I often get asked by patients for over the counter (OTC) supplements recommendations they can take to help better manage their symptoms or to improve their general health. In addition, I create a lot of video content to help educate others to understand their health and get asked for tips on how to best create videos. At the bottom of the page, you’ll find a list of cameras and gear that I use.

While the products below are what I recommend to my patients, you should always consult with your doctor before taking new supplements or making significant changes to your diet. I hope you find these lists helpful.
