I am really concerned. I joined a gym and was assigned a personal trainer. Before my first workout we did some testing, discussed of course diet, and did some goal making and set up a plan. All was really well until we came to medications I was on. I was quite up front when I told her what I take and that they were psychiatric medications. I also told her (some she recognised) that I blame the medications for my significant continuous weight gain. Her response was to ask me if I would consider alternatives. What? She was insinuating I ignore the advice of a professional? As if she knows better? I wasn't impressed. I told her diet was one thing but supplements and alternatives to my medication aren't in the cards. These are my life lines.
