Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committees historically operated at the individual hospital level but have evolved into enterprise-wide governance programs due to health system expansion, unprecedented clinical and financial complexity of care, and the emergence of high impact and novel therapeutics. To address this, the Vizient Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence convened an expert panel that concluded health system enterprise P&T committees are uniquely positioned to balance clinical value with financial stewardship and minimize practice variation. They issued best practice considerations representing a dynamic framework designed to evolve alongside emerging therapies, evolving technologies, and the ongoing transformation of health systems. Joining us today are two members of the expert panel.

St. Luke's Health System, based in Boise, Idaho, has approached this mission by embedding clinical pharmacists in the specialty pharmacy space and using 340B as a critical tool. We speak with Josh Weber, senior director of ambulatory retail and specialty pharmacy services at St. Luke's, to learn more.How Clinical Pharmacists Can Be a “Value Multiplier”Embedding clinical pharmacists in their specialty pharmacies improves operations in myriad ways. These pharmacists can take the burden off other providers by meeting with patients to go over their drug regimens, coordinating care, and running split-fill programs to reduce waste. At St. Luke's, the approach has improved patient adherence to medications and reduced the time between the specialty prescription and the patient having the medication in hand to less than 48 hours – far quicker than the industry standard.340B Savings Are Key to the InvestmentWeber says cost savings from 340B are critical in calculating how they embed resources into specialty pharmacy, noting that improving adherence and retention can increase 340B savings exponentially. These savings then can enable health systems such as St. Luke's to reinvest in their internal specialty pharmacies, provide more patient cost assistance and unreimbursed care, and ultimately shield themselves from headwinds such as drugmaker contract pharmacy restrictions.Embedding Pharmacists Depends on Hospital-Specific FactorsFor hospitals considering following the lead of St. Luke's Health System, Weber said a variety of factors such as patient volume, payer mix, and drug spend can call for a variety of service models and investment strategies. Harnessing data such as heat maps showing where patients are and which clinics they visit can inform how best to embed pharmacists and ultimately improve specialty pharmacy care for patients.Resources:Drugmakers Release 340B Rebate Pilot Program DescriptionsHRSA 340B Rebate Model Pilot ProgramBeacon Rebate Model Resources

For Episode 90 of Astonishing Healthcare, Jim Winkler, Chief Strategy Officer at Business Group on Health, joins us in the studio for a lively discussion about the results of their 2026 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey! This annual study is packed with qualitative and quantitative information and highlights the top trends in employer-sponsored health care. Jim brings decades of experience to the table and puts helpful context around the headline data and employers' expectation for a ~9% year-over-year health care cost increase. He also shares his perspective on the evolution of the role benefits brokers and consultants play, how employers can navigate the rapidly evolving market and inflationary storm, vendor accountability, and how to position difficult decisions around making big changes. Discussion HighlightsCosts are expected to rise 9% in 2026, marking the worst multi-year surge in over a decade; it's another year of healthcare costs rising by more than benefits teams forecasted.Pharmacy's share of the total cost has jumped to 24%, driven by expensive GLP-1 and cancer drugs, and some other new cost drivers include mental health and autoimmune conditions.Proactive employers have been reviewing their data and are optimizing their programs, cutting underused solutions, investing where there's a tangible return, and tightening controls on high-cost treatments.Employers are aggressively scrutinizing partners and exploring alternative PBM and health plan models, as they should be (vendor accountability has become increasingly important over the years) - change is imminent (i.e., expect an acceleration of RFP activity).Additional Resources2025 Employer Well-being Strategy Survey: Executive SummaryBusiness Group on Health - Resources (Surveys, Data, etc.)Related ContentHow employers can take back control of unnecessary pharmacy spendingReplay - Strategic Well-Being: Rethinking Health Benefits to Empower Employees and Drive ImpactSigns it is time to change your PBM vendor, and how to overcome common hesitationsHealth