This is the 73rd episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide hydrochlorothiazide into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, list my sources, and introduce some bonus topics: one pronunciation variation and two abbreviations.    Why did I pick hydrochlorothiazide for this episode? It is frequently prescribed. It's a long, intimidating drug name. It is found in combination with other blood pressure medications. It's a drug name in my pronunciation course, which ends in December 2026.    There are still more than 50 drug names in the course that have not been part of the pronunciation series. It is my goal to include all 50+ in the drug pronunciation series eventually.    ❌ We don't cover pharmacology in this series.

THYE gets the most emphasis.  Written pronunciation source: MedlinePlus.gov  Spoken pronunciation example: Tony PharmD HCTZ pronunciation (YouTube)   Pronunciation Variation As an Ohio Pharmacist, I tend to say HYE-droe-KLOR-uh-THYE-a-zide instead of HYE-droe-KLOR-oh-THYE-a-zide. They sound VERY similar. The difference is "uh" vs "oh." Either spoken pronunciation will pass as correct.

Aging Well With Pharmacist Ben Hair Loss Calls, the Triangle of Disease, and the Coffee Shop Interview Philosophy with Tom Chenault Pharmacist Ben Fuchs takes calls on hair loss, thyroid health and dental implants before welcoming longtime friend Tom Chenault, the network marketer and author of The Coffee Shop Interview, to discuss sobriety, personal development and building genuine relationships in business. Beyond Tangy Tangerine and a Big Preview Pharmacist Ben opens the hour thanking what he calls the Pharmacist Ben Singers for an AI-built intro song, then settles into his usual rhythm, joking that he talks so much on Zoom calls and podcasts that even he gets tired of his own voice. He gives out the call-in number, 888-627-6008, and tells listeners he has spent forty years learning to look at the body in a way he calls unique and effective. He pitches Beyond Tangy Tangerine, the Youngevity powder he has taken for thirty years, saying he could not look at himself in the mirror if he did not tell people about it. Ben explains why he loves network marketing as a business model, low-cost to enter at four or five hundred dollars, or thirty dollars for wholesale pricing, and previews the coming half hour with his friend Tom Chenault, plus a Sunday mental-health talk in Lone Tree that Tom is sponsoring. Joni and Joan Call In The first caller, Joni, phones in from Massachusetts after receiving one of Ben's emails, telling him she has listened for about three months and that her late mother, who died in 2018, loved the show for years before that. Touched, Ben invites her to email her mailing address to ben@formulationsciencellc.com for a gift. The next caller, Joan, asks about her own hair loss, and Ben explains that hair is governed by hormones working together: estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and insulin. He describes his root-not-fruit philosophy, insisting that health problems must be traced to their source rather than treated at the surface, and tells Joan to start a free food diary from pharmacistben.com to find foods that cause bloating. He walks her through dosing Beyond Tangy Tangerine by taste rather than by directions, sipping it in water throughout the day, and asks her to call back the following Monday to report her progress. Douglas, Berna and Donna Round Out the Calls Douglas calls next from Jacksonville, Florida, explaining he first heard of the show through Dr. Wallach on Coast to Coast AM and, at sixty-nine, is listening purely to learn rather than to ask a question. Berna calls from Fort Lauderdale, a Youngevity representative of twelve years, asking about her own thinning hair; Ben coins what he calls the Four Hormone Horsemen of Hair Loss, blood sugar, estrogen, testosterone and cortisol, and recommends FucoidZ, Ultimate EFAs, Ocean's Gold and Plant Derived Minerals while describing his triangle of disease, the digestive system and blood sugar system beneath the adrenal glands and thyroid. He previews Wednesday's guest, TMR shake formulator Stan Denniston. Finally Donna, calling from Orlando and originally from Poland, asks whether dental implants are wise at their age; Ben recommends Youngevity's Healthy Bone and Joint Pack before and after surgery and Ultimate Enzymes to reduce swelling, adding that root canals may carry some connection to heart health worth researching. Tom Chenault Joins to Talk Network Marketing With time running short on caller questions, Ben brings on his old friend Tom Chenault, calling him Youngevity's top networker and a gifted network marketer. Tom points to a photo of himself as a homeless man behind him, noting he will mark thirty-eight years of sobriety the next day, and credits network marketing with giving him what he calls the greatest life of anyone he knows. He warns that artificial intelligence threatens nearly every profession except genuine human relationships, and argues that success in the business requires falling in love with people, discovering what is missing in their lives, and helping solve it without a personal agenda. He plugs his book, The Coffee Shop Interview, urging listeners to buy it as a cheap PDF from thecoffeeshopinterview.com rather than pay eight dollars for it on Amazon, and Ben notes that Tom and his wife Denice have been married twenty-seven years. Belonging, Love, Trust and Safety Ben and Tom turn to personal development, with Tom comparing network marketing to Landmark Education, Tony Robbins seminars or Bible study, arguing the same growth applies with a compensation plan attached. He describes a breakthrough from the day before, after a lecture by what he calls a crazy priest made him confront the pain his divorce caused his young children years earlier. Tom distills success into four components he jokingly calls BLTS: belonging, love, trust and safety, saying people who feel all four from someone will do anything for and with them. Ben connects the idea to the nervous system, noting most people live in chronic fight-or-flight, and that offering someone a moment of calm is really an act of love. The two also mention studying Eric Worre's book Pro Code together daily at noon Mountain time on Facebook, treating it as a serious textbook for building the business. Chenault's Health Results and Weekend Plans Tom, now seventy-five, describes wearing a Hume band that reads his biological age as fifty-five against his chronological seventy-five, crediting his results to Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.5, the TMR shake with banana and almond milk, and cutting out fried food, gluten and sugar, while logging over twelve thousand steps and nine hours of sleep most days. He praises the patience of the Youngevity staff in San Diego and healthcare professionals like Dr. Laura Dennison and Dr. Singletary who support representatives. Tom previews the coming weekend, a Saturday Zoom on rheumatoid arthritis with Cheryl Morley, Steve and Michelle Wallach and Louise Adrian, and a Sunday event in South Denver where Ben will speak on the history of nutrition and Dr. Wallach's message. Ben thanks Tom warmly, calling him a beautiful human being, and closes the broadcast by thanking producer Douglas Newsom, who signs off praising the calls.

