulin resistance, and brain health. This episode is not about stopping medications. It's about understanding your body, partnering with your healthcare provider, and learning how to ask better questions. In This Episode ✅ Why every medication tells a story ✅ The home health nursing experience that changed how I view chronic disease ✅ Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and acetylcholine: Why long-term use deserves a conversation ✅ Proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec®, Nexium®, Protonix®): stomach acid, vitamin B12, magnesium, and the gut-brain connection ✅ Statins and cholesterol: Why cholesterol is essential for healthy cells, hormones, and brain function ✅ Anti-anxiety medications and cognitive health ✅ Prescription sleep m…","meta_description":"Could Your Medications Be Affecting Your Memory?