Benefits 101: The Importance of a Transparent PBM ModelFor more content and information about this episode, including the show notes and transcript, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. https://pepties.com/partners/ Before we jump in, I want to quickly address a few comments I have received about the content here. Normally, I wouldn't spend time on something like this, but just for clarity — I have over nine years of formal education, including a Doctorate in Pharmacy, and sixteen years of clinical experience. That includes serving as an adjunct professor at a U.S. pharmacy school and working in oncology and inflammatory disease at a teaching hospital. And yes — for now, you just hear my voice, but that may change. I do plan to incorporate video in the future; I've simply held off because it takes significantly more time to produce, and my priority has been getting the education out to you consistently. Remember, the content is free and meant for education. If it's not for you, that's completely fine — you don't have to listen. It takes a lot of time and energy to put this together, and tuning in is entirely your choice. For my other listeners, thank you for your support and gratitude over the past few years. Now, today we're diving into a compound ATX‑304. It's often referred to as "exercise in a pill". And after we go through the science together you'll see why. We'll cover the back‑story, how it works, how it differs from typical mitochondrial supplements, animal and human data so far, who this may and may not be for — and importantly, what to watch out for.  The Backstory & Why It's Getting Attention ATX-304, was first developed in Sweden by Betagenon AB as a small-molecule AMPK activator designed to mimic the metabolic benefits of exercise and caloric restriction — with the goal of improving obesity, insulin resistance, and overall metabolic health. Early preclinical work in obese and diabetic mice showed impressive results, including better glucose uptake, enhanced fat-burning, improved insulin sensitivity, and even cardiovascular benefits. Human data followed in 2016–2017, where people with type 2 diabetes already on metformin took ATX-304 for about 28 days. Those studies showed reductions in fasting and plasma glucose, improved insulin resistance, and strong safety and tolerability. Today, Betagenon has evolved into Amplifier Therapeutics, and ATX-304 is now in Phase 2 development for metabolic, cardiovascular, and liver-related conditions, with ongoing work to refine oral delivery and broaden its potential uses. What exactly does AMPK do? Think of AMPK as a fuel gauge for your cells. When your cells are running low on energy (like when you haven't eaten, exercised, or your cells are stressed), AMPK turns on. When it's on, it tells the cell to stop storing energy (less fat and cholesterol production), start using energy (burn sugar and fat for fuel), and clean up damaged parts (autophagy, or cellular housekeeping). Basically, AMPK flips the switch from "energy saving" mode to "energy spending" mode, similar to how your body behaves during exercise or fasting. If AMPK is off or underactive, your cells tend to store energy instead of using it, which contributes to weight gain, insulin resistance, and low metabolic activity. So, activating AMPK — like with ATX‑304 — is like giving your body a nudge to burn energy, improve metabolism, and clean up the cells, even without intense exercise. And beyond just turning on AMPK, ATX‑304 also acts as a mild mitochondrial activator, meaning it helps the cell's "power plants" (mitochondria) run more optimally, increasing energy expenditure.  Because of this mechanism, ATX‑304 is sometimes called an "exercise mimetic." Even though it's not a substitute for movement, it triggers many of the same downstream pathways. How It Differs From Mitochondrial "Supplements" There are many supplements out there that claim "boost mitochondria" (e.g., PQQ, CoQ10, NAD precursors). These may support mitochondrial health or function, but typically they don't change the body's energy‑balance set‑point or shift you into a state of enhanced energy usage. ATX‑304, however, directly activates AMPK (the master switch) and supports mitochondrial output — so you get signaling plus hardware improvement. This dual action is what sets ATX‑304 apart.  