Read transcriptLIVE from ILADS: Tick Boot Camp sits down with David W. Kazarian, RPh, pharmacist and founder of Infuserve America, for a focused conversation recorded in person at the ILADS Annual Scientific Conference. In this short-form conference interview, Kazarian explores how compounding pharmacy can give practitioners additional options for Lyme disease and tick-borne illness patients dealing with medication sensitivities, reactions to fillers and excipients, alpha-gal syndrome, absorption challenges, and other complexities. With decades of experience working with the Lyme community, he explains why changing the formulation of a medication — not just the active ingredient — can sometimes become an important part of individualized care. This interview was recorded live on the conference floor, so you may hear some of the energy and background activity of ILADS throughout the conversation. What Is Compounding Pharmacy? Kazarian describes compounding as both a science and an art. Commercial medications generally come with predetermined doses, capsules, fillers, dyes, and delivery methods. Compounding gives a pharmacist, working with a prescribing practitioner, the ability to customize certain aspects of a medication for an individual patient's needs. Depending on the prescription and patient, that can include changes to: Medication strength or dosage Fillers and excipients Capsule materials Carrier oils Route of administration Release characteristics Topical or oral formulations Sterile or non-sterile preparations For people navigating complex Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, those details may become particularly important when medication sensitivities develop or change over time. Excipients, Fillers & Medication Sensitivities One of the most important topics in this conversation is excipients — ingredients in a medication other than its primary active pharmaceutical ingredient. Kazarian discusses patients who may have difficulty tolerating ingredients such as dyes, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, gelatin capsules, certain carrier oils, animal-derived ingredients, and other fillers. For a highly sensitive patient, the question may therefore extend beyond "Can I tolerate this medication?" to "Can I tolerate this particular formulation of the medication?" A compounding pharmacist may be able to work with the prescribing practitioner to explore alternative formulations when appropriate. Alpha-Gal Syndrome & Animal-Derived Ingredients The conversation also explores alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-associated allergy that can make mammalian-derived ingredients problematic for some patients. Kazarian uses capsules as one example. Traditional gelatin capsules may contain animal-derived materials, while alternative formulations can use vegetable-based capsules. He also discusses carrier oils and other excipients, including MCT, almond, and olive oils, illustrating how even the inactive components of a medication may need to be considered for an individual patient. For people experiencing unexplained new sensitivities, the discussion provides an important takeaway: the active medication isn't necessarily the only ingredient worth investigating. Why Can Medication Tolerance Change? Many people living with Lyme disease and other complex chronic illnesses report becoming sensitive to foods, supplements, medications, or other substances they previously tolerated. Kazarian discusses immune dysfunction as one possible piece of this complicated picture and explains why changing medication tolerance deserves investigation. This is especially relevant for Lyme patients who experience symptoms that change, migrate, or seem disconnected from one another. Rather than automatically dismissing a new reaction because a medication was previously tolerated, the episode explores why practitioners may need to look more closely at both the patient's changing health and the medication's ingredients. Lyme Disease, Coinfections & Complex Illness Kazarian prefers looking broadly at tick-borne illness rather than focusing exclusively on Borrelia. The conversation discusses the polymicrobial nature of tick-borne disease, including coinfections and the potential involvement of immune and inflammatory processes. That complexity leads to one of the central themes of the interview: There isn't necessarily one recipe for every patient. Patients can present differently, tolerate treatments differently, and require different approaches as their health changes. Carrier Oils, Microemulsions & Medication Absorption Kazarian also explains the role of carrier oils and what he describes as microemulsions. Depending on the medication and formulation, these techniques may be used to influence delivery, absorption, or gastrointestinal tolerance. He describes the concept simply as surrounding a drug with fat and explains why understanding the chemistry of both the active medication and its delivery system can be an important part of pharmaceutical compounding. Thyroid Medication as an Example of Precision Medicine Kazarian uses thyroid medication to demonstrate how individualized investigation and compounding can work together. The discussion touches on TSH, T3 and T4, free T3 and free T4, reverse T3, iodine, ferritin, medication ingredients, animal-derived ingredients, bioidentical formulations, and sustained-release compounding. The thyroid discussion serves as a larger example of the questions that can arise with a complex patient: Is the medication itself the problem? Could an inactive ingredient be contributing? Is the formulation appropriate? Is something else in the patient's clinical picture being overlooked? These are questions for the patient's healthcare team to investigate rather than assuming there is a one-size-fits-all answer. Precision Medicine & the Pharmacist's Role A major theme throughout the interview is precision medicine. Kazarian describes the compounding pharmacist as another resource for the treating practitioner when conventional medication options create challenges. Depending on the individual situation, a pharmacist and prescribing clinician may consider a different formulation, excipient, dosage form, route of administration, release method, or active ingredient when clinically appropriate. Kazarian is also clear about something important: the pharmacist does not replace the patient's practitioner. Instead, the pharmacist can become another member of the team, helping the practitioner explore additional options when they encounter a medication-related obstacle. Sterile & Non-Sterile Compounding Infuserve America provides both sterile and non-sterile compounding. Non-sterile compounding can include customized capsules, tablets, topical preparations, and other formulations. Sterile compounding includes preparations requiring specialized sterile environments and procedures, including certain injectable and intravenous medications. With Infuserve America's background in home infusion, Kazarian also discusses prescribed IV therapies, PICC lines and ports, intravenous medications, nutritional IV preparations, Myers' cocktails, and high-dose vitamin C. Giving Practitioners More Tools Perhaps the most important message from Kazarian is that compounding isn't about replacing the doctor or allowing patients to prescribe for themselves. It's about giving practitioners more tools. Kazarian describes receiving calls from practitioners who have reached a difficult point with a patient and want to know what other options may be available. Could an excipient be changed? Could another route of administration work? Could the medication be prepared differently? Those conversations between practitioners and pharmacists can create possibilities that aren't available with an off-the-shelf medication.

