About this episode

Dr. Robert Beltran discusses the effectiveness of herbal medicine compared to pharmaceuticals based on his personal and professional experiences.

What if the pills in your medicine cabinet are the problem, not the fix? Dr. Robert Beltran was a triple board-certified surgeon and pharmacist for 30 years. Then a 2014 accident left him dependent on OxyContin. A five-herb blend from an Asian market cleared his brain fog in three weeks and got him off opioids, launching a decade of formulating plant-based supplements at recomnd Nutrition. Meet our guest Dr. Robert Beltran (MD, PharmD, FACS) is a retired ENT and cosmetic surgeon and the CEO and Chief Formulator of recomnd Nutrition. At 73, he blends a pharmacist's rigor with a decade of clinical work on herbal formulas for cognition, stress, and sexual wellness.