Also: many mitochondrial supplements lack robust human metabolic‑dysfunction data; ATX‑304 has animal + early human trial data. What About Safety? In human trials (~28 days, T2D patients on metformin) ATX‑304 was safe, well tolerated, lowered fasting plasma glucose and insulin resistance. But because it's still early stage, long‑term safety and outcomes (fat‑loss, muscle preservation beyond short term, cardiovascular endpoints) are not fully proven yet. One of the most exciting things about ATX‑304 is that it encourages the body to burn fat while sparing lean muscle. Because AMPK activation improves muscle glucose uptake and mitochondrial efficiency, your body can preferentially use fat for energy instead of breaking down muscle. Preclinical and early human studies suggest it can reduce fat mass while preserving muscle, which makes it especially interesting for anyone transitioning off GLP‑1 therapies or looking to maintain muscle while losing fat. Practical Dosing in Wellness Context Some peptide clinics use ATX‑304 in doses ranging from 100 to 400 mg a day. It usually comes in 100 mg or 200 mg capsules, and people often take it in the morning to match the body's peak metabolic activity. Cost The last thing I want to discuss is cost. ATX‑304 is currently quite expensive, and there are a few reasons for that. Only a handful of companies manufacture it, so production volumes are small. The synthesis is complex, and the supply chain for key precursors is limited. Since it's still in early development (Phase 2), economies of scale haven't been established yet.  Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.  If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Redmond, PharmD, PhD, and founder of Dr. Stephanie's, to explore how pharmacology is transforming the world of supplements and functional medicine. With dual expertise in endocrinology and pharmacotherapy, Dr. Redmond offers a rare perspective on how medications, nutrients, and hormones intersect — and how precision-based formulation is reshaping metabolic health.After years in clinical practice, Dr. Redmond noticed a glaring gap: most supplements on the market are underdosed, underperforming, and poorly understood. Her approach flips the script — using clinically validated, therapeutic dosesof ingredients designed for real efficacy and safety. “It's not about marketing,” she explains. “It's about measurable results.”The conversation dives deep into her breakthrough innovations, including Purify Colostrum, developed using AI-assisted filtration to isolate bioactive glycoproteins compatible with the human body — delivering seven times more anti-inflammatory power than standard colostrum. She also shares insights on her GLP-1 support formulations, designed to complement popular medications like Ozempic by addressing nutrient depletion, digestion, and hormonal balance.Together, Dr. Ekta and Dr. Redmond unpack what ethical, evidence-based supplementation truly looks like — where pharmacology meets function, and science replaces hype.Tune in to hear how Dr. Stephanie Redmond is redefining modern supplementation and why, in today's world, foundational nutrition is no longer optional — it's essential.Learn more about Dr. Stephanie's on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Dr. Redmond's Path from Pharmacy to Endocrinology2:18 – Bridging Medicine, Supplements & Pharmacology4:43 – The Role of Pharmacists in Holistic Care7:09 – The Gap in Supplement Education & Dosing8:58 – Colostrum: Nature's “First Milk” Explained11:05 – Human vs. Bovine Colostrum & Compatibility14:44 – Postpartum, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health19:01 – GLP-1 Support Supplements & Metabolic Health27:27 – The Future of Foundational Wellness & Supplement TestingPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

He explains the critical difference between a PBM that claims to be “transparent” and one that is a true fiduciary, contractually bound to act in your best interest.

Between new developments on a rebate pilot program, discussions of possible cuts to Medicare payment for 340B drugs, and new action in states nationwide, this fall has been a jam-packed season for 340B. We sit down with 340B Health President and CEO Maureen Testoni to break down the latest.Questions Remain About January's 340B Rebate Pilot After the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) released 340B rebate pilot program guidance over the summer, all nine manufacturers of the 10 drugs subject to Medicare price caps applied to HRSA to implement rebates for the drugs starting in January. Testoni says we expect to find out which plans are approved in early November, as drugmakers need to give eight weeks of notice so covered entities can prepare for the change. Testoni says questions remain about the rebate pilot, but information that the drugmakers' rebate vendor has released so far provides enough detail for hospitals to start preparing for both rebates and price caps.Potential Medicare Cuts Expected To Target 340B HospitalsEarlier this year, the Trump administration released an executive order directing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to survey hospitals on drug acquisition costs with the goal of using the results to set payment rates for Medicare Part B drugs starting in 2027. Testoni says she is concerned the proposed survey will lead to CMS targeting only 340B drugs