In Episode 2 of our special podcast series presented in partnership with Clinigen, we celebrate World Pharmacists Day by examining how hospital pharmacy is changing—and where the profession may be headed next.   Host Todd Eury welcomes Carel Bouwer, a pharmacist and Managing Director for Clinigen's Africa region, and Nicolene Schoeman, Dispensary Manager at Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital in South Africa.   Together, they explore the hospital pharmacist's position at the intersection of science and humanity. Although hospital pharmacists are recognized for their knowledge of medicines, their ability to listen, understand individual patient experiences, and help people navigate complex treatment journeys is equally important.   The conversation addresses the pressures reshaping hospital pharmacy, including increasing prescription volumes, workforce shortages, financial constraints, emerging therapies, and changing patient expectations. Carel and Nicolene discuss how the profession can meet these demands without losing the pharmacist-patient relationship that has traditionally defined pharmacy practice.   Topics include:   What people misunderstand about the work pharmacists perform How pharmacy education must evolve for the next generation Pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, AI, and digital health Preparing pharmacists for business and operational leadership Integrating pharmacists into multidisciplinary care teams Hospital pharmacists' often-unseen contributions to patient care Pharmacy-led care and its potential to reduce pressure on physicians and hospitals Antibiotic stewardship and expanded clinical responsibilities The continued growth of specialist and prescribing roles   Looking ahead, the guests consider a future in which technology manages more routine tasks while pharmacists assume greater responsibility for personalized medicine, clinical decision-making, prescribing, and direct patient care.   The future of pharmacy will be more technologically advanced—but its success will still depend on human judgment, empathy, communication, and trust.       Host: Todd S. Eury Guests: Carel Bouwer and Nicolene Schoeman Presented in partnership with: Clinigen

