Change is inevitable because it is allied with TIME, an irresistible force.

We all have areas in our life that we want to change or improve, but sometimes we can feel like it’s an “all or nothing” decision- that if we want THIS, we can’t have any of THAT. Fitness and pharmacy, for example, is one of those dichotomies that many in our profession feel is NOT a co-existable relationship- that if you want to be a successful pharmacist, you can kiss your fitness goodbye. OR if you are pursuing pharmacy, you can have your fitness, but say goodbye to a successful career. L-O-L!

I am so excited to introduce you all to today’s guest, who completely shatters this as she has ranked as a top professional in BOTH the fitness AND pharmacy arena, Dr. Aria Adamy, who is both a successful doctor of pharmacy and IFBB Bikini Pro. She is a BPS Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP) Candidate, having graduated from State University of New York at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2005.

Main Points From this Podcast:

- How to incorporate fitness into pharmacy

- Why it’s NEVER “too late” to get into fitness

- Using your struggle as your strength to inspire others to do the same

- The power of having a passion outside of pharmacy

- Growing your pharmacy career as a process as you progress

Looking to change your negative workplace environment without having to leave? If you want to create a POSITIVE workplace, then this podcast is for YOU!

“When you stop talking about what you don’t want, and start talking about what you DO want, the words change, so the vibes change.”

This simple shift in raising your vibration- that is, putting out good vibes- is what sets the tone to allowing you to focus on what serves you to take action in creating the life you want. The hands-down EXPERT on this very topic is today’s special guest, Michael Losier, author of the best-selling books "Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't", and "Law of Connection: The Science of Using NLP to Create Ideal Personal and Professional Relationships".

Michael caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey, who interviewed him four times on her Soul Series™ radio show on Sirius/XM satellite radio. Michael went on to enjoy a year-long run hosting his own radio show on Oprah & Friends™ radio. Michael’s second book, "Law of Connection", was published in 2009 and quickly became another best seller. This book caught the attention of the business community, who learned new ways of connecting with employees, co-workers and family, both at work and at home. Michael’s “how-to” style teaches how to create better connections with the people in our lives.

Michael’s third book, "Your Life’s Purpose: Uncover What Really Fulfills You", helps the reader and student get more clarity about their life’s purpose AND most importantly, what they need to be experiencing to live their life’s purpose. Michael is so passionate about teaching that he travels the world sharing his insight into Law of Attraction, delivering hundreds of hours of TeleClasses, podcasts, workshops and seminars every year. His YouTube videos have millions of views, and his new live weekly Internet show, Hang Out With Michael, allows him to connect with fans of Law of Attraction in an exciting way.

Fear, hurt, anger, frustration, disappointment, guilt, helpless, alone, and inadequate- these are the 9 negative emotions we all can relate to at one time or another in our lives. Negative- but positive in their purpose.

Yes, it’s true: every negative emotion exists to SERVE you! It may not feel like it’s a good thing at first, but I want to challenge you to look at them differently: if you view every negative emotion as a positive message to HELP you, imagine how much richness your life will have!

Each and every negative emotion boils down to one main concept: you need to change something – that “something” being one of two things: either your perception, or what you are actually doing. In this podcast, I break down each one, what it means, how to break out of the negative space, and what you can learn from it to grow through what you go through.

The MOST important asset you can grow as a healthcare professional hinges on strong and healthy relationships- those you not only have with your patients, but also with your colleagues, which includes professionals outside of your own scope of practice.

I created The Fit Pharmacist Healthcare podcast to have a place to share what I have found to be essential skills and tips for helping you grow professionally- not just network, but also empower you to effectively practice pharmacy with other members of the healthcare team.

One of those key professions being physician assistants! Who better to share insight into the world of PA-Cs than Stephen Benton, AKA @PageThePA on Instagram. He is a newly minted PA coming to you fresh out of school in Atlanta, GA. A Colorado native at heart, Stephen graduated from Emory University's PA program with his Master’s in Medical Sciences. Right out of school, Stephen secured a high-performance critical care job working in the ICU caring for the sickest and most critically-ill patients in the heart of Atlanta. Prior to PA school, he worked as a EMT on the ambulance service, as a Trauma Technician in the Emergency Department, and spent time in Central America volunteering and learning about Latino culture.While in school, Stephen created a social media channel to help advocate for and educate others about the PA profession, show a behind-the-curtains look at life as a PA student/new-grad PA, and offer his own personal spin and perspective on the continually evolving world of medicine through photography, writing, and video production. His goals for the future include providing great medical care, empathy, and love for all beings who might need it.

“I am not enough.”

This is THE most common limiting belief and negative self-talk experienced by humans across the board, whether you are a student, pharmacist, or big shot executive. It may come in different “flavors” (not enough money… not enough experience… not enough degrees… etc.), but it all boils down to us feeling disconnected from our goals.

*WARNING: we go DEEP in this podcast- the way to overcome our negative thoughts is not to ignore them, but to FACE them. If you are facing hardship, this episode is a MUST LISTEN!

The way out is through, so we hope you enjoy this episode as we share how to GROW through what you GO through, and overcome the most common limiting belief.

“You eat how you live.”

When it comes to the busy rush-rush hustle we all seem to be living, does that statement resonate with your eating habits? It may sound so simple, but we as a society we seem to always be looking for the next “big thing”, the “best” diet plan to get us where we want to go- faster- and with less effort than we want to invest.

In this episode, I am joined with Dr. Joe Klemczewski, who shares his decades of experience in the nutrition and fitness industry to go over the most popular diets, why the always fail, and where we are headed with our quest for nutrition success.
