I have known Rob Kress RPh, since 2014 and he was the first pharmacist who was talking about functional pharmacy and the opportunity for pharmacists in functional medicine. Rob, graduated from Temple University School of Pharmacy in Philadelphia PA in 1994. After becoming disenchanted with chemical dominant based medical system, Robert took his passion for nutrition and became board certified in clinical nutrition through the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board, as well as trained as a compounding pharmacist through the Professional Compounding Centers of America.  

During this time, he opened his own compounding and nutritional clinic, which blossomed into a complete anti-aging clinic housing other integrative practitioners. Robert became a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, certified in Quantum Reflex Analysis, a practice of kinesiology, as well as have trained and certified in other modalities such as Reiki and auricular acupuncture, a primal health coach, a licensed yoga instructor, and most recently a certified @movnat instructor.  

Currently, Robert consults with both with patients to enhance their health through lifestyle medicine as well other practitioners to help integrate, promote and implement natural medicine in their practices. Robert also provides regular educational Wellness Workshops and writes regularly on the topic of lifestyle medicine and integrative care.  

Robert believes as pharmacists, we are offered the perfect opportunity to integrate natural medicine into our practices, as its core to the history of pharmacy. Patients are looking for natural solutions for their health, while practitioners are looking towards integrative care to help solve their clients problems and enhance their practices.

All over social media, we are seeing the hashtag #PizzaIsNotWorking, created by Bled Marchall Tanoe, PharmD, an Oklahoma pharmacist. It’s a catchphrase to show that pharmacy staff is not motivated by an occasional pizza party which seems to be the solution for under-staffing by the major retail chain pharmacies throughout the country. 

The Pharmacy Podcast Network has been supportive of the PINW movement since the beginning. If you're not already aware of PINW, please check it out.