**NAD continues to be one of the top-selling supplements across the board, and many pharmacies are offering NAD injections through 503B partners like Olympia (a great partner that offers my members exclusive discounts). But since there isn't just one standardized protocol, dosing NAD can get confusing fast for both providers and pharmacists. I walk through the different administration routes (sub-Q, IM, and IV), typical dosing ranges, and how to think about tracking NAD by total weekly dose rather than just a single injection amount. I also share my personal comfort level when it comes to injection volume, and how to have those conversations with providers and patients when a requested dose might not be the most comfortable fit. Whether you're getting NAD dosing questions from providers or just want a clearer framework for your pharmacy, this one's for you..**   **Show Notes:** 1. **Introduction** [0:00] 2. **NAD Dosing and Dosage Forms Overview** [4:18] 3. **Standardized NAD Injection Formats** [2:07] 4. ** Challenges with High-Dose NAD Injections** [3:15] 5. **Tracking NAD Doses and Patient Comfort** [4:19] 6. **IV Infusions and Flexible NAD Scheduling** [4:50] 7. ** Final Thoughts and Member Resources** [6:40]   ----- #### **Becoming a Badass Pharmacy Owner Podcast is a Proud to be a part of the Pharmacy Podcast Network**

What happens to your gut after a serious infection, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and major surgery? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to share Elaina's recent health journey and the steps she took to restore her gut health. What began as sudden, severe abdominal pain during a vacation in Curaçao was eventually diagnosed as a ruptured appendix that had gone untreated for six days, leading to a serious infection, repeated hospitalizations, extensive antibiotic treatment, and ultimately emergency surgery. After returning home, Elaina explains that removing the appendix and treating the infection were only the beginning of her recovery. She worked with her healthcare team to address the effects of multiple rounds of antibiotics. Her treatment plan included nitazoxanide, which Elaina describes as the turning point that helped her feel dramatically better within just a few days. Bryana and Elaina discuss why restoring the gut can require a multifaceted and individualized approach, particularly after intensive antibiotic treatment. Elaina's experience highlights the importance of listening to your body, working closely with your healthcare providers, and taking an active role in rebuilding your health after a serious illness.

Community pharmacy, pharmacist prescribing, Pharmacy First, NHS medicine shortages, prevention, blood pressure checks — Jay Patel, co-CEO of Day Lewis, on why the pharmacy on your high street is the most underused and underfunded part of UK healthcare.A blood pressure check he almost declined caught the heart disease that would have killed him. Steve Roest sits down with Jay Patel — qualified pharmacist, MBA, Community Pharmacy England board member and co-CEO of one of the UK's largest pharmacy chains — on why community pharmacy is quietly becoming the front line of prevention, and what it could do if the system actually backed it.In this episode:Why a routine pharmacy check saved Jay's life, and what it says about preventionWhy every newly qualified pharmacist in the UK can now prescribeHow pharmacies are paid less for medicines than they cost to buyWhy Pharmacy First is the backbone of what's coming nextHow AI will make pharmacists better, not replace themWhy online pharmacy hasn't killed the high-street modelThe four lessons from building a 250-pharmacy family business0:00 The pharmacy check that saved his life 0:44 Intro 3:10 Welcome & why community pharmacy keeps growing in importance 5:50 Growing up in the back of a pharmacy 11:11 Why pharmacy is a bigger front line than your GP 14:12 The blood pressure check that saved Jay's life 19:13 Pharmacist prescribing and Pharmacy First 24:49 Why AI will make pharmacists better, not replace them 47:45 Why pharmacies lose money on your prescriptions 49:27 The four lessons that shaped him

