The Value of Real, Personalized Care in a World With AI
Someone recently asked why they need a nutritionist or pharmacist when they could just plug their question into an AI platform like ChatGPT and get a meal plan or answers to all their healthcare questions.
Well, I want to share a quick story to show why real, personalized care matters.
I was working with a client who was beyond excited because she was pregnant! However, early on in her pregnancy she was dealing with a lot of morning sickness and struggling to take her prenatal vitamins every day. She told me her OB had recommended she only take one capsule, which led to a few questions and a deeper conversation. That’s when I found out the prenatal she purchased on Amazon had a serving size of 8 capsules!
First of all—8 capsules?? That’s insane. Who wants to take 8 capsules a day? Her OB's advice of only taking 1 capsule left her possibly missing out on key nutrients that are critical for her baby’s growth and development, potentially putting her baby at risk for neural tube defects.
I was able to guide her toward a better solution. I suggested she ask her doctor for a prescription for a high-quality prenatal that contains the recommended amounts of folic acid and DHA (important for her baby’s brain development) as well as all the other necessary nutrients. The best part? As a prescription, it would most likely be covered by her insurance, so she wouldn’t have to keep paying for it on Amazon.
On top of that, I recommended a few practical tips and supplements to help relieve her morning sickness. And guess what? They ACTUALLY worked! She was incredibly grateful for the advice, help and support.
I was able to identify this all quickly by asking just a few simple questions and having a real conversation. This is a perfect example of what a pharmacist can do that AI simply can’t. Real, person-to-person conversation and interaction matters.
