About My Guest:

My guest for this episode is Beth Shirley. Beth Shirley, RPh, CCN, developed an expertise as a compounding pharmacist and board-certified clinical nutritionist during a career spanning over 40 years. She has been a pioneer at the cutting edge of the evolution of what has now come to be known as "Integrative Pharmacy", the junction between traditional pharmacy and the clinical use of nutritional supplementation. Since 2009, Beth has spent time working with some of the leading thought leaders in the world of nitric oxide research and through this has developed an in-depth knowledge of the topic and its potential applications in patient care. In addition, she has worked closely with the scientific community and cutting-edge companies working on innovative nutritional ingredients and approaches for their use in a variety of life's challenges. In fact, Beth has formulated a product that was awarded the first patent on a supplement to "increase sexual desire and pleasure". She currently is the Director of Education and Research for Approved Medical Solutions, the distributor of her oxalate-free nitrate product and her Libby line of women's wellness products.
