  The Breggin Hour Health, Lifestyle, The Breggin Hour https://mega.nz/file/ssYxVKbb#udRyxCNQSvR3ZZC70Dlsj_N0ct1I43isH-6xWra1wxc   Dr. Lynn Lafferty grew up around her two grandmothers, both farmers, learning lessons that helped chart the course in her life decades later. Some family stories had a lifelong impact. One great-grandmother was the local healer in her small rural community. When the Spanish Flu erupted, she used an elixir of elderberries and alcohol to treat 20 community members who fell ill with that dread disease. Not a single patient died. Lynn reports that no one in her extended family fell ill from that disease, and attributes their resistance to the nightly dose of elderberry elixir for all family members, which was a family ritual. Dr. Lafferty is an endowed professor at Nova Southeastern University, teaching pharmacy and medical students. She attributes her career choice to influences from her grandmothers, who inspired her direction in life. The life lessons she learned also drove her to seek rational solutions to the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it broke out, causing COVID in 2020. Challenges in Medical Education Dr Lafferty highlighted her concerns about the lack of education on essential nutrients and the influence of hospital protocols over resident physicians. She described a concerning mindset among psychiatry residents who expressed fear of harming patients with prescribed drugs, despite their extensive training and financial investment. Dr. Lafferty also recounted a personal experience involving her brother's inadequate medical care, emphasizing the limitations imposed by hospital protocols and the lack of knowledge about basic treatments like magnesium deficiency. Truth and Love's Transformative Power The Breggins discussed with Dr. Lafferty her experience speaking truthfully about healthcare issues, including her confrontation with a dean over her statements about Lipitor's side effects. She expressed her commitment to speaking the truth and her belief that she is on a mission. Dr. Breggin and Ginger Breggin also confirmed their personal sense of being called to do their work. Authoritarian Control in Medical Progress Peter and Lynn discussed the impact of authoritarian control over medical institutions, highlighting how innovative doctors are being suppressed, which hampers progress in medicine and patient care. Pharmacists vs. Physicians: Education Gaps Dr. Breggin and Dr. Lafferty also examined differences between primary care doctors and pharmacists, Dr. Lafferty declaring that pharmacists are more science-based and less authoritarian than medical doctors. They highlighted how medical students receive limited pharmacology training compared to the comprehensive education received in the past. Therapy, Medication, and Scientific Reasoning Dr. Breggin raised the issue of the importance of therapy over medication for psychiatric and psychological issues and the potential benefits of pharmacists working with psychiatrists to monitor psychiatric drug side effects. Listening to the patient who is sitting in front of you and looking beyond the latest big pharmaceutical options were two important highlights that came out of the conversation. Seeking treatments with the least potential for harm and understanding the range of treatments available in the natural world of foods and supplements were also emphasized. Dr. Lafferty can be found at her website. She offers courses, some free. Her newest training is a 10-session course, held once a week, that gives a basic understanding of how to take care of yourself and your family best. Participants review body systems, how they work, and foods, herbs, and supplements that can help the body return to balance.       ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

In this episode, I circle back to a classic question:What do you wish you'd known when you started your podcast that you know now?This is a question I've asked in the past (shout-out to episode 768 back in 2021!), and while I received close to 20 answers then, participation was a bit lighter this time around.

With Felix Lindberg, Karolinska Institute & Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm - Sweden, Martha Kyriakou, European University of Cyprus, Nicosia - Cyprus and Maggie Simpson, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh - UK. In this episode, Felix Lindberg, Martha Kyriakou, and Maggie Simpson discuss multidisciplinary care in heart failure, exploring why HF complexity and multimorbidity make coordinated, team-based management essential.