What happens when a pharmacist or pharmacy professional recognizes they need help with substance use disorder? Do they have to wait for an employer or licensing board to intervene—or can they seek support on their own terms?In this episode of Drug Diversion Insights, I'm joined by Brad Schwartz, Director of Pharmacy Services at Avita Health System and President of the board of the Pharmacists Rehabilitation Organization (PRO), Ohio's peer recovery network for pharmacy professionals.Brad takes us inside the work of a pharmacist recovery network and explains how PRO supports pharmacy professionals facing substance use disorder and recovery.We explore what happens when someone reaches out for help, who PRO serves, and how peer recovery support can fit alongside professional accountability, patient safety, and formal regulatory processes.In this episode, we discuss:What the Pharmacists Rehabilitation Organization (PRO) is and who it servesHow peer recovery networks support pharmacists and pharmacy professionalsHow a pharmacist can begin seeking help for substance use disorderVoluntary help-seeking and early interventionThe relationship between recovery support and professional disciplineHow PRO operates alongside the Ohio Board of PharmacyWhy asking for help shouldn't have to begin with a crisisThe challenges of supporting healthcare professionals through recoveryThe realities of walking alongside someone who is strugglingThe moments that make recovery-support work worthwhileHow the pharmacy profession can create meaningful opportunities for recovery and second chancesBrad also shares how he first became involved with PRO and what the organization has meant to him personally.But that's only the beginning of his story.In an upcoming follow-up episode, Brad will share his own recovery journey in his own words, including the experiences that eventually brought him to the work he does today.This conversation raises an important question for pharmacy and healthcare leaders: Do professionals experiencing substance use disorder know where they can turn for help before the situation reaches a disciplinary or patient safety crisis?Recovery support and accountability don't have to be opposing ideas. Understanding the resources available to healthcare professionals can help create pathways that support recovery while recognizing the responsibilities that come with caring for patients.Whether you're a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, pharmacy leader, drug diversion specialist, medication safety professional, compliance professional, healthcare executive, colleague, or family member, this episode offers a practical and hopeful look at substance use disorder, peer support, and recovery within the pharmacy profession.More from Rxpert Solutions

This week on TWIRx, we're looking at the expanding role of pharmacists in public health, value-based care, artificial intelligence, medication intelligence, and the technology infrastructure supporting independent community pharmacy.   We begin with a special conversation featuring Alex J. Adams, PharmD, MPH, Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and Pennsylvania pharmacy leader Robert “Rob” Maher, PharmD, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Care Network (PPCN).   Dr. Adams brings a pharmacist's perspective to federal health and human services leadership, while Maher leads a statewide clinically integrated pharmacy network focused on measurable patient outcomes. Together, we discuss how pharmacists are becoming increasingly involved in public health initiatives and how organizations such as PPCN are helping demonstrate the value of pharmacist-provided care through value-based models in Pennsylvania.   Next, we continue our countdown to NASP inSPire 2026 with one of PPN's Podcast Press Sponsors, Hendren AI.   John Boos, PharmD, MBA, Founder and CEO of Hendren AI, joins us to examine the growing role of artificial intelligence in specialty pharmacy and rare disease management. We discuss how AI-enabled tools can support pharmacists by processing complex information, improving workflow efficiency, automating administrative processes, and helping pharmacy teams devote more time to clinical care and patient engagement.   Our 3rd segement on today's TWIRx, we catch up with Vince Costanzo of RxBLU for an important discussion about the rapidly changing pharmacy technology landscape.   Pharmacy software today is about far more than features and functionality. For an independent pharmacy, its technology platform can sit at the center of dispensing, claims, inventory, patient communication, workflow, and business continuity.   We discuss why pharmacies should evaluate not only the technology they purchase, but also the stability, accessibility, support structure, and long-term strategy of the company behind it. As consolidation continues throughout healthcare technology, independent pharmacy owners need to understand what a potential acquisition, ownership change, or shift in corporate priorities could mean for the software platforms their operations depend upon.   Our featured Podcast Press Sponsor is First Databank — FDB.   David Delaney, MD, President of FDB, joins TWIRx to discuss the company's newly announced FDB Script Agent™, an AI-powered prescribing agent designed to move ambient listening beyond clinical documentation.   FDB Script Agent converts patient-clinician dialogue into structured prescriptions ready for clinician review, using FDB medication intelligence to provide clinical grounding and codification rather than relying on simple natural-language processing alone. We explore what this next generation of ambient AI could mean for prescribing workflows, medication safety, clinicians, and ultimately the pharmacies receiving those prescriptions.   It's another packed edition of This Week in Pharmacy — connecting pharmacy leadership, public health, specialty pharmacy, artificial intelligence and the technology shaping the future of the profession.   This is TWIRx — This Week in Pharmacy, from the Pharmacy Podcast Network.

