Coffee in the morning and melatonin many nights of the week. I do an allergy pill every night before bed in the fall/spring and I recently got in to multivitamins for vit-C and vit-D.
I am also about to start working out again. I am not super overweight but I do have 30-40lbs to lose.
I do suspect that I will eventually be on high blood pressure meds (because of family history) but I am trying to do everything I can health-wise to avoid that.

I take a multivitamin and vitamin D supplement. I also take potassium pills. I get back calf cramps sometimes. I was taking vitamin C but wasn't seeing a difference. I've used melatonin but it really doesn't work as well for me the way others describe it. I get a little better sleep but not the amazing 8 hours of perfect sleep I have been told I should betting.
I also take one of those fat burner/appetite suppressing pills in the morning. They help with the urge to snack and have a bunch of caffeine. I'm a fat kid so it helps with weight control and gives me that extra boot in the morning..
Other than that, I try to stay away from prescription drugs. With things like opioid addictions, side effects from medications, and the whole vaccine thing, I try to only turn to meds and stuff as a last resort.
Fortunately, I don't take anything unusual except an extra high dose of vitamin D each day - pretty standard for living in the Midwest.
I have a lot of back problems, but have managed to avoid any prescription pain killers so far. I'll consider weed, which is now legal in my state, before I get into any of that. The hard part would be finding an employer that is cool with it. You can drink all night every night, but can't "smoke" at all - how messed up.
I'll be turning 40 in a few months so it is just a matter of time before I'll be taking handfuls of modern elixirs each day for blood sugar/pressure/cholesterol/etc.

Have had Type 2 diabetes for about 8 years and had a heart attack in 2019. In January of 2020 I did a vegan lifestyle change to help with the diabetes and to help keep my arteries clean. Lost about 80 lbs total in the process. Hoping to get off the Lipitor and MetFormin

That's some rough stuff. I'm glad to hear that you survived a heart attack, but sorry it happed in the first place. Sounds like you really turned your health around since then - way to go! I hope you are feeling really good these days.
My father-in-law had a heart attack about 20years ago. He hasn't had another since and is now pushing 80 years old. Proof that a heart attack can be overcome.

My grandmother did the same. She had her first heart attack on my wedding night at the reception after a few too many glasses of wine and some good ole Elvis Presley to dance to. Her ticker has been ticking fine since and that was 8.5 years ago.
