July 2023: Quick Guide to Our Best Posts on Meds, Supplements, and Practical Health Tips
July was packed with useful reads. If you want straight answers without jargon, this page groups the top posts so you can pick what helps you now — whether that’s managing bladder spasms after pregnancy, comparing heart meds, or checking out natural supplements that actually have science behind them.
What you'll find in this month
A quick tour: we covered infection prevention for athletes using ampicillin, the health perks of caprylic acid, a clear comparison between eplerenone and spironolactone, and deep dives on several plant-based supplements — American hellebore, burdock, and Madagascar periwinkle. We also shared practical tips for bladder spasms during pregnancy and postpartum. Each post is short, actionable, and aimed at helping you make a smarter choice.
Want the highlights? Ampicillin can help treat certain bacterial infections common in contact sports or wounds, but it’s a prescription antibiotic. Don’t self-prescribe — talk to your team medic or doctor if you suspect an infection. For athletes, timely care and proper wound hygiene matter just as much as the medicine.
Caprylic acid showed up as a handy supplement this month. Readers liked its potential for supporting gut balance and fighting yeast overgrowth, plus easy uses like adding to MCT blends. It’s not a miracle pill, but for people dealing with stubborn yeast issues or seeking gut support, it’s worth discussing with your clinician.
On heart meds: eplerenone vs spironolactone — both help with heart failure and high blood pressure. Eplerenone tends to cause fewer hormonal side effects but often costs more. Spironolactone is cheaper and effective but can cause more dizziness or hormonal changes for some people. Your doctor will weigh cost, side effects, and monitoring needs.
Natural options and women’s health tips
We pulled back the curtain on three plant supplements. American hellebore has biochemical features that researchers are watching for heart and mental health; burdock came up as a gentle detox and antioxidant support used historically for skin and digestion; Madagascar periwinkle has compounds of interest in serious research, though that doesn’t mean a simple supplement equals a cure. If you try any plant-based product, pick a reputable brand and check interactions with meds.
Finally, practical help for bladder spasms in pregnancy and after birth: pelvic floor exercises, steady hydration, avoiding bladder irritants, and talking to your provider about safe medicines or physical therapy. These steps often reduce symptoms and improve daily life fast.

In my exploration of Eplerenone and Spironolactone, I discovered that both are effective medications for heart failure and hypertension. However, each has its own pros and cons. While Eplerenone has fewer side effects, it is more expensive. Spironolactone, on the other hand, is more affordable but may cause more side effects. Your choice between the two will largely depend on your specific health needs and financial capability.