Hospital pharmacy is evolving rapidly — and pharmacists are playing a more influential role than ever in shaping safe, personalised and effective patient care. In this first episode of a special three-part series presented in partnership with Clinigen's Love Your Pharmacist Awards, we explore how hospital pharmacy has transformed from a traditionally dispensing-focused profession into a highly clinical, technology-enabled and collaborative discipline. Host Todd Eury welcomes Dr. Varun Sethi, SVP, Asia-Pacific and Japan Region at Clinigen, and Alison Tennant, former Chief Pharmacist and recipient of the 2025 Love Your Pharmacist Lifetime Achievement Award. Together, they discuss how pharmacists are helping solve complex treatment challenges, manage medicine shortages, support multidisciplinary clinical decisions and improve access to specialised therapies. The conversation also examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence, electronic prescribing, automation, pharmacogenomics and personalised medicine — and why human judgement, empathy and patient advocacy remain irreplaceable. The episode also looks ahead to emerging innovations including advanced formulations, precision therapies and 3D-printed medicines. At the heart of the discussion is a simple message: hospital pharmacists are often working behind the scenes, but their impact can be felt throughout the entire patient journey. The Love Your Pharmacist Awards celebrate those extraordinary contributions.

Could low testosterone be affecting your energy, mood, strength, or sex drive? Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but women rely on it too. In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the important role testosterone plays in women's health and the symptoms that may indicate testosterone levels are no longer optimized. Bryana discusses why evaluating testosterone deficiency requires more than simply looking at a lab number. Symptoms, bloodwork, hormone availability, and the individual clinical picture all matter. She also explains how sublingual bioidentical testosterone is absorbed, why physiological dosing is important, and how properly tailored therapy is designed to restore testosterone levels without causing unwanted side effects. Learn why testosterone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and how working with a knowledgeable physician and pharmacy can help women find the appropriate dose and method of treatment for their individual needs.

Is early retirement the goal or an escape from burnout? Explore purpose, flexible work, bridge accounts, healthcare, and portfolio risk. Episode Summary Is early retirement truly the goal or does it represent a desire to escape burnout or regain control of your time? In this episode of Scripted Wealth: Money & Meaning for Pharmacists, Tim & Tim examine what pharmacists may really mean when they say they want to retire early. They explore the roles of burnout, purpose, identity, and retirement expectations while considering alternatives such as mini-retirements, part-time work, and career changes. They also discuss the financial realities of retiring early, including bridging the years before traditional retirement accounts become accessible, securing health insurance before Medicare, and protecting a portfolio from sequence-of-returns risk. What you'll learn in this episode: How burnout can influence the desire to retire early and why addressing its root cause matters. How to determine whether you are running toward a meaningful vision or simply away from an unhealthy work situation. Why mini-retirements, part-time work, or a career change may offer valuable alternatives. How an ideal day, week, and year exercise can bring greater clarity to your retirement vision. What early retirement means for brokerage savings, healthcare, taxes, portfolio withdrawals, and managing sequence-of-returns risk.

Testosterone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how testosterone therapy can be customized for men based on their symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and individual response to treatment. She also discusses signs that may be associated with low testosterone. Bryana compares three testosterone dosage forms: compounded sublingual tablets, compounded slow-release oral capsules, and commercially available injectable testosterone. She explains the advantages and considerations of each, including differences in absorption, dosing frequency, convenience, gastrointestinal health, and administration. From the rapid absorption of a sublingual tablet to the familiar routine of an oral capsule or the less frequent dosing of an injection, the goal is to find an option that fits each individual's needs and lifestyle. Bryana also discusses the importance of proper dosing and ongoing monitoring during testosterone therapy. Symptoms, blood work, hormone conversion, and overall response should all be considered when determining whether treatment is appropriately balanced. Learn why personalized testosterone therapy and collaboration between the patient, physician, and pharmacist can help men find an approach that works best for them.

