March 22, 2018 Levothyroxine Pharmacology – RLP Episode 007
In this episode, I talk about levothyroxine pharmacology and how it is one of the most commonly prescribed medications. Levothyroxine gets converted from T4 to T3 in the body.
I also talk about some of the side effects that are encountered if we oversupplement as well as what we look for as far as lab work goes.
Drug interactions are important with levothyroxine and I do discuss this as well as mention a couple of really common medications that can cause issues with thyroid hormone.

March 08, 2018 Statin Pharmacology Episode 005
In this episode, I talk about the most commonly used statins. In my practice I see simvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pravastatin used most frequent.
In addition, I also discuss why statins are dosed at night, possible side effects, and important drug interactions.
Statins can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack. I mentioned cvriskcalculator.com on the podcast and wanted to give that link to you.
