Supplements 101: Science and Self-Care with Aaron McDonough, PharmD

I cannot keep this to myself any longer - I have been holding onto this episode, sharing only with my clients, while also trial-running a personalized supplement regimen from Aaron. It is working! I will do a follow-up episode soon to share my findings.  

In this episode of Your Wise Self with Sara, I sit down with pharmacist Aaron McDonough to explore the science and self-care behind supplements. Aaron shares his unique journey from working in his father’s traditional community pharmacy to creating a holistic wellness apothecary that blends functional medicine with conventional care.

We dive into:

  • Why a personalized approach to supplements matters
  • Addressing nutrient deficiencies and the role of methylated vitamins (especially for ADHD and MTHFR gene mutations)
  • The rising demand for compounded medications
  • How lab testing can reveal hidden imbalances in hormones, gut health, and micronutrients
  • Practical ways to empower yourself in making informed health decisions

This conversation is packed with insight for anyone curious about supplements, holistic pharmacy practices, and how personalized medicine can help you feel your best.

👉 If you found this helpful, share the episode with a friend, and don’t forget to follow Your Wise Self with Sara for more conversations on wellbeing and wisdom.