TWIRx NEWS 1. Medicare Part D Paid Nearly $588 Million for Ineligible OTC Drugs   A federal audit found that Medicare Part D sponsors made approximately $587.7 million in ineligible payments from 2021 through 2023 for medications that had effectively transitioned from prescription to over-the-counter status.   The HHS Office of Inspector General cited outdated FDA information and the lack of a clear CMS rejection timeline as major contributors.   Why it matters: This exposes a serious coordination problem across FDA data, manufacturers, CMS, health plans and pharmacy claims systems.   Pharmacists may see the rejection or payment issue at the counter, but the failure often begins far upstream.   Read the Fierce Healthcare report Read the HHS-OIG audit 2. FDA Responds to Estradiol Patch Supply Pressure   The FDA is working with six manufacturers to improve access to estradiol transdermal patches amid increased demand.   While FDA has not declared a national shortage, availability varies by product, strength and geographic area. Manufacturers are increasing production through larger batches, added shifts and expanded capacity.   Why it matters: Pharmacists are again serving as the front line of a supply-chain challenge—helping patients locate medication, coordinating with prescribers and identifying alternatives.   Read the Reuters report Read the FDA update 3. New RSV and COVID-19 Guidance Released   The American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have issued updated recommendations for RSV and COVID-19 protection during the 2026–2027 respiratory season.   Why it matters: Pharmacists may face conflicting recommendations, patient confusion and questions about eligibility.   Clear counseling and coordination with pediatric and obstetric providers will be critical.   Read the Pharmacy Times report SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OUTCOMES   A special update from Megan Urban and Outcomes.   Outcomes is highlighting new enhancements to its Rx30 pharmacy management platform, including a refreshed user experience, automated data-entry capabilities and support from a dedicated Client Success Team.   The program will explore how these updates can streamline pharmacy workflows, save time and support greater focus on patient care.   Presented by: Dalia Rios and Kaley Lester September 9, 2026 — 1:30 p.m. ET   Register here FEATURED CONVERSATION Building a Bridge to GLP-1 Access   Our featured guest is HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health.   HaVy works at the intersection of pharmacy, healthcare technology, medication affordability and prescription access.   Buzz Health operates platforms including BuzzRx, RxCompare and RxAffect, with a focus on helping connect patients, pharmacies, prescribers and prescription pricing information.   That makes today's discussion particularly timely. THE MEDICARE GLP-1 BRIDGE   CMS launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge on July 1, 2026, to provide eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to selected GLP-1 medications for weight management.   The demonstration runs through December 31, 2027.   Eligible beneficiaries pay $50 for a monthly supply, while the program operates outside the traditional Part D payment flow through centralized prior authorization, claims adjudication and pharmacy payment.   Eligible therapies currently include:   Foundayo® Wegovy® Zepbound®   The bigger issue is not simply GLP-1 coverage.   It is how healthcare connects eligibility, affordability, prior authorization, pharmacy workflow and patient access.   The central question for today's discussion:   Can we create a medication-access system where patients know whether they can obtain and afford their therapy before they reach the pharmacy counter? CLOSING THOUGHT   The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is more than another federal drug program.   It is a real-world test of how healthcare can better connect coverage, affordability, prior authorization and pharmacy fulfillment around high-demand therapies.   Pharmacists remain at the center of that process.   The opportunity is to use technology to move more complexity upstream—allowing pharmacists to spend less time troubleshooting prescriptions and more time caring for patients.   Our thanks to HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health, for joining us on This Week in Pharmacy.   Learn more about the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge   Learn more about Buzz Health   TWIRx — This Week in Pharmacy Pharmacy Podcast Network   Amplifying the Voice of Pharmacy.

As MTM evolves and pharmacies prepare for increased demand, what does success look like from both the technology side and the pharmacy operations side? Ross brings the perspective of innovation, workflow transformation, and MTM Intelligence. Jon brings the perspective of an independent pharmacy owner and operator who understands the realities of staffing shortages, prescription volume, patient expectations, and limited resources. The result is a conversation that feels less like a product discussion and more like an industry discussion about helping independent pharmacies thrive.   Guests: Jon Grice and Ross Frei

Why high earners still feel behind—and how a clear plan and purposeful savings buckets can turn financial anxiety into confidence. Episode Summary A high income, growing investments, and a rising net worth should lead to financial confidence. So why do so many successful professionals still feel like they're falling behind? Why doesn't financial progress always feel like financial security? In this episode of Scripted Wealth: Money & Meaning for Pharmacists, Tim & Tim explore the scarcity mindset that can persist even when the numbers suggest you're doing well. They discuss how perfectionism, comparison, childhood money scripts, and the disconnect between long-term wealth and day-to-day cash flow can create financial anxiety. They also explain why defining "enough," building a clear financial plan, and giving your money a specific purpose through savings buckets can help you spend and save with greater confidence, while enjoying a rich life today and preparing for the future. What you'll learn in this episode: Why a high income and growing net worth don't always create financial confidence How perfectionism, comparison, and childhood money scripts can fuel a scarcity mindset Why being "asset rich" can still leave you feeling constrained by today's cash flow How defining what "enough" means can provide a more meaningful measure of progress How purpose-driven savings buckets can make it easier to spend on what matters without derailing your long-term goals Mentioned on the Show YFP Wealth Disclaimer The information in this episode is provided to you for your informational purposes only and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, investment or any other advice.

