Higher baseline stress and anxiety can mask or counteract your medication's effectiveness.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Inadequate protein, vitamins, or minerals can impact how your body processes the medication.
Hormonal Changes
Menstrual cycles, thyroid issues, or other hormonal shifts can affect medication response.