This is the 68th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide Journavx and suzetrigine into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. Special thanks to Kelly Glynn at Vertex Pharmaceuticals for nominating Journavx for this episode.   Note: we don't cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations.   Journavx = jur-NAV-ix jur, like Journey (Bringing Journavx to market was a long journey ~27 years.) NAV, which is the name of the voltage-gated sodium channel that Journavx blocks. Journavx blocks NAV 1.8. ix, like "fix." Emphasize NAV. The written pronunciation came from tweaking the written pronunciation in the Patient Information section of the prescribing information for Journavx (accessed 11-25-2025).  My source for the spoken pronunciation is journavx.com. Click the small *speaker* symbol next to the word "Journavx" on the landing page to hear the pronunciation. As an alternative, listen to the videos on journavx.com and journavxhcp.com (accessed 11-25-25).   Suzetrigine = soo-ZE-tri-jeen soo, as in Journavx soothes pain ZE,  like zest tri, like trigger jeen, like the word "gene" (as in genetic) Emphasize the second syllable, "ZE."  My source for the written pronunciation is the American Medical Association's website. Special thanks to Simran at Vertex Pharmaceuticals Global Medical Information Department for helping me find the written pronunciation!  The spoken pronunciation of suzetrigine can be heard in the MOA video on journavxhcp.com (accessed 11-25-25).   If you know someone who would like to learn how to say Journavx or suzetrigine, please share this episode with them.

In this episode of The Pediatric Pharmacist Review, we explore the phenomenon of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and its relevance to children, adolescents, and families. Our guest, Tim Horton, is a seasoned psychiatric nurse‑practitioner (APRN, CNP) and founder of PeopleFirst Clinic in Woodbury, Minnesota, where he specializes in holistic, medication‑management and therapy‑integrated care for youth and adults. With his unique background in pediatric mental health, patient‑centered approaches, and collaborative provider work, Tim brings deep insight into how biological and environmental factors converge in seasonal depression—and what practical actions caregivers and clinicians can take to mitigate its impact. Key Discussion Points: Biological & Environmental Contributors: We unpack how changes in daylight exposure, circadian rhythm shifts, neurotransmitter variations (serotonin, melatonin), and geographic/seasonal factors contribute to SAD in children and teens. Lifestyle & Environmental Interventions: Tim and I discuss actionable strategies such as structured light‑exposure (dawn simulators, 10,000 lux boxes), daily outdoor activity, consistent sleep schedules, and nutritional supports (timing of meals, nutrient‑dense foods, healthy fats) to reduce symptom severity. Treatment Options & Efficacy: We review standard of care for SAD—starting with behavioral and lifestyle measures, then progressing to light therapy and pharmacologic treatment (SSRIs, SNRIs, augmentation) when needed, including considerations unique to pediatric populations. Vitamin D and Seasonal Depression: We examine the evidence linking vitamin D deficiency with increased SAD risk, discuss screening thresholds in younger patients, supplementation strategies, and how this fits into a broader preventive mindset. Preventive Measures Ahead of Winter: Tim outlines a pre‑winter readiness plan—adjusting indoor lighting, optimizing outdoor daylight exposure, establishing routine exercise, reinforcing healthy diet patterns, and monitoring early warning signs for a proactive response. Misconceptions and Under‑Recognition: We address common myths—such as SAD only occurring in extreme northern latitudes, or that “it's just the blues” and will self‑resolve—highlighting how under‑recognition in pediatric settings can delay helpful intervention.

This episode explores why ASHP's Council on Public Policy has taken a fresh approach to a longstanding question: how should pharmacists be reimbursed for cognitive services? Joining the conversation are the council's secretary and a former member who is also a health-system leader. They break down the newly adopted Policy 2506, Payment Parity for Pharmacists' Services, discuss what it aims to accomplish for practicing pharmacists, and examine the broader implications if progress is achieved. The episode unpacks why policy language matters, traces the evolution of ASHP's stance on pharmacist payment parity, and explores how the new policy could help advance this critical issue.

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

On this episode of MaternalRx on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, host Dr. Danielle Raiman Plummer, PharmD, consulting pharmacist, sits down with Mary Kucek, PMP, and Dr. Devin Bustin, MD, co-founders of OvaryIt, creators of the PRISM EHR platform and the OvaryIt Foundation for survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. Mary shares her powerful and life-threatening experience with a telemedicine platform that failed to follow contraceptive safety guidelines, an event that changed the course of her career and mission. Together, Mary and Dr. Bustin explain how their NIH-funded research led to the creation of OvaryIt and PRISM: an innovative, pharmacist-centered platform that bridges the safety of in-person care with the accessibility of telehealth. Tune in to hear how retail pharmacists can now lead the next evolution in family planning access, overcoming the barriers to scaling these services, and how technology and policy can empower safer, more equitable reproductive care for all. “Prism will help retail pharmacies become public health access points for central health services.” 

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!
