The Integrated Pharmacist Podcast

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  Here's just a short episode to tell you my hopes for the next year.

This episode discusses the use of enzymes to support digestion which can lead to healthier outcomes for patients.

Transcript can be found at: https://integratedpharmacist.blogspot.com/2019/11/enzyme-therapy.html

I discuss a rat study that indicates further research in humans for the use of juniper oil to benefit transplant patients on tacrolimus.

This is part two of our student interview series from the APhA-ASP MRM Region 8.  In this episode, I interview Noveleen Thiara from the University of the Pacific and Megan Meharry from Loma Linda University.  We discuss what it means to be an integrated pharmacist and what their thoughts on complementary and alternative medicines are.  

We should be back to regular episodes next week, so please stay tuned!

A little different than the usual, I interview some students from APhA-ASP MRM Region 8 meeting about what it means to be an integrated pharmacist.

This episode is a little off the cuff.  I ramble a bit about the purpose of this podcast and what it means to be the Integrated Pharmacist.

This episode adds to episode 2 acupuncture.  Some people use mild electricity instead of needles!

Diet is an important part of human health.  What we eat can really make a difference in how we feel.  Today, I talk about a trial based on just one food product.

We're doing things a little bit differently this week.  I do apologize for variation in audio quality, but the trade off is that we get to hear from 2 other experts in the field.  I am accompanied by Dr. Pam Tarlow and Dr. Swathi Varanasi to discuss cannabinoid therapy.  Dr. Tarlow is the residency director for an Integrative Pharmacy Residency in Santa Monica, CA, and Dr. Varanasi is her first resident!   

Integrative Health Pharmacy Residency (IHPRx) Program Director, Dr. Pam Tarlow, and her inaugural resident, Dr. Swathi Varanasi, would like to know what they can do to help you.  What would you like to learn about natural medicines? Please contact them with any questions and/or suggestions at [email protected]. Any The Integrated Pharmacist Podcast listener who emails them will receive a resource designed by them to improve medication therapy management! Additional information about their services and expertise can be found on www.pharmsupplement.com.