for cuts that could bring payment rates down to actual acquisition costs, which would be a steeper cut than what the agency imposed during the first Trump administration.States Keep Moving on Contract Pharmacy Protections, 340B MandatesNearly 20 states have contract pharmacy protection laws in place and a small number of drugmakers have sued to block all these statutes. But Testoni says so far, courts have denied those requests and the laws have stayed in effect despite significant opposition advocacy by drugmakers. An increasing number of states also have enacted laws requiring 340B hospitals to report substantial data on their 340B costs and savings, and some are looking to limit how hospitals can use those savings.Resources:Senate Hearing Features Both Bipartisan Support for 340B and Calls for ReformsRead Our Comments on CBO's 340B Growth ReportReview Our 340B Rebate Pilot and IRA ResourcesBeacon Shares New Details on 340B Rebate Pilot Implementation

In part 1 of the Cardiometabolic Rx podcast, host Emma Sutherland is joined by Dr Adrian Lopresti, Dr Michelle Woolhouse, Lisa Costa-Bir, and Mick Alexander for a wide-ranging discussion on the foundations of cardiometabolic health. Together, they explore how individualised nutrition, hormonal balance, stress adaptation, and muscle and bone integrity as well as kidney health influence metabolic outcomes, emphasising why truly integrative care must extend beyond BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure checks. The panel shares the latest evidence on emerging assessment tools - including continuous glucose monitoring, homocysteine and trimethyl amine and oxide (TMAO) testing, and the body roundness index and how these measures can reveal early signs of dysfunction before overt disease develops. In an engaging exchange of clinical perspectives, the ambassadors uncover the “silent hijackers” of cardiometabolic health such as poor sleep, loneliness, medications, and gut dysbiosis. This thought-provoking discussion challenges long-held assumptions and equips practitioners with practical, evidence-based strategies to assess and address cardiometabolic risk at every stage of patient care.

In this episode, I sit down with homeopath Yan Yamamoto, whose path began in pharmacy school and led her deep into the intelligence of nature. Yan shares how studying plants, witnessing the limits of conventional care, and listening closely to her clients reshaped the way she supports people in even the direst medical situations. We talk about the role of the vital force, the subtle micro-expressions she watches for, and how she approaches cases others have deemed hopeless. Yan also opens up about the personal adventures and teachers who helped her understand healing from the inside out, giving us a glimpse of the heart behind her work. Episode Highlights: 04:57 - Yan's Journey into Homeopathy 10:19 - Exploring Crystal Healing 15:09 - Integrating Various Healing Modalities 17:21 - Understanding Micro Expressions in Clients 21:03 - Overview of Yan's Upcoming Course 27:22 - Potency and Remedy Selection in Acute Cases 34:43 - Using Potency Chords in Homeopathy 36:28 - The Role of Pink Rose Remedy 38:13 - Exploring Soul Constitutions 44:09 - Navigating Past Life and Ancestral Trauma 47:47 - Safe Practices in Healing and Client Care 54:00 - Healing Retreat on Sacred Tribal Land About my Guests: Yan (Diane) Yamamoto Ouadfel is the founder of True Jewel Wellness Homeopathy and Yan's Rainbow Essence. From a young age, she felt a deep connection to the unseen healing intelligence within nature. She pursued her early passion for science at Purdue University, earning her Bachelor of Pharmacy Science in 1988 and Doctor of Pharmacy in 1989, followed by a residency and fellowship at USC–LA County. Her work in a pharmacognosy lab opened her eyes to the natural origins of many medicines, and during her pharmacy career—particularly while specializing in HIV/AIDS care—she increasingly recognized that true healing extends beyond pharmaceuticals alone. Guided by intuition and curiosity, Yan expanded her studies into vibrational medicine. She became an Advanced Crystal Healer through The Crystal Academy in 2005 and continued studying energy and vibrational healing at the RMA Mystery School. After discovering Ambika Wauters' Color and Sound book in a library, she pursued formal homeopathic training, graduating in 2017 from the American Medical College of Homeopathy @ PIHMA in Phoenix, Arizona. She has continued to deepen her skills through advanced learning in Tanzania with Jeremy and Camilla Sherr, as well as Qi Gong and Qi Gong Sound Healing with Jeff Primack and Master Mingtong Gu. She is also a contributing author in The Inner Circle Chronicles – Book 4, guided by her intuitive mentor Anne Deidre. Yan began her private practice in 2014 and has lovingly supported her clients ever since.