Years in emergency medicine and hospice, a stretch inside military medicine at Camp Pendleton, and now her own practice in Montana treating hormones full time — perimenopause, menopause, testosterone for men and women. She is one of roughly 4,100 providers in the country holding the MSCP certification. There are 75 million American women in some phase of menopause. The math does not work. She is back to answer listener questions and to explain why estrogen patches are disappearing. The FDA says there is no shortage. Pharmacists say otherwise. Best estimate on a fix is two to three years. She lays out what the 2002 Women's Health Initiative did to an entire generation of women, and why the black box warning finally came off. Testosterone for women, prescribed off-label because no FDA-approved formulation exists. GLP-1s and what they pull out of you besides fat. Hormone therapy after breast cancer.

Can the Body Heal Itself? A Pharmacist and Naturopath Talk Pregnancy and Nutrition Dr. Randi Shannon said she was going to blow our minds, and she delivered! In this episode of MaternalRx, pharmacist Danielle Plummer, PharmD, sits down with Dr. Shannon, a traditional naturopath who uses Face, Tongue and Nail Analysis, an approach she describes as rooted in thousands of years of traditional medicine. Their conversation explores pregnancy preparation, nutrition, nausea and vomiting, minerals, essential oils, disease prevention, and Dr. Shannon's belief that the face, tongue, and fingernails can reveal clues about what is happening inside the body. The interview is followed by a commentary where Danielle puts her pharmacist hat on for an evidence-based debrief, examining several of the episode's most surprising claims and asking an essential healthcare question: What happens when an idea sounds biologically plausible, yet the clinical evidence has not been tested? Topics include Type 1 diabetes, Down syndrome, salt intake, peppermint oil in pregnancy, cholesterol, dietary oils, pharmaceuticals, nutrient requirements, and the important distinction between traditional naturopaths and licensed naturopathic doctors. This isn't a conversation about dismissing complementary medicine. It's about listening with curiosity while still asking important questions: What do we know? What don't we know? Where might an approach put a patient or pregnancy at risk, and where might it support the body's ability to heal? Stay through the end to hear Danielle's Takeaway! Section 1: Welcome and disclaimer Meet Dr. Randi Shannon What is a naturopath? Preparing the body for pregnancy Nausea in pregnancy and gut health What can fingernails tell us? Nutrients and claims about preventing or reversing disease What can the tongue reveal? What can the face reveal? Section 2: Evidence-Based Debrief Do we need exactly 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids and 3 essential fatty acids? Is Type 1 diabetes created during the first trimester? Can Type 1 diabetes develop later in life? Can maternal nutrition reverse Down syndrome in utero? Peanuts, mold, aflatoxins and liver risk Peppermint essential oil during pregnancy Are Americans “undersalted”? Pharmaceuticals, synthetic drugs and side effects Cholesterol, dietary oils and reproductive health Traditional vs. licensed naturopaths Danielle's takeaway About Dr. Randi Shannon Randi Shannon, ND, is a Florida-based traditional naturopath known for her use of Face, Tongue and Nail Analysis.

Can a pharmacist build a $10 million net worth without an extraordinary income? In this episode of the Milestones to Millionaire Podcast, Dr. Jim Dahle talks with a retired pharmacist who spent four decades building wealth through disciplined saving, long-term investing, and thoughtful real estate purchases. She shares how living below her means from the beginning of her career allowed her to become financially independent at age 52, even though she continued working for several more years by choice. Along the way, she navigated a divorce, cared for aging parents, invested through the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID market decline, and never abandoned her long-term investment plan. The conversation explores the power of compounding, balancing index fund investing with rental real estate, using market downturns as buying opportunities, and lessons learned while managing her parents' estate. She also explains why financial literacy within families matters and how open conversations can make estate transitions much smoother. Whether you're a physician, pharmacist, or any high-income professional, this episode demonstrates that building substantial wealth is less about chasing extraordinary returns and more about remaining disciplined over decades. Time in the market, consistent investing, and living below your means can create opportunities that are difficult to appreciate until compounding has decades to work.
