    5 Reasons You're Not Seeing Results With Your Herbs & Supplements; Episode 3

    Why You’re Not Getting the Results You Expect from Herbs Episode Summary Are you taking herbs but not seeing the results you expected? You’re not alone. Many people try herbal and natural remedies but get frustrated when they don’t work the way they hoped. In this episode, I break down the five biggest reasons why herbs might not be working for you—and what you can do to fix it. From unrealistic expectations to improper dosing and choosing the wrong preparation, we’ll explore the key mistakes that keep people from getting the full benefits of herbal medicine. If you’re serious about using herbs effectively for long-term health, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why herbs don’t work like pharmaceuticals—and why that’s a good thing✅ How to avoid common mistakes when choosing and using herbs✅ The real reason your dose might be too low to see results✅ Why tinctures aren’t always the “most potent” form of herbal medicine✅ When it’s time to stop self-treating and seek expert guidance Key Topics Covered: 1. Misunderstanding Expectations Many people expect herbs to work like pharmaceuticals—fast and dramatically. Herbal medicine works by supporting the body’s natural healing process, which takes time. Knowing what to expect can help you stay consistent and see long-term results. 2. Using the Wrong Herb Herbal medicine isn’t one-size-fits-all—what works for one person might not work for another. Complex issues often require formulas, not just single herbs. The wrong herb (or the wrong combination) can actually make symptoms worse. 3. Incorrect Dosage Most supplement labels list minimal or maintenance doses, not therapeutic levels. Some herbs require higher doses to be effective, but this varies widely. Weak doses = slow or no results. 4. Wrong Preparation Method Not all herbal forms work the same: tinctures, teas, extracts, and whole herbs have different uses. Common misconceptions: Tinctures aren’t necessarily the strongest form of herbal medicine. Not all herbs work well as tea (e.g., turmeric, ashwagandha). Labels on herbal extracts can be misleading—how much are you really getting? The part of the plant matters! Examples: Ashwagandha leaves (vs. root) Goldenseal aerial parts (vs. root) Dandelion roots vs. leaves – totally different actions! 5. Self-Treatment of Complex Issues Trying to self-diagnose and treat complex health issues can backfire. Some conditions require expert guidance for effective, sustainable results. Misusing herbs can delay healing—or even make things worse. Final Thoughts & Takeaways: Herbal medicine works, but it requires the right approach. Be patient, be informed, and be strategic with your herbal choices. If you’re dealing with a stubborn or complex issue, don’t go it alone—working with a trained herbalist can make all the difference